The Best of Brought To Life - 367

1. DISCHARGE - 'The Possibility Of Life's Destruction'
'Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing' - Clay LP - UK - 1982
1982 was a good year for Discharge with this seminal album and a B-side which blew away most of what everyone else attempted that year. It quickly went downhill after that, but at least they're still at it and treading a more familiar path these days.
2. NOLLA NOLLA NOLLA - 'Liian Nuori'
'S/T' - Beta LP - Finland - 1984
A cool E.P., this great album and then nothing until a 3-track 7" appeared 21 years later. What were they doing?
3. KRUNCH - 'Fabrik'
'När Varje Dag Är Ett Snesteg' - Spunk cassette - Sweden - 1984
The mighty Krunch before committing to vinyl.
4. THE LYNCH MOB - 'Naughty Girl'
Single - Long View 7" - USA - 1981
Their only release, from Wormtown, Massachussets. Pat Lynch, the singer, is rumoured to be the father of James Lynch from the Dropkick Murphys for those of you interested in such things.
5. BUZZCOCKS - 'Oh Shit'
Flipside of 'What Do I Get?' - UA 7" - UK - 1978
And there's a nice demo version here.

6. EMPIRE - 'Him Or Me'
'Expensive Sound' - Dinosaur Discs LP - UK - 1981
Derwood's next project after he left Generation X. At the time, I didn't think this was much better than 'Valley Of The Dolls' but at least he was attempting to break new ground.
7. THE POP GROUP - 'We Are All Prostitutes'
Single - Rough Trade 7" - UK - 1979
'Everyone has their price and you too will learn to live the lie'.
8. KRUNCH - 'Där Hoppet Finns Är Plågan Värst'
'När Varje Dag Är Ett Snesteg' - Spunk cassette - Sweden - 1984
Another track from their first demo.
9. NOLLA NOLLA NOLLA - 'Vanhuus'
'S/T' - Beta LP - Finland - 1984
A song about old age. Whether it's a lament or a piss-take, I really don't know.
10. DISCHARGE - 'I Won't Subscribe'
'Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing' - Clay LP - UK - 1982
11. THE WANNADIES - 'New World Record'
'Be A Girl' - Snap CD - Sweden - 1994
My experience with The Wannadies is probably unique. I didn't think much of any of their songs until this, their third album. And the next two just got better and better.
12. MINUTEMEN - 'CCCP'
Demo - USA - 1980
Recorded on an Econo Cassette Machine in Frank Tonche's House. Available on the 'Georgeless' E.P.
13. KRUNCH - 'Glöd'
'När Varje Dag Är Ett Snesteg' - Spunk cassette - Sweden - 1984
14. BUZZCOCKS - 'Lipstick'
Flipside of 'Promises' - UA 7" - UK - 1978
15. NOLLA NOLLA NOLLA - 'Vesiputous'
'S/T' - Beta LP - Finland - 1984
16. DISCHARGE - 'Protest And Survive'
'Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing' - Clay LP - UK - 1982
17. EMPIRE - 'All These Things'
'Expensive Sound' - Dinosaur Discs LP - UK - 1981
18. THE WANNADIES - 'Might Be Stars'
'Be A Girl' - Snap CD - Sweden - 1994
There's a video for this one but I hate the damn thing.
19. KRUNCH - 'Ventil'
'När Varje Dag Är Ett Snesteg' - Spunk cassette - Sweden - 1984
20. NOLLA NOLLA NOLLA - 'Tänään Täällä Huomenna Poissa'
'S/T' - Beta LP - Finland - 1984
21. MINUTEMEN - 'Big Man Business'
Demo - USA - 1980
22. DISCHARGE - 'Drunk With Power'
'Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing' - Clay LP - UK - 1982
23. EMPIRE - 'New Emotion'
'Expensive Sound' - Dinosaur Discs LP - UK - 1981
24. KRUNCH - 'Människors Verk'
'När Varje Dag Är Ett Snesteg' - Spunk cassette - Sweden - 1984
25. THE WANNADIES - 'You And Me Song'
'Be A Girl' - Snap CD - Sweden - 1994
Too poppy and soppy for most of you, yeah, I know, but don't take everything too literally. Here's a live version from Glasto 2000.  That's me in the audience, with the hat.
26. NOLLA NOLLA NOLLA - 'Työ Kutsuu'
'S/T' - Beta LP - Finland - 1984
27. THE LYNCH MOB - 'Pick Of The Litter'
Flipside of 'Naughty Girl' - Long View 7" - USA - 1981
28. MINUTEMEN - 'Studio Of The Lawns'
Demo - USA - 1980
