Its NZ Music Month here, so its time for some nostalgia… I so vividly remember seeing this video for the first time, it was my first year at university (which makes it sometime in the mid 80s) I was staying at a student hostel in Christchurch, studying boring electrical engineering & slowly going nuts.. My one dose of sanity would be Radio With Pictures on a Sunday night. The TV room would slowly fill with people & there would be a group response every time a video came on, and I remember the response to this one; not only could most people not handle the music, the video was like an afront to their dreadful 80s tastes… meanwhile I quietly buzzed out on it & the following day headed off to buy the vinyl. The band? the Tall Dwarfs – the genius duo of Chris Knox & Alec Bathgate… or make that a trio as Chris Knox’s Teac 4 track really had to be considered an active part of the band. If you’ve never heard them, then you are in for a weird treat:
