I don't watch much TV. But when I do it's usually the crass, cheap ITV type of rubbish that I enjoy. I'm currently enjoying 'Reborn In The Usa'. The Sonia -vs- Dollar stuff was priceless and had me and Darren howling. Thereza Bizarre made me wanna spit at the telly but it's a pity that Dollar won't be on next weeks show. Watch out for media fallout this week as David Burger-Van-Day scoops as much as he can from their fiasco.
The best voice on the show for me is Leee John from 80's homo-disco group Imagination. He sounds like Galaxy chocolate (if it could sing). Spookily, I came across a review of an Imagination album this morning from the NME in 1983 (20 years old and just about to be sold on e-bay):
'Imagination have produced another enjoyable LP that lures Youth to its Doom. All this music is very disturbing to an avid fan of mindlessness and cultural collapse like myself.'
I remember a particularly fantastic Top Of The Pops back then which featured Imagination, Patrice Rushen, Bauhaus and Honey Bane. Finger paused on the 'rec' button of the huge toploader VHS player and then watched many times over that weekend as various 'non-video household' friends popped round for coffee and a flick through the NME.
