Playlist 22 September
Sorry for the delay, I couldn't find the 'enter' button on the computer.
What happens when one of your songwriters leaves, Ìýtaking one of his best songs with him? I reckon that's what happened when Richard Hell left the Heartbreakers, the band he formed with Johnny Thunders, when both found themselve at a loose end in New York in 1975. Richard had a great song called 'Love Comes In Spurts' which bears a resemblance to a song of a different name which surfaced on the Heartbreakers LP in 1977. Could be a complete coincidence, of course. Or collaboration.
Tonight we also haveÌýsix brothers, or to be more accurate, four brudders and two brothers. The Ramones meet the Paleys, from the Rock n Roll High School soundtrack. They found common ground with the Ritchie Valens song, I presume. Its not bad, but there's too much Paley and not enough Ramone for my taste
