The Pop Group Pogos, Lights Stuff On Fire, Refutes Western Values
Not to turn this into “decades-old promo clips for post-punk bands” week here at Idolator, but listening to Rough Trade’s unimpeachable Wanna Buy A Bridge? compilation this morning sent me on a journey into the YouTubed heart of darkness for a few grainy, turn-of-the-’80s jolts, only to come back with Bristol’s awesome post-adolescent funk mess the Pop Group miming their deranged music to delirious footage of tribal dancing and society collapsing. Side note: that new billion-dollar 50 Cent/Akon advertisement for their killing prowess is improved tremendously by leaving “She Is Beyond Good And Evil” on to play behind it.
