RTP-area local music and culture

["DJ Golf" <djgolf AT mindspring.com>]

I continue to be astounded at the number of obscure and fascinating
music clips available for viewing on YouTube.  Clips from 1970's/80's
European TV shows (Musikladen et al.) are particularly plentiful.
Last night I watched several songs from a 1973 Roxy Music performance
- the original lineup with Eno on synthesizers doing Remake/Remodel,
In Every Dream Home A Heartache (that was particularly good, with mind-
bending Manzanera gtr solo), Virginia Plain, Do The Strand etc.  Also
found several "Metal-Box"-era PiL clips (they seemed to be quite
prolific on UK TV then, no doubt due to Lydon's celebrity/notoriety),
some Can, lots of Joy Division, a bunch of US indie-noise stuff
(there's an unbelievable clip of Jesus Lizard live where David Yow is
knocked unconscious by a bottle thrown from the crowd) and really late
the other night I found something I hadn't thought of in years...Kiss
on The Midnight Special 1975, which at the time may have been the
coolest thing I (at age 14) had ever seen.  Finally - the Internet
delivers what I've always wanted it to.
