These techno gadges are on an odd bunch. Pots and Pans at the after party and Twin Peaks on in the chillout. You’d probably smoke heroin in a back bedroom and wait for the sweet release of death.

LT becoming Dermo is not one I saw coming.

5 days later

Terry Hall lead singer of ‘The Specials’ has passed away age 63. Rip

Ghost Town is undoubtedly one of the great British number ones. Just about remember the eerie video of them all in the back of the car playing on TOTP

Fuck me, only found out just now. The older kids in our town all loved The Specials and so did we as a result. 60 fucking 3. Horrendous.

I hope I don’t catch this “short illness” that seems to be killing quite a few people.

RIP.One of the best gigs i went to in my youth was at Margate.Just like the vid.below.

The Specials at Glastonbury was one of the best things I’ve ever seen.

What a seminal band.

RIP Terry Hall.

I didn’t realise he was abducted by a teacher at 12 years old, taken to France to be sexually abused for four days, and then punched in the face and dumped on the side of the road…

And as for Hall etc.

    I did hear about how he got abused when he was a child but didn’t know about the whole story. I’m 53 so I remember the whole two tone scene. I can remember wearing two tone trousers with loafers with a cardigan.

        Dubman I can remember wearing two tone trousers with loafers with a cardigan.

        Still bang on trend in Haggerston tbf.

            Seriously. I much preferred the casual fashion that came in after. Although I couldn’t the expensive labels.

              Dermo bought that outfit for his son’s 13th birthday around the same time, dm. Great minds and all that…
