Twice I've tried to download something from youtube. Neither time has the video 'taken', or embedded, or whatever you call it. Now I've done this before and it's a simple process, and one so automated that even I can manage.
I always choose the impossible clips, or the ones that won't download.

In 1984 I was in a band that gigged up and down the country. We did one gig at Sheffield Polytechnic. The support band was called Arabacus Pulp. They were possibly the worst band I had ever seen - no doubt it was one of their more disasterous gigs. Even the band I was in looked good by comparison.
When 'Different Class' came out, over ten years later, I was gobsmacked (to use the Joycean word).
'Common People' was for me the song of the decade. And stuck two fingers up to all the middle-classes of the 'socially concerned' variety, which means me too.
Perfect pop with a snarl by something transmuted from base lead into gold. Or perhaps it was the moment.

It might have been '85 rather than '84: it's all a bit blurred, my dears.
