I met him at the Sensible gig. Fingers crossed he may be up for a blog spot at some point..That's the great thing about Flexipop anything went Motorhead, Heaven 17, The Damned photo-stories (Rat Van Winkle)..Don't forget to check Mr Flexipop's (Barry Cain) pop and punk stories <a href="http://planetmondo.blogspot.com/2008/09/book-of-revelation.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. A gem..<br /><br />Were you not tempted to tap little Jimmy on the shoulder and ask about the him and Marc Almond rumors..Dig about ISB, the Ants and Soft Cell editions are hugely collectible - the Nick Heyward one (Nobody's Fool Demo) is a treat..<br /><br />There's a <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/feb/04/flexipop-tim-lott" rel="nofollow">follow up </a>due soon (ish)to Barry's 77 Sulphate Strip covering his Flexi years.

He looks better as a fortysomething that he did as a youngster - his was a face not made for youth.<br /><br />And I only stopped getting mistaken for Shirlie from Wham! about five years ago, when I grew my hair. <br /><br />Flexipop was fantastic, though it DID mess up your stylus. We've got a few in the loft somewhere, though they may have perished into a pile of slime by now. <br /><br />And 'On Safari' was compulsory viewing when we were students with far too much time on our hands. It went with Danger Mouse and Blockbusters, for a perfect afternoon's viewing.

Anyway, Kajagoogoo were performing the week I went which was a huge disappointment as I thought I was getting The Thompson Twins! Its hard being a teenager. On the plus side Bob Carolgees and Spit the dog were presenting, yeah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
