Oh God but I loved Buzzcocks. And Pete Shelley was an amazing songwriter. "But after all life's only death's recompense." RIP "

Listening to , Love Bites at the moment, one of the better bands to come out of punk. Saw them live early on great show.

Had the first two albums on this morning. It had to be.

RIP Pete. Seen them just the once at Colston Hall Bristol back in 1978.
Sat at work today just going through their stuff on youtube on my headphones. Another Music in a Different kitchen currently drowning out the office noise.

Timeless stuff.

Sad day, knew Pete fairly well back in the day as my mate played in a band with Pete and Howard Devoto pre Buzzcocks.
