09 bullets for you 02 - Get Up & Use Me

I must stop beginning blog entries with "I must"--there's nothing like seeing identical openings stacked up in an RSS reader to point out a rut. My last UK skronk entry covered Clock DVA and Biting Tongues, both from 1981. Now we'll move on to B...

That's the opening line of the second album, Change of Heart (1982), by Glasgow band Positive Noise, another lost band of the 80s. The album title is significant: their first album was called Heart of Darkness, but frontman/songwriter Ross Middle...
