Young Marble Giants live

 via SFJ: "Here is a clip of Young Marble Giants playing "Wurlitzer Jukebox" live on the BBC in 1980. I think about this band all the time, because of how fully they make the music school approach obsolete [Fave comment under the video: 'I roadied for them in 1980 on their short tour of Scotland. Not much lifting involved, however. Nice people."]

"Here is a full 45-minute set from November of 1980, in black and white. If you have the option of thinking about what your instrument could do rather than learning what it has done, you might end up with your own Young Marble Giants. I always forget a little bit what instruments they played, beyond the fact that they had no drummer. There should be more bands without drummers!"
