I remember Charles Shaar Murray in the NME
writing about the growth of one off punk singles in 1977. Form a band,
write a song, put the record out on your own label. As an imaginary
example, he used 'I'm A Berk' by The Berks on Berk Records. I'm not
sure if anyone ever borrowed those names for an actual single but The
Angelic Upstarts lean in that direction.
Using the same naming formula would throw up the following;
'I'm A Member' by The Members, 'I'm A Raincoat' by The Raincoats and , well, that's as far as it goes without losing the goodwill and patience of the audience.
The Diagram Brothers record's good , though. Why, they're all good tonight.
Angelic Upstarts - I'm An Upstart
The Nightingales - Elvis, The Last Ten Days
The Members - Sound Of The Suburbs
