Mission of Burma is featured this month with a killer version of the
instrumental "Tremelo". The live video was filmed at the Underground
Club in Boston, 1980. MOB opened up for The Cure that night on the second
stop of the first Cure American tour. You can see "Tremelo"
here
Also added to the Archive Portal is New Order with a live video shot
in Barcelona Spain, 1984. "Blue
Monday" was one of New Orders better electronic efforts post Ian Curtis
and Joy Division.

us with your news and shows and comments!! Talk to ya latah….Lyn
RIP Bo Diddley, 12/30/28-6/2/08
Bo had an appeal to punkers. His music was rockin' simple and that is what's it's all about for punk. He was truly DIY in the fact that he built his own guitar, and basically invented his own beat. Also he created his own persona something punkers did in force 20 years later.
Many of us saw him play in Boston several times.
He opened for the Clash at the Harvard Square Theatre and
he played with Johnny Barnes at the Channel as the picture
below shows (I know this picture was in the Herald but I figure
who looks at that thing anymore.). I saw him open for the Allman
Brothers on the Boston Common if my memory is correct. He
also played the Boston Tea Party on Lansdowne Street in
1969 among other gigs.
He was hard working and creative and by all reports he was a nice person. Not a bad role model, I'd say.
