Song Of the Day: March 20, 2005


Flying Colours-Abstract Art

No Records 45, 1981

Terrific punk rock single, or goofy knock-off of the Rezillos "(My Baby Does) Good Sculptures?" Who says it can't be both? This is one of many fantastic records that first came to our attention via the Teenage Treats compilations of rare UK punk/powerpop/mod/DIY.

Wow. Leave it to the British, with Creation's classic "Painter man", to establish a fine tradition of rock about art. What a great tune. There is a good mix tape in there somewhere - "Songs about art" or something. I already am compling a track listing in my head.

The song is very catchy a bit like the Gifed Children another UK group from the same time period. btw Is the last post from Joshua ie. Abstract Objects?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think this is the UK punk/new wave group The Table, recording under another name. They were more well known for their singles 'Do The Standing Still' and 'Sex Cells'. If you listen to those singles then listen to this, it sounds very much like the same singer to me. Any ideas, anyone?
