England’s DESPERATE BICYCLES not only wrote songs encouraging people to join bands, start labels and whatnot, they also provided this handy 1978 primer on their rights upon getting arrested. Many Britons of punk age were, in fact, finding themselves under arrest around this time – miners’ strikes, dole queues and all that.
“Advice on Arrest” was one of 6 songs on their “New Cross, New Cross” 7"EP, and I thought you might like to hear it.
Always loved this; it’s from the June 18th, 1981 issue of the UK’s SOUNDS music newspaper. VICE SQUAD were one of the first straight-up punk records I ever bought, not long after this letter to the editor.

Very cool pop song from a Greek band (!) called The Occasional Flickers.

I bought a copy of the UK’s SOUNDS magazine, dated June 18th, 1981, a few weeks after it came out at Little Professor Book Center in San Jose, CA. I was 13 years old, and it upended my world. Take a look at the “Indie” charts that week.
New episode of Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio Podcast – our 14th. I recorded this over the weekend with you – you – in mind. I knew you’d want to hear new stuff from The Sleaze, The Delphines, Raw Prawn, The Wimps, Cheater Slicks and The Oblivians. I figured you’d be up for cuts from new reissues from Come and the Androids of Mu. And my thinking was that you’d also be real happy if I played some older stuff from Ty Wagner, Susan Lynn, The Other Half, Pussy Galore and a whole bunch more. So an hour and fifteen minutes later, Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio #14 was ready to go.
