Dear friends, I just found out that Mensi, leader of Angelic Upstarts, died on December 10th, 2021 at the age of 65 after being infected with Covid-19. Now the second from the band after bassist Tony (died on February 22nd, 2021). I'm really shocked and sad, the punk world has lost a big fighter and sympathetic person, I raise my glass to you! R.I.P. Mensi, the next posts are dedicated to you.
I think a compilation from Rot Records is a worthy homage, on the one hand I don't know a bad record from this label, on the other hand I think the music fits right now. Two Ninety Nine is full with great bands/songs which show an excellent overview of the house bands and whose singles were mostly available in small editions. I think, this compi had only a print run of 1000 copies as well. Everything is said, let the music speak!

2.Red Alert - KILLROY
3.Bone Orchard - NAKED PREY
4.We Don't Need You - MANIA
5.Use Your Brain - CLAMPDOWN

7.Desperation Time - RADIO NINE
8.Don't Criticise - PATROL
9.Last But Not Least (Live) - THE ENEMY
10.S.S. Officer - PATROL
11.Murder And Maim - CLAMPDOWN

14.Where Are They Now? - RADIO NINE
15.Shoulder To Shoulder - MANIA
16.Call Of The Reaper - NAKED PREY

Bonne compilation achetée il y a longtemps en 1984 !!
ReplyDeleteIf you believe in covid19, well, Santa Claus is coming to town. Virii DO NOT EXIST, no matter how many pseudologues tell you otherwise, virii were made up by the modern day snake oil salesmen to sell their dodgy and cancerous cure-alls (who you can't sue). People die from poison/contamination/pollution; clean running water, decent housing and sanitation eliminated all the old diseases, chlorea, smallpox, etc, vaccines invented new, deadlier illnesses like CANCER! Media are liars, they are owned by the same bastards as Big Pharma, hand in glove with their puppet government stooges.
ReplyDeleteYou are a complete dick,. I will also raise a glass to Mensi tonight, someone with real guts not just a keyboard warrior. Good on yer for hijacking a memorial to someone to make a political point you fuckwit.
DeleteDieses scheiß Covid... es trifft sowieso immer die falschen((( So viele geniale Musiker und vor allem gute Menschen sind viel zu früh gestorben! Mach weiter so, halte die Erinnerung an ihre Musik am Leben! Dein Blog ist der Beste! Man merkt es kommt von Herzen! Ich werde jetzt eine Flasche Wein öffnen) Gute Musik wird nie sterben!!!
ReplyDeleteIch hatte das schon 2 Tage nach seinem Tod erfahren! Es ist so traurig und die Welt verliert (mit dem Tod von Beiden) großartige Legenden des Oi! und Streetpunk! Toll von dir, daß du das noch mal aufgreifst und ihm nochmal ein kleines Denkmal setzt, indem du ein paar Alben oder Sampler reinstellst, die daran erinnern, was für einmalige Musiker uns durch diesen Virus genommen wurden! R.I.P Mensi - Forever in our Hearts and forever alive in your Songs!
ReplyDeleteRest In Peace, Mensi. Angelic Upstarts has always been a good band. Thank you for this tribute
