Television Personalities - La Grande Illusion

Here's another cult band who's put out about 150 albums that hardly anyone buys. The TV Personalities aren't exactly one of my favourites - they're a little too self-consciously ironic at times, and the constant name dropping gets tiresome. But you have to admire them (or, really, him) for hanging in there all these years.

This song isn't particularly typical of their style; it's more in keeping with the classic sort of English indie rock of the very early 1980s, which probably explains why it's my favourite of theirs.
