The Mekons - Last Dance

Here's another northern English post-punk band that's been around forever and yet I've only seen once. At the end of the gig Sally told the audience to piss off. In a nice way.

This is one of those songs that I think even if you're not a Mekons fan generally you'd have to love, if you have any sort of taste in music. It stands head and shoulders above everything else they've ever done, IMHO, and in fact should be considered a classic indie track full stop - I'm always surprised at how little-known it seems to be. Just a lovely, wonderful, amazing song that I could listen to over and over again every day for the rest of my life.
