Possibly my favourite bit of telly ever :notworthy:
MES takes to festival headlining like its a Fall gig in working man's club, and no matter what your feelings on Glastonbury, The Fall, Gorillaz, the part where the whole song threatens to fall apart in the middle and Damon rises to yell "What the f**k are you doing" at the drummer (Cass from Senseless Things for those that care about that kind of thing!) is absolutely priceless - I'm not sure I've ever seen such blind panic on a stage before and the whole band do brilliant to pull it back together.

As for Mick Jones and Paul Simonen dressing up as sailors ... :cry:

Aye, the press hyped them up in 1992 and they failed to deliver (or not enough people bought their records)

I always thought Jolt had the potential to become something rather good, but it was all rather short lived.

I always enjoy Hold It Down though.
