Ian Dury

REASONS TO BE CHEERFULL.

Stumpled upon a favourite dwarf punk rocker Ian Dury album today. Being a greatest hits album containing tracks from 1977 - 1980, the visionary Ian Dury stands out clear as daylight. Tracks like "Sexs and drugs and rock`n`roll", "Hit me with your rhytm stick", "I want to be straight", and "Plaistow Patricia" is hip hop before hip hop became hip hop with the likes of Grandmaster Flash and the furios Five.

Moreover the records holds every concievable memory of when where and why I as a young teenager in 1979 went astray from Mainstream Boulevard. Surely, ideal reasons to be cheerfull.
