Oh damn it, I knew I was forgetting something.
There's something fascinatingly ghoulish about "scientists" being present at guillotine executions looking for evidence of continued or last-second consciousness in the severed heads. Slapping the faces, yelling at them and the like.
I'm sure they could observe the very same thing Saturday night/Sunday morning in any English town at kicking out time.
Pierre shrieked as Antoine's head rolled from the platform and spat out his final words: "INDER LOCK THE THE KISS THREAD IVE REALISED IM A PRZE IDOOT."
I've just realized there's an extra "the" in my drunken statement.
I think you were hoping Inder would lock the The The thread.

No love for French Revolution guillotine recipients? You're so anglo-centric.

Not as ghoulish as the fact that they still used the guillotine as recently as 1977!!!
Well, it was invented to a more humane form of capital punishment, and strictly speaking it is the quickest form of execution. Which isn't to say I endorse it, but of the many nasty ways human beings have devised to execute criminals, it's the least painful or likely to fuck up as any other.
You are probably right however it still comes across as Medieval torture.

I agree. The idea of separating head from body—dividing what is supposed to be one—is unsettling as fuck. Lethal injection or the electric chair leave behind a whole body. But that's all about satisfying the living's sensitivities.

Whilst I am 100% against the death penalty you would think lethal injection would be the most humane way to go and even on a high but they manage to fuck that up!!!

Not going to be very creative here:

1. Fear of Music
2. More Songs About Buildings and Food
3. Talking Heads: 77
4. Speaking in Tongues
5. Remain in Light

You could make a case for any of their records through '85, imho. Last two are pretty uneven, but a pretty stellar discography, really.
Switch 4 and 5 and this is my list.

What the hell? "Israelites" was released in something like '67 or '68. Did Stiff re-release it or something? One of my all time fave songs.

Reissued it in 1980. I used to have a 10'' single of it a long long time ago.

I could choose a different Stiff top 5 for every day of the month a still be very happy.

I want "What A Waste" played at my funeral.

Holy cow, never knew Stiff was licensed to release older obscure stuff like that.

And for the bolded part - you'll get Wreckless Eric's "Personal Hygiene" and like it. :mrgreen:
