8. The song I want played at my funeral
Carter USM's "Lean On Me I Won't Fall Over".
I mean, I will have fallen over.
But since its release it's been my get-you-out-of-a-mental-hole song, and I'd like to bequeath that strength to any mourners.

Whatever the band I’m going to see, I normally have the apparel to pass for one of their core following. But for MC Hammersmith, I’m at a loss, so, well, let’s do a bit of everything then

Schofield! Duck!
"Rubbish" - Carter
Jimbob and Fruitbat made records, sold themselves as a voice for working class lads particularly from London. Witty and cynical, full of wisecracks and a throwback to Morecambe and Wise.
Not my bag at the time, I think I need to go back and re-assess them. Any band that can bring a broken down car on stage has got chutzpah and dreams big.

Been having a deep dive of my digital record collection the last couple of weeks and I'm extremely puzzled as to why I have a track from 1994 called "Titta Bort" by Tjernobyl Dödar.
It's Swedish, originally released in 1994 on a cassette called Krampfeber. Judging by the metadata I got it in 2010. Turns out it's a cover of GI Blues by Carter USM ("titta bort" means "look away")

I don’t know if they would have worked together as people and artists, but I kindof fantasise about what a group performance by #CarterUSM and #TheKLF together on stage at once would have been like.
I imagine like this, but with a lot more smoke machines and lights:

Carter U.S.M - The Only Living Boy In New Cross
WIKI
The song is a mix of punk, rock, and dance elements and features lyrics that touch on themes of loneliness, isolation, and youth rebellion. The title references the famous Simon & Garfunkel song "The Only Living Boy in New York." The catchy chorus and energetic instrumentation helped it become one of the band's most popular and enduring songs. -

#NowPlaying Trouble / This Is the Sound of an Eclectic Guitar: A Collection of Other People's Songs / Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine
https://open.spotify.com/track/6yzaBGw4wSKANlS68SWpUQ#CarterUSM never given the praise they desrve. For a band that topped the charts, headlined Glastonbury and were the darlings of the music press in the 90's they're hardly ever mentioned these days.
