[peel] 60s survivors

[Neil Jenkins]

I seem to remember him playing The Seeds a time or two back then, and a few others he used to "hang around" with during his time in the States.
 
It's interesting that around the time punk exloded in the UK (and I started listening to his shows in 1977) he would keep a link with the preceding US music, and we all know what effect the first Ramones LP had on him.  However, in the early 90's when there was a resurgence of interest in punk he'd play UK punk stuff from '76-'78 but (as I recall) downplay any earlier US influence.  For example, I remember him playing "Smokescreen" by The Desperate Bicycles, including the "It was easy and it was cheap, go and do it" message, and suggesting that that was the catalyst.  I sometimes got the impression he wondered about the difference between being influenced as a listener and being influenced as someone with a guitar in their hands.
 
Either way, it's all crackin' stuff!!  :-)
