Feb. 8 1980: Magazine released the single "Song From Under The Floorboards" (b-side is "Twenty Years Ago"), in advance of their third Virgin Records studio album, 'The Correct Use of Soap'; the song found a disturbed-sounding Howard Devoto intoning "I am angry, I am ill, and I'm as ugly as sin" - an homage to Dostoyevsky's 'Notes from the Underground', which opens with the lines, "I am a sick man. I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man"
I'm a huge fan of Howard Devoto and all his work with Buzzcocks, Magazine, Luxuria, solo etc. Feed the Enemy is my blog set up to promote this. I make no money from the site nor is it linked officially to Howard or any of the related bands or individual members. It is just a fans blog, nothing more. If you don't like any of it. Well, that's your loss, not mine.
