Random YouTube Friday: Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine

Brixton's criminally underappreciated synthpunks live in Zagreb, Croatia in 1994 playing "Falling On A Bruise/The Final Comedown" off their finest hour, 1991's 30 Something (amazingly, in stock on Amazon and available on iTunes - off you go). The gig ended up on a bonus disc with 1995's Worry Bomb, by which time Carter had essentially stopped bothering the charts. Below that, "Re-educating Rita" from the same gig. 

Carter mixed social commentary, groan-inducing puns and gratuitous south London references with punk guitar and Korg basslines. They also performed a valuable public service by physically assaulting  Philip Schofield at the 1991 Smash Hits awards.  These days they get back together very very occasionally and sell out the Brixton Academy. I saw them live in Dallas on the Love Album tour in 1992 before they acquired the unnecessary drummer. Fucking brilliant — I believe all 38 of us enjoyed it immensely.
