Paul Morley - Bauhaus live - NME March 6 1982

my original clippage and scrapbookage

part of the '82 quintology of anti-rockist live reviews -  this Bauhaus sacrilege was preceded by a dry run, doing a similar trick with Kirk Brandon's ears

Paul Morley - Altered Images live - NME - February 13th 1982

 

note early use of the term "post-rock" here 

part 2 of a trilogy of live reviews poking rockists in the eye by celebrating the fluffiest frivolousest lightestweight of pure pop concoction (the others were Haircut 100 and Depeche Mode)

even better understood as part of a quintology of antirockist live reviews alongside the infamous / legendary Bauhaus one that declared that the only good thing about the band is Peter Murphy's mouth and the infamous / legendary Theatre of Hate review that asserted that the only good thing about the band is Kirk Brandon's ears  - offensively trivializing the "serious" = opening up another front in the popist versus rockist war
