He's probably best known for his poem I wanna be yours being covered by the Arctic Monkeys, as well as his song Evidently Chickentown being used in The Sopranos. I dig his style, he brings a very punk rock sensibility to his poetry, it's not the most well crafted or intricate stuff but I find it charming and witty.
>>25411072I liked his appearances in wilty. I remember the other poet guest was also good.
Didn't realize anyone had heard of him.Here he is, performing in 1981's "URGH! A Music War", which is a great time capsule of a concert video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF2ekajIY7M&list=PLJtJkhNH2y829lATrOf13RaBs3bRs3b86&index=3
>>25411072Looks like an Usogui character
>>25411072>Evidently Chickentown being used in The SopranosThat was an eye-opener, for sure. But nothing about the Sopranos made much sense.
I think he was in 24 Hour Party People right?
>>25411072I liked him. I always liked I Married a Monster From Outer Space for its goofiness. I used to put it on my playlists (the live one without all the music) all the time to disarm people.
>>25413391one of the best poems about northern England, working class crab bucket wasteland where having good things is not allowed.
>>25415011I prefer Beasely Street t.b.h.
