Before I left my flat this morning there was a repeated extract of a speech given by the late Harry Patch – the last survivor of the Great War – on Radio 4. Apparently, Thom York of Radiohead heard it and wrote a song in its honour.
So far so good.

Throbbing Gristle – Live at Heaven, London
2 CommentsJuly 8, 2009 – 8:31 am
Throbbing Gristle were formed by Genesis P’Orridge and Cosey Fan Tutti in 1975 amid the soon-to-be disbanded art performance movement COUM Transmission which P’Orridge founded in 1969. Having opened for Hawkwind and after impressing John Peel, they recorded their first album in 1977 and the rest, as they say, is history.
Well not really.
