Beautiful Billy...RIP

[@onkouth]

Every time i listen to this i love it more, its my favourite song,amazing, RIP Billy your a superstar

[@timwilderspin]

Billy's so beautifully non-committal in these. You can tell he's about to throw it all away.

[@15chipshops]

Possibly my favourite Associates song! although they have so many incredible songs that it's almost impossible to pick one. Would love to see footage of 'Tell Me Easter's On Friday'. Spacehopper70: Thanks for making my day!!!

[@daphoebster]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

[@Harker777]

Perfectly put. One of the best 80s songs. Not one of the most popular, but one of the most enduring for me.

[@heavyboxes]

This song is brilliant. I never heard the Associates until the other day and I was immediately amazed. So 80's. So Demented. So good.

[@dancingchexmix]

Omg! I haven't heard this song since 1986. Thank you so much for sharing this. Love it! RIP Billy - love is eternal!

[@atomkraftteddy]

Great to see this again! "Götterdammerung 2000" was a dutch TV show, broadcasted bij the VPRO. aprox. 1980. Great song to.

[@242Batman]

I did live back then but I wish I could go back to that time, so much better the music!

Alan is conspicuous in his absence here

[@diskochimp]

Terrific! x

[@lufiwo]

Its very incredible to think more of us lived that new wave period and now we are men and women about 50....was that music very fresh and fascinating...never like this era of violence in music,rap,and so on...yes i'm feeling old but faithfull that past age of sounds.

Music for the gods...

[@dancingchexmix]

Sending Daimoku. I Love You Always.......

[@timwilderspin]

@Starjammer74 Couldn't agree more! Them was the gods.

[@nationstolemyrobots]

There's a bug with a number of clips on KZbin (not just mine) where Flash player sometimes squeezes them. The file (as uploaded) had the correct aspect ratio. Any ideas?

[@johncr100]

Who is the girl keyboard player?

[@dancingchexmix]

daimoku for U

[@nationstolemyrobots]

More proof that Simon Cowell is evil (if any is needed): compare his "Ruff Mix" by Wonderdog to "Voluntary Wishes Swapit Productions" by our beloved Associates. Both in the shops at roughly the same time, too.

Buddha...nammyohorengekyolovelovelove... and so it is!

[@baronsaturday9560]

Dutch? Isn't it Rotterdammerung? Götterdämmerung sounds so German...

[@martinhclowes]

Götterdämmerung = twilight/downfall of the gods, as I guess you well know. Otherwise you wouldn't have got the umlauts right ;)

[@Fatgeologist]

Great band, great singer, but fuck, doesn't it sound like Peter Hammill? Not that that is any criticism.
