The Clean - Getting Older

[@p.r.7379]

I still love this band with all my heart!!!

[@dgbradman1]

absolutely an amazing song. Inspirational, tough, surf, dreamy, poetic, shy, and defiant.

[@rosshamilton2555]

Even though I wasn't born when these early songs were released I grew up listening to Pavement and through them discovered The Clean. Now 20 years on for me there's something very special about re-listening to this band..for the mainstream they may be an 'oddity' but there's no doubt about their raw quality! ☺️

[@noisepollution6761]

The world is a sorry place mate. Because of my age. Hamish tries to be perfect and you can't fix it. ✊🤙

[@reneedavies9231]

Pavement the next generation and iconic fans! I'd love to know how flying nun adjusted to the 90s

[@catcat1517]

I just discovered them, yet it feels like I've known them for years.

[@BadReligionTina]

Great song by The Clean. One of many!

[@JH-kd6hs]

This is impossibly good. Like much that came out of the deep south of NZ in the 1980's. Sounds even more glorious now

[@chocolateflavoredclorox7029]

Listening to this on the last day of junior year of high school it’s hits hard that time flies so fast and my frustrations that comes with growing up, this is gonna hit harder on the last day of my senior year

[@noisepollution6761]

Just try to have a big day until bedtime 👔

Here's something Hamish Kilgour wrote about it on his facebook page (sorry Hamish, don't mean to be creepy, but I think its worth copy and pasting here...): TVNZ would not show this clip in 1982 b coz they said the audio was faulty-but we wanted the 4 track Teac recording to sound like that-we recorded in the same place we did Boodle-and we bought a second hand trumpet from a junk shop the day of recording in Auckland becoz bob said he could play the trumpet-Rob Whute reviewd the single in the CHCH evening star saying the trumpet sounded like a dying elephant and people generally disliked itRonnie van Hout and art school bud Mervyn made this clip with me assisting in CHCH central with Bob starring-based on Buster Keaton's last existential film called FILM-how kool was that-it was all Ron's brillant idea shot on Ilam 16 mm equipment and edited on the Ilam steinbeck which Alister Parker later edited Bailter Space's NEWMan which was shot by him and his photographic studio partner Chris who is in the video-Halcion daze in the Flat city b4 it got later flattened-all thos ebrick alleyways gone gone 4 eva

[@reneedavies9231]

He was quite bolstery on Facebook are you a getaway child?

[@duckface524]

a supreme anthem of being younger than you think. won't realize it til it's truly gone man.......

[@noisepollution6761]

Stuey too realistic you have 2B meticulous 🔥 she can be as nonsensical as she likes but I'm making her too realistic as well which is lame I do it the other way round which is my problem no one cares

[@doltifantara]

one of my favourite bands from Flying Nun records

[@catcat1517]

Damn, this is brilliant!

[@objectparadise]

This version will always be the best version

[@thebogun65]

fantastic song and film- thats the pre-quake ChCh I remember, music and sights. The Clean have inadvertently documented ChCh pre-quakes very well in this and other films-especially anything could happen around arts centre area

[@MarcosSilva-ps6ml]

They make my day better

[@jmckenzie962]

So ahead of their time these guys. This one sounds kind of Pixies-esque.

[@stephenbradley6285]

Getting older.Still love it!

[@michaelbuhl4250]

[@crypto_bull]

[@McdAngus]

[@DenSmorde]

Awesome band, great song.

[@guyincognito143]

A legend.

[@patricksweetman3285]

Goodbye Hamish. You'll be missed.

[@derekadam173]

RIP Hamish

[@fullskapunkalchemist3471]

Someone told me carsick cars were inspired by the clean, I definitely see what they mean. This band is awesome.

[@borther00]

yeah I made that connexion too when I heard CSC. Another int'l connex: check Husten from Doitchland on KapitaenPlatte.

[@jonathanalpart7812]

中国摇滚万岁！

[@doorag_nationwide]

i only heard of carsick cars 'cause hamish k said he liked em. yeah they sound like they've listened to the clean a whole bunch huh. snapper & the 3Ds too i would guess.

[@scottyea]

Groovy music - what do the words say?

[@jonbywater3139]

The clip is in homage to Samuel Beckett's "Film", right?

[@pendragonU]

This is really good, almost early 70's but I know they came the decade after. Back then seemly so far away, but 80's are already 40 years ago The film reminds me of an early Weimar republic film but can't remember the title

[@noisepollution6761]

🌊 swamp blues otumoetai 1999 2000

[@shvanderlinden]

[@reneedavies9231]

[@fodiliousmemnon3441]

I think he may have loaned it to me about 1987, do you want it back...

[@thecitizenjoan]

Fodilious Memnon Yes, Of Course I Want My Hat Back!.lol

[@TheHypnogog]

RIP Hamish. Shit.

[@TheHypnogog]

This song always hit me straight in the heart.

[@Vnuckmusic]

So dirty :D

[@AnoPascoe]

This song should be banned

[@noisepollution6761]

Tell me your story I reckon the clean ruined my life but you have to take a look at yourself and start again don't ya?... what's wrong with my life...

[@AnoPascoe]

@@noisepollution6761 the suicide lyrics/ not good!!

[@FitzgeraldStanburyWeissV]

@@AnoPascoe How ridiculous. Song should be banned for suicide lyrics? I know, let's ban everything that even slightly touches on sensitive topics, so no-one can ever talk about them again. Don't be silly.

[@AnoPascoe]

@@FitzgeraldStanburyWeissV good to see you encourage suicide!

[@AnoPascoe]

@@FitzgeraldStanburyWeissV so you encourage suicide?

[@lolah3838]

RIP Hamish
