Not really surprising but there were a couple of punk songs in his box of seven inches. When rearranging the singles in chronological order this is when it gets interesting if you ask me. The Negatives (never heard of them before, Google seems to be pretty useless as well) are featured with their 1979 release Love Is Not Real. Straight and to the point. If it was real it wouldn't be love, no? Unbelievable how this kind of direct, primitive music by people who didn't care about virtuosity still sounds totally enthralling. It takes you by the guts, the balls if you are male. No bullshitting, no fucking around, just a "we are there, fuck you all". Punk was the late musical execution of the liberation the late 60s paved the way for. The LSD-drenched music of the times (is there anything more awful than a jam of the Grateful Dead?) was a blind alley of self-obsession. Punk will never age. A fountain of youth.
