Spitfire Bird (with eight machine guns)


I've heard this song a few times on BBC 6 Music. I like it, and the video's good too. Here's some blurb from the artistes.

Spitfire is the lead track from Public Service Broadcasting's new EP, 'The War Room', a collaboration with the BFI. Released May 28 2012 on Test Card Recordings, digitally and on heavyweight 12" vinyl. Video by PSB collaborator and all-round talented chap Owain Rich. Footage from 'The First of the Few' is (c) BFI National Archive / COI and used with kind permission.

That I should say old chap is actually Easty's mate, pure genius, very moving, sad it's all about perfection of machinery to kill some other sod doing the same as you....still makes you want to go out and grab the nation and government by the scruff of the neck and say....errr this is what its all about true brit grit, stop bickering and yabbering like a bunch of posh school kids and get out there and make brilliant things, inspire people build, create, remember the G in GB, mindyou again of course it is true that all creative waves have been driven by some terror or other, atom bombs, industrial revolution - slavery oh sorry its a cool&fun motorbike blog....sorry...xxsi
