Food, sex and paranoia!

Gideon Coe recently featured a couple of tracks by one of the best bands of the 80's - Furniture... I got into Furniture too late and only saw them once live (Goldsmiths College supporting The Wedding Present around 1986...) With the demise of the legendary Stiff Records and tours to the most unlikely (even now) countries they broke up prematurely... At a time when guitar bands were rule of the day they broke the rules - sax, keyboards and girls who weren't a pretty lead singer; they changed my outlook on music...

BBC6: Gideon Coe

The Furniture songs are in the Wednesday show at approximately 4 mins 'The Unspoken Things' (unreleased) and 1hr 40 mins (She gets out the scrapbook)...
