Photo of my London hostel television set, broadcasting a live performance by Edwyn Collins, the last week of August 1995.

i can’t believe I found this photo! About a month ago, I posted the notes I hastily scribbled in my trip journal upon watching this performance. I’d forgotten that, in my excitement, I’d even taken a picture of the TV set. It was a one-room accommodation, with a shared bathroom down the hall. But, by golly, I had my own, wall-mounted cathode ray tube television set.

This photo is a document of my genuine astonishment upon seeing a longtime indie music idol on broadcast television. 3 Cheers For Our Side!

Page from my personal journal:  notes on a British television performance by Edwyn Collins, observed during my trip to London, August 1995.

While most of the things I scribbled in my trip diary were record store reviews like this, I also apparently felt compelled to document my first time seeing Edwyn Collins on TV.

As a longtime Orange Juice fan, I found his sudden fame as a solo artist—thanks to the massive hit “A Girl Like You"—to be quite disorienting. And August 1995, when I was visiting the UK, was at his peak of popularity. In fact, I would see him live back in Boston the very next month on his first-ever tour of the USA.

I was sitting on the bed of my budget hotel in London, the kind with the small cathode-ray tube set mounted from a bracket in ceiling corner, when I happened upon a live performance of Mr. Collins and his band and scribbled my thoughts while trying not to bounce too hard on the tiny mattress in my room.

My notes were concise, though perhaps slightly uncharitable about the perspiration situation. But hey, I did call Mr. Collins “dapper”:

Edwyn Collins on BBC3 @ 1 in the morning performing “A Girl Like You,” “The Campaign For Real Rock.” In front of an audience of swaying club kids. Dapper, but sweating like a pig. Turned it on just as the “punk rock” MC announced him.

En considérant les fenêtres de la voiture-bar d’un train, je me suis demandée pourquoi diantre ces cons-là avaient jugé bon de placer une puta mierda de barre pile sur l’horizon entre les 2 fenêtres. Je sais bien que mon horizon n’est pas le vôtre (vaste considération métaphysique, comme celle sur les baskets dans lesquelles on marche, alors même qu’on porte presque tous les mêmes, citoyens du "Adidas World"), mais moi qui fais pile la taille médiane des filles de ma génération, une Française moyenne de compète, je vois pas l’horizon, zut quoi. C’est un peu comme le poteau au théâtre. Ils se sont peut-être trompés dans la commande de fenêtres… Ou bien au contraire ils ont voulu tenter un truc à la Hundertwasser… Ou bien anticiper les envies de bris de glace pour s’enfuir de la voiture-bar avec un petit stock de mignonettes de vin en plastique sous le bras… Bref, debout ou le cul sur leur tabouret, le paysage est en pièces détachées… Et je ne suis pas certaine que Rothko pensait à ce genre de chapelle pour célébrer ses tableaux : "Ce serait bien qu’on puisse construire partout dans le pays des lieux, des sortes de petites chapelles, dans lesquelles un voyageur ou un promeneur puisse méditer longuement sur un unique tableau accroché dans une petite salle." Il aurait sûrement repris le refrain d’Edwyn : “Don't wanna live in an Adidas world With Adidas boys and Adidas girls” https://youtu.be/DuJGChS9MT0 #rothko #edwyncollins #hundertwasser #poteau #sncfcestpaspossible https://www.instagram.com/p/CRb_aOVL9VF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tame Impala deliver this years final (and possibly the most unreal) Like A Version on triple j with a cover of Edwyn Collins' - 'A Girl Like You', they've taken the 1994 record and re-purposed it in exchange for heavily compressed drums that crunch, various process effects and sweeping filters, whilst still capturing the essence of the original vocal performance.
