Song "Seattle"

Posted by Grant Brissey on Wed, May 6, 2009 at 5:18 PM

When you go to YouTube and type in "Seattle" this is the first result.

Not really PIL's best work ever.

All this time, I thought this song was about Mark Arm trashing Lydon's dressing room. Fuckin' Azerrad.

from the look of this video, john lydon was the original hipster.

Ignoring the outdated video, this and Album make up the best and most experimental pop P.i.L. period.

Easily my favorite one.

I think Lydon just named the song "Seattle" after the Green River trashing thing, if that rumor is true. That said, some things about the song are pretty accurate. "Everything remains the same again".

However, I'm disappointed that the video makes Seattle seem like it's Sheffield or something, which gets me excited, and then I realize that we're not home to trains, the Human League, Cabaret Voltaire, nor Heaven 17. :(

Nor Warp Records (before it moved to London).

I saw that show where Mark Arm talked shit about Rotten right before PIL came out... awesome, 'cept we only got like 6 songs from PIL before Rotten stormed off stage.

original hipster...that's the PERFECT classification for this guy!

i knew Rotten had a thing against Seattle, not sure why... evidently,looking at all the explosions in the video, he wouldn't be too sad if the town blew up. i never really liked this guy, and i never really like hipsters...it's all coming together.
