just curious - do “dead periods” mean no NIL negotiations?

In a statement shared on the Pere Ubu page on Facebook, it was confirmed that Thomas died in Brighton and Hove, England, on April 23rd, 2025. He had his “wife and youngest step-daughter by his side” during his final moments. The statement also noted: “MC5 were playing on the radio. He will ultimately be returned to his home, the farm in Pennsylvania, where he insisted he was to be ‘thrown in the barn’.”

interesting song, it sounds so familiar and yet i’ve never heard it before

thanks for posting, nice artifact from the past - and a good example of the difference between European standards and US, definitely dont see that sculpture behind the drummer in the first video getting past the censors in 1975 :lol:

from 16 July 1964 (release of “Hard Days Night/Things We Said Today” single) through 5 August 1966 (release of Revolver) was the most remarkably creative and influential period in popular music history IMHO
