Young Marble Giants weekend: NITA

The YMG on Something Else - one of the first times the BBC would try its hand at making a youth programme in the sort of mould which has led, today, to Nick Grimshaw being the official face of the teenage nation - doing NITA:

Embed and breakfast man: Young Marble Giants weekend

Again this week, we're drawing inspiration from Marc Riley's Peel By Request slot; this week he featured a session from Young Marble Giants.

There's not much Young Marbles Giant stuff around - their existence from 1979 demo tape to 1981 split generated a single album (the mighty Colossal Youth) and a couple of eps; a one-song reunion for BBC Radio 4 and a 2007 reunion at Hay On Wye has been pretty much it since then.

But what there was was beautiful.

So here then are Stuart Moxham, Phil Moxham, and Alison Statton. Let's kick off with the video for Cakewalking from the GoFish website (no, us neither.)
