It's the 32nd Anniversary of The Ramones at The Roundhouse. Topping the bill that night were Sire stablemates at the time, the Flamin' Groovies. In a bizarre coincidence, Cyril Jordan is back here for a set at the Wireless festival with Magic Christian on Sunday.

It's a funny old world... but it's also Friday. So here's a song to celebrate the US holiday and the alleged punk rock year zero from a guy that should need no introduction... along with the best band in the world. It included the late, great Chris Gaffney. Can you guess who it is yet? - without clicking the clip.
