3:01 Pick Me Up: The Honeycombs

Let’s face it: 3 p.m. is the cruellest time of the workday. The morning latte has worn off, and the post-lunch crash has you staggering around like an extra from a George A. Romero flick. That’s why, each weekday at 3:01 p.m., we present you with a video hand-picked to kick-start your heart. If the following clip doesn’t bring you temporarily back to life and help get you through the rest of the afternoon, chances are you’re dead inside.

Three years after he produced this classic (and very innovative) floorboard stomper, legendary producer Joe Meek blew his landlady’s head off with a shotgun. Then he committed suicide. We only bring this up because it’s Insane Violent Murder week here on planet Earth, and we don’t see why it shouldn’t have a decent soundtrack.

You say:
"legendary producer Joe Meek blew his landlady’s head off with a shotgun. Then he committed suicide."
You are incorrect.
Joe shot his landlady Mrs Violet Shenton in the back, re-loaded the single barrel shotgun and then blew his own head off.
