The Flight Of The Conchords were complaining about the Hartford crowd as well.

nope

Yeah, I guess they are still back together, but they haven't done anything in a couple of years, have they?

Reading Heller's story about meeting unwound is amusing. When the guitarist for Pegboy was in Naked Raygun, I tried to talk to him after a show and he was a bit of a dick to me, curt and dismissive.

Polvo were freakin awesome.

Green Jelly is right behind them.

This is great. Unwound were totally underrated at the time even in the underground scene. Leaves is a fantastic and diverse album. One early influence that Heller skipped over is Nation Of Ulysses. Their early stuff seems a bit indebted to them, but they grew and became way more varied in their approach, making some…

I wouldn't know about the UK, I'm from the US, but Scary Monsters got to #12 and Ashes to Ashes and Scary Monsters were both played on FM radio a shit-ton. So it was a pretty big hit. Under Pressure was everywhere, it charted at 29, but it was on the radio a lot. So, Bowie might not have been as popular as he was from…

He was already a big star and he had huge hits in the 70's, particularly around the time of Young Americans. The title track, Fame and Golden Years all were on heavy AM radio rotation. He also had a lot of songs that were played on the more AOR FM radio stations, Changes, Space Oddity and Suffragette City, f'r…

Another motivation for Bowie was that the settlement with MainMan and Tony Defries ended at this time and Let's Dance was the first album in a few years that he could keep all of the money he made from it. Its a shitty album, especially as he'd had huge hits with Queen and Scary Monsters and didn't really need to do…

rayciss? wow, this whole paragraph is a big bunch of dumb mess.

"evocative"? Really? Evocative of what exactly? I've noticed this in Fox PR stuff before…they are dumbasses. Perhaps they mean the show will be evocative of a show that is actually provocative and not just dumb trolling with sexydressed ladies.

That Gang Of Four album is terrible and is properly forgotten. And you failed to mention the towering masterpiece of Perverted By Language, Tempo House. Another great overlooked 1983 record: Gun Club - Death Party.

This is exactly right. The plot problems in particular are what turn me off, I can watch one or two episodes, but then the plot holes and implausibilities stack up. Best example: the early episode where there are trying to keep the real estate agent out of the basement. its almost embarrassing to watch. That Walt can…

So great. A real mindblow when it popped up in 88. Nothing sounded like this before. Listening to it reminds you that rappers used to be writers, this song is so tightly constructed you could bounce a quarter on it. No one writes like this in hip hop anymore.

totally. The deluxe dvd is great.

The live concert from the "Born To Boogie" film is insanely great. Its amazing that teenyboppers were into that Stooge-oid slam and bam. Storming versions of every great song played through a massive stack of Orange amps.

Revolution Rock is kinda weak too.

as fan from as far back as the mid 80's, I respectfully disagree, but both of her stints in the band produced classic music. She's a great guitarist and a total riff monster.

Copeland is amazing, all of his solo albums are great. Can't wait to hear this one.
