Thanks. I'm sure it's the '94 one, unless I have The Magic Unicorn CD No One Has Ever Seen™. Because I don't. Still, $80? Wow.

Just to confirm, Discog is vinyl only, correct? Because I happen to have a promo CD copy of said Black Album, so, uh…

God, I love this band so much. During the last few years, power pop has seemed intent on devolving into the lamest, twee-est, most candy-ass, by-the-numbers, overproduced Radio Disney shit imaginable. This band has singlehandedly renewed my faith in the genre. "You Look Funny" is one of the best singles I've heard in

2008, I think.

The Jacksons were a family. The Monkees were a TV show programed by a network.

Wow, scope creep much? The title of the article isn't "The Great Unheralded Bands of the '60s." Of COURSE there's lot of great obscure music from the '60s. And '70s. And '80s. And '90s. And…

Sigh. The point of this article isn't to posit the Monkees as the true great band of the '60s or misunderstood genius, or to assert that they belong in the Holy '60s Canon™ with the Beatles, Stones, etc.

Damn, that is some hardcore Monkee's knowledge.

I think I just have the opposite take on everything he finds funny.

With much larger breasts.

It's probably a DUDE.

How You Met Your Mother?

And it was originally supposed to go in CRISSY FIELD? Seriously? That would be like plowing half of Central Park for the Martin Scorsese Prop Museum and Waterpark. I wonder if they meant it was supposed to go in The Presidio near Crissy Field.

Who?

"I don't want to fuck this guy anymore!"

Also, can we find somebody besides terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE comedians to feature in this…feature?

Fair enough—and Wikipedia seems to agree with you—but in the context of the album, and given the "kill the hippies" attitude of the early '80s punk scene, I think the scenario I presented is likely.

Well, the Descendants name-checked them somewhat ironically in that "Catalina" told the tale of a stressed-out yuppie ex-hippie sailing to Catalina and kind of losing his shit when things go wrong.

Oh god, such a bummer. Hope it turns out to be a false alarm. (It won't.)

Never visit Hawaii, dude—EVERY song is "Rude."
