Love and Rockets - Haunted When The Minutes Drag

Daniel Ash! Yeah! I'm eventually I'm going to post that bumble bee vid!

Iggy Pop - Lust For Life

This song is the background music for cruise ship vacations and at first you think it's ironic, but when you think harder...it makes perfect sense.

Same for the Buzzcocks being used in an AARP ad LOL!

Babes in Toyland - Ripe

I saw BiT at Lounge Ax back in the day. I didn't know anything about them at the time, a friend dragged out to the show!

Concrete Blonde - Caroline

Bloodletting is when they really blew up. I saw them a couple times right before then when their second album Free was release and was really impressed. I still don't think Johnette ever got the credit she was due as a singer or as a song writer. Being a young person who was quite moody at the time, this was one of my favorite songs.

Ok...so first there's this garage rock band called Green River they put out a record on Sub Pop. The members include Stone Gossard, Jeff Amendt, and Mark Arm. Jeff and Stone want to form a more conventional band and Mark wants to keep things underground. So J and S form Mother Love Bone and Mark goes further in the other direction and starts Mudhoney named after an old Russ Meyer film. Sounding like an old Stooges record that someone left in the rain, Mudhoney helps lay the foundation for grunge rock. MLB ends after singer Andrew Wood passes away, but they bounce back as Pearl Jam. If you watch the movie Singles, at one point the male love interest is wearing a t-shirt that says Superfuzz Bigmuff which is the name of MD's first ep named after their effects pedals

John Lydon went to Seattle!

I literally have an old VHS tape from 20 yrs ago that has this performance on it. It's mostly random music vids and cartoons (Animainics, Looney Tunes,Tiny Toons). Here's No Doubt doing Bad Brain's "Sailing On"



that same tape has Matt Sweet and Indigo Girl's doing Neil Young ( which I should post on the classic rock thread).

Here's the original by Bad Brains

At the end of the above No Doubt vid, guitarist Tom starts to play the opening chords of a Rancid song. Here's that song

That's really cool. I'd have loved to have seen both of them! I think Concrete Blonde is underrated.

"Cortez The Killer", right?

JBTV practically warrants a thread of it's own. Here's The Flaming Lips back before Ronald quit and Wayne started making a concerted effort to bum me out...

"Cortez The Killer", right?

That's the one!
