Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread
Speaking of Morrissey, he's apparently bought the masters of his unreleased Bonfire of Teenagers LP from Capitol. He also has the unreleased Without Music the World Dies hanging out in limbo.

Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread
So I've been reading—or trying to read—Morrissey's memoir. Holy shit, it is terrible. It reminds me of what Truman Capote supposedly said about On the Road : This isn't writing, it's typing. It's like an excited kid telling you about their day, just a rush of sentences spoken without a breath. Yes,...

Re: Totally Radical! The All Encompassing Thread of 80s Awesomeness
This one almost doesn't make it as it was released in 1989, but I love this song.

Re: Totally Radical! The All Encompassing Thread of 80s Awesomeness
How does something like this even get made? This song came out in 1982. I get that hip hop had not really exploded, yet, but still.

Re: Totally Radical! The All Encompassing Thread of 80s Awesomeness
Just to ease Revbob's mind. We weren't all sipping drinks at Club Tropicana. Great songs from the 80s. I didn't get the reference and fuck you Doc for exposing me to it, even if it was just that thumbnail and another reminder of what sucked about the 80s. I think perhaps what makes the bad 80s musi...

Just to ease Revbob's mind. We weren't all sipping drinks at Club Tropicana. In case revbob doesn't get the reference (tho he should—he's just about the biggest fan of The Whams that I know): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYX0sjP6Za8 Ouch. There are far worse 80s offenders than Wham, but this is ...

Re: Totally Radical! The All Encompassing Thread of 80s Awesomeness
I know this probably isn't the right thread for this, but I watched a short documentary on Duran Duran and it was kinda okay. They were a huge part of the 80s and had some tasty tunes. They came across as very likable, personable, down to earth guys who are still making music. It's totally the righ...

Re: Totally Radical! The All Encompassing Thread of 80s Awesomeness
I went down an 80's TV rabbit hole on Wikipedia last night. For every iconic show like Cheers, there were 10 other complete duds. It's interesting how many series didn't last a single season. Here are a couple of lowlights I dug up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWTnCHzhfgg The Concrete Cowboys st...

This is pretty great. I remember watching the actual Davey and Goliath in Sunday School.

Re: Totally Radical! The All Encompassing Thread of 80s Awesomeness
I just watched the new Netflix documentary about the making of the We Are the World single. While I applaud the effort and intent, it's a pretty dreadful song. It was recorded the night of the 1985 American Music Awards, and when they showed a few clips of the awards show, I was surprised to see th...

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Thoughts on this year's rock hall inductees: Mary J Blige - solid pick. She helped change the landscape of R&B in the 1990s and her influence continues to be felt. Jimmy Buffett - he created a genre and then kept repeating it for decades. Maybe a "legacy" pick because he just croaked. Cher - meh. S...
