If Music Could Talk

Cool. At least they didn’t promote any Mick songs.

Music biopics are all god awful, but these abysmal but even those low standards.

Here are a couple of reviews (Sounds and Melody Maker) I thought Id drop into the thread for archival sake.

Thanks for posting! I love reading contemporaneous stuff. Glad Spirit has always kind of sucked.

If back-to-basics was simply guilt over becoming a popular band, that was Bernie nurturing it all. Mick was the musical director and I think he could have persuaded that that was the way forward if Bernie isn't there promoting division. I've read some that Joe had some internalized guilt around pop...

This was the top of my street the other night. A tornado touched down in my neighborhood. Thankfully, all of the dogs (and humans) were unharmed. It was nuts.

Oh damn, that's scary. Does that ever happen in your area? How was VH Jr? (I know he's like 28 now, but still).

Jesus is merciful. All of those videos are unavailable in Canada.

That seems...counterintuitive.

Not if you believe Jesus loves those who deserve it.

I just mean that Rush is your greatest export yet unavailable in your own country???

I had a memory of the Rush comp I bought in college having a music video collection and there being some terrible in the mix. I tried to find the video, but it turns out all Rush videos are horribly bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMSFqXGZ5TQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQgu0MpnKq8 https://...

Thoughts on Spruce Spanglemaker’s appearance on Curb? It was a pretty meh episode, imo, and I don’t blame him for that, but he didn’t seem very comfortable playing himself. Wooden.

Haven't seen it, but I wouldn't be surprised since he doesn't have any acting experience.

Does that Primitive Radio Gods song count as a blues remix?

I'm pretty okay with everything as it occurred, even CTC since it's such a fascinating shit show. However, a full band album hot on the heels of the May 1984 tour would have been nice. Also an alternate history when they started doing worthwhile archival releases would have been great including my l...

Hello,

RIP, Lou Gosset - good actor, first black Oscar winner.

He's been in so much stuff, but I think i've only ever seen him in Jaws 3D.

A belated fuck you to Joe Leiberman, VP candidate in 2000. I know him as the guy that thought the baby blue gun in Lethal Enforcers was a bad influence:


Oh yeah, he killed the public option in Obamacare too.

I started skimming my old write ups of 80s KISS and god damn, I can't remember how almost any of these songs go. And I spent a decent amount of time with them too. I deemed the Beach Boys output at the time to be worst, but it is certainly more memorable. The brain has a way of protecting us from t...
