Fun with guitars, back before Sonic Youth were dull.

When Heartbeat City was released I started to lose interest in The Cars, but loved the last track. I remember my copy of the LP listed the song as "Jacki"

I loved that album something fierce back in the day, but it hasn't aged well unfortunately. I pestered the owner of my my local record store, a Sam the Record <an, and he eventually gave me the store's giant promo poster for the album.

Funny pre song chat.

Hello,

I loved the Sam the Record Man shop in Montreal. There was probably more than one but I recall the one I used to visit on treks to Montreal. I'm guessing Sam passed away a few years ago.

Hello again.

According to Wikipedia, the franchise officially went splat in 2007, but there's an independent store here in Ontario that has kept the name. One thing I liked about my Sam was that, while he only stocked Top 40 and country (given the customer base in a small town), he was always happy to do special orders. He couldn't get in imports, but he was the guy who ordered in for me PiL's Second Edition once I started getting more adventurous.

Funny pre song chat.

Oh, aye. Screamingly funny. And to top it off a killer version of one of BAD's greatest songs. I've sent this vid to many peeps over the last couple years. What a (seemingly) effortless performance Mick gives...

My what a corny but heart-in-the-right-place video (especially for '91). And one of Johnny Marr's best post-Smiths tunes—his guitar is especially identifiable.

I like Billy Bragg's music. Loved his first four albums, especially Talking to the Taxman. Worlers Playtime was good but imo Don't Try This At Home was his peak with a full band on most of the tracks. Sexuality is great, that one got a lot of airplay on alternative stations and college radio.

I remember seeing this video on MTV back when they used to play music videos. How did that model go to hell? Anyway I recall thinking the same as you.

I blame Generation Hoy. Because of the timing and convenience of blaming Hoy (or Flex or Kory).

Just curious, I don't recognize a (famous?) model in the video, Which one is it?

I made that mistake at first, too, and was going to break some long overdue bad news to revbob about Kirsty MacColl. But he was talking about MTV's programming model—going from playing music videos to whatever the hell it does now.

Man, but I loves me this album.

Thanks for the clarification. Kirsty (RIP) was the only person (besides Mr. Bragg) I recognized.
