I could see that. It's the precocious sixteen year-olds' album, for sure, maybe even fourteen. It's definitely a timeless set of tunes for a certain age. I can't really listen to it too much anymore, that's for sure. It had its moment.
No, they really weren't. I'd become sort of the hub of that stuff for my friends back then. They got me into other things. We were pretty diverse back then. I had a love of nineties punk and mid-sixties rock going on. I think I saw the box set of Zombies Heaven and its beautiful cover, and I remembered how good the songs were from listening to oldies stations in my youth, so I purchased it. I remember Alec Paolo and Tom Petty wrote the liner notes and introduction, respectively. Just a well-done set, IMHO.
there are several Taylor Brothers jokes which could follow, but i'm the only one old enuff to get em....
last show I saw at the i-beam was screamin' jay hawkins... with our old buddy cintra! she was flirting up a storm with screamin' jay from the floor. had extra effect for two reasons- A: cintra. part deux: there was literally nobody else there... we were the only people in attendance (maybe somebody at the bar). he pretty much just performed for her- it was fantastic.I saw them at the old I-Beam on Haight Street in 1983.
he & Liv both poached em out of the fryer, whether they wanted to be eaten yet or not
I’ve tried to mostly pick contemporary music - for the time - that I listened to to help narrow it down, but you’re interpretation is correct.
I messed that up right out of the gate with a Captain Kangaroo record that came out eight years earlier.
The I-Beam was a great place to dance and hang out but it wasn't so good for live music. The stage was low since it normally served as a dance platform for extroverts. The sound bounced off the wall with the video screens and went up to the high ceiling to get lost. Still miss it though.
Mr Green Jeans was a solid straight man, but Mr. Moose, with his knock-knock jokes and ping pong ball punch lines was hack.
I was a big little fan of Mister Moose's mayhem.
I think he meant to say Alice Donut (the band) liver Henry Moore?
the whole time. Did not click at all, and I was hesitant to listen to it much any more. It was sort of a sad moment in my musical arc. Then comes the tour for the album, my now wife and I go to a few shows, and instantly when I heard those songs live, I was in love all over again. I still love the album now, but there was something about hearing them perform them, having more guitar sound, etc.. that really blew me away. For those reasons, what I came up with was:
I was twenty-eight or so when Kid A was my album, and Amnesiac may well be my thirty year-old one, but I don't recall the years all that well anymore.
you were supposed to pick Fake Plastic Trees so i could exclaim "That's a 25 year old song!" here on 5-10-20 Comedy Night. Purel the vealThis is going to be a bit of a cheat, but it's on spotify, so it counts - dammit!! Now it's time for some Radiohead. I was late to the game, not so much in terms of owning CDs, but more in terms of falling in love. I had Pablo, I vividly remember having The Bends, but something clicked later with OK and it was about '98 that I was listening to that over and over. Then came Kid A. I remember there was an "album realease" on what I believe was a channel on DirecTV. Another big RH fan and I sat down to listen and were basically
25 year old song: Radiohead - Morning Bell (live)
My musical trajectory, strangely, did not happen in the pre-specified years. That's why it will be wonderful to go back through and get our two freebies that we get because we haven't turned fifty yet. I think they'll have to be used wisely. Or, heck, I can just list the years in chronology and what was formative for me. Nobody has to read; nobody gonna break a' my stride (a shout out to tim's New Wave Thousand)
I'm realizing in most drafts I lean haaaaaaaaaaaard into bands from my age 20-27 years.
If this is Finn, I have no doubt he's namechecking these bands
Forgot about those.
He name-checked Dillinger Four on Stay Positive during "Constructive Summer." Doublewhiskeycokenoice makes a conspicuous appearance in the lyrics.
