Gary Numan & Tubeway Army performing "Down In The Park" live on Old Grey Whistle Test, 1979:

I don't believe there's been a You Tube thread dedicated to this kind of stuff before, but I remember DJ Martian had some great ideas along these lines awhile back. I think he posted them to a non-You Tube thread, though.

Moving a bit too dangerously into pop territory, but really very "alternative" for where they came from (i.e. here in the USA). Introducing the one hit by the only American New Romantic group to ever go anywhere (even if it was only temporary), "Romanticide" by Combo Audio:

But yes Dan by all means, I was quite happy with the selection there. Fantastic, man. Please bury me in the post punk new wave graveyard.

Phoenix I traded a few CD's with Mr. NWO. Not too many though.

Good Warlock of the West (Bimble...), Sunday, 7 January 2007 07:51 (nineteen years ago)

I've never heard of Combo Audio but I know another U.S. band with "Combo" in the title that seemed pretty good. Does that count? Hahaha.

"You mean they did more than that one song?" Yes, Virginia, here's The Vapors with "Jimmie Jones":

(xpost) :) I had to include Eyeless In Gaza. HAD to. And you traded some CDs with Rubellan? Or the guy who runs the NWO? Oh, and it's surprising to me that you hadn't heard of Combo Audio before, but I guess that's only because I've personally been aware of at least that one song since the mid '90s.

Fun Boy Three (w/ Bananarama, The Swinging Laurels, and a cast of hundreds apparently), "The Telephone Always Rings" (video directed by Midge Ure, featuring all manner of familiar faces)

OH, his name is Mike Paulsen. Can't forget. What did he send you?

Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Sunday, 7 January 2007 08:04 (nineteen years ago)

The Swinging Laurels? The Swinging Laurels? Really? My mouth is agape in awe.

DIRECTED by Midge Ure? What do you mean, he tried his hand at directing? Crazy.

Although I do want to say one thing: that song he did with Mick Karn, what is it? "After A Fashion"? I can't STAND that thing. No offense meant to either of them.

Good Warlock of the West (Bimble...), Sunday, 7 January 2007 08:06 (nineteen years ago)

You've got to be kidding me. You've heard of The Swinging Laurels before?? Anyway, yes, they were the ones who provided the brass instrumentation on this song and three of them are shown on the video. This is getting to be, like, weird. And YES, directed by Midge Ure, which is why the very same Steve Strange puppet from the "Mind Of A Toy" video was also evident in this particular video. And -- eh, it's okay. You can't like everything someone does, not even if the two are certifiable geniuses. (Yes, yes, some of you may disagree, esp when it comes to Mr. Ure.)

And yes, even speaking as a huge PIL fan, I had no idea what the hell they would do with "Careering" on the Old Grey Whistle Test. That is the craziest thing I've ever heard, I think. They completely mutated that song into something else unlike any other post punk thing I've ever heard.

Holy crap, PiL's performance of "Careering" on the Old Grey Whistle Test? RULES. I'm serious. Did you know that it was that chaotic mime performance PiL did at around the same time on "American Bandstand" that got me to purchasing Second Edition in the first place? It was right around the time VH1 were airing reruns of AB episodes and I remember very well being shocked when I heard they were going to be on that program and then transfixed as the performance took place. One key memory from that that I will always have from it was having that New Wave boy with all those buttons trying gamely to attract John Lydon's attention while he did his robotic dance. I wonder where he is now. Anyway, back to OGWT -- that was SUPERB. I'm adding it to my favorites now.

Re: XTC -- this guy has a whole concert chopped up in his videos (lots of Drums and Wires stuff), and here's "Scissor Man" --

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTCDB8xhkh8

-- and good lord, all of them are really exciting, especially in terms of being reminded how good these guys were in terms of instrumental skill. It's even better if you know these songs well: e.g., above and beyond Dave Gregory's incredible lead on "Scissor Man," Colin and Andy start throwing in vocal and guitar harmonies that aren't on the recorded version. Same goes for D.G.'s lead embellishments on "Helicopter."

Also about XTC - yeah they really blew my mind last night - there are quite a few XTC live videos on YouTube. And I confess, even though it was not post-punk at all, the one that moved me the most was "King For A Day" live on David Letterman 1989.

And yeah the PIL American Bandstand thing..."Poptones" followed by "Careering" - I haven't watched that in a year or two but looking at it again I mean how is it that no one stopped him/them? It's so surreal. He invites all the kids up into the audience, refuses to mime the words but runs around with a great big smile on his face...and then there's the problem of the music, which couldn't really be less commercial or family-friendly...Isn't "Poptones" about getting raped in the woods? How did some American TV producer allow them to get away with all that? You really expect the authorities to stop it at any time! How many parents heard their kids watching that and said "Turn down that racket!!!"

Bimbler: Apparently Dick Clark really liked that PiL performance, so much so that he ranked it as one of the top ten moments in AB history. Combine that with his extremely lengthy professional partnership history with ABC and his overall reputation as one of America's beloved personalities and I'm sure his approval quashed any possibly nervous producer's/programmer's ideas of editing out or censuring. Plus, the AB kids appeared to be having a great time during at least the "Careering" segment, when they were all invited back to the dance floor to dance. As for how they got on the program in the first place: I don't know. Maybe the AB kids had some input on what got put on the show; if so, perhaps that New Wave boy requested PiL. It was apparent he was a fan. And maybe Dick Clark allowed it because he wanted to have the program stay relevant. That program covered a huge variety of musical artists; Squeeze, Devo, and the Talking Heads also appeared on the program.

Back to videos. OH, and you guys should check out everything Rubellan carries. Really impressive list.

xhuxk (xheddy), Monday, 8 January 2007 02:00 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, I'm up for sampling anything on this thread. I loved Cabaret Voltaire's "Nag Nag Nag" and I confess to only having been aware of their song "Sensoria" before today. And Flash & the Pan are totally okay in my book. I haven't heard "Hey St. Peter" since 2003 so I should check that video out.

Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Monday, 8 January 2007 02:02 (nineteen years ago)

Oh wow, cool, RStrathfield uploaded the "Hey St. Peter" video. He too has a lot of great New Wave videos, predominantly from Australia/New Zealand. And color me surprised that that song's from 1976! I had no idea! It sounds years ahead of its time. I would've guessed maybe 1980 - 1981 for that song's origin. The video makes me want to listen to the song some more again.

"Passion Puppets - Feet of Clay"

all the passion puppets stuff on youtube is from some recent live thing. i would kill for an era-appropriate "like dust". one of my fave songs ever. (i mean, i own the album, but still...)

scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 8 January 2007 03:12 (nineteen years ago)

OH MY GAWD. That Haysi Fantayzee clip. I made a comment on it five months ago: "The camera action when the video zooms in on at first the planet, then that aerial picture of London, and then the top of the chessboard, and the camera rotates back to a normal position, is still one of my five favorite moments in a music video EVER. And I love this song dearly, yes I do. And I imagine virtually every teenaged boy in the early '80s had a crush on this girl. Heh." But yeah, I first saw it on VH1's "The Big '80s" and it was one of THE highlights of that program for me. LOVE THAT.

Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 8 January 2007 03:20 (nineteen years ago)

You know, for an embarrassingly long time I was confused between EBN-OZN's "AEIOU Sometimes Y" and Freeez's "AEIOU". I knew those were two separate songs, but I had a hard time remembering which song was which. Funny how those two songs centered on the vowels were released at about the same time. But yeah, it is SO ace to have "AEIOU Sometimes Y" on here. This is one of the first New Wave songs I was ever aware of, which is why I suppose I was so confused -- when you're thirteen things confuse you more easily -- so this is kinda getting back to my NW roots. And they did also play this on the same local disco programs that Freeez's song appeared on. RIP Ned Liben.

Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Monday, 8 January 2007 04:09 (nineteen years ago)

And GO4 just RULE anyway. They do. And I'm a big defender of Jon King's vocals. Another of my favorite artists, Language, utilized Jon King's sister Debbie on backup vocals; the frontman of that group, Steven Hale, was a member of a pre-Language group that featured Debbie on lead vocals and with a single produced by Jon King. So interesting link there. OH, and I think you'd LOVE The Very Dab, Bimbler, as it's more post-punk. It's actually kinda dark IMO, though maybe that's because two of the songs on it are about murder ("Fingerprince" and "Wet Job").

Oh yes, Bimbler, you should give The Very Dab a try. You're welcome re: Freeez. And as for Language -- check your inbox in thirty minutes, hon.

Aw, I just looked up information on Billy Rancher and the Unreal Gods and AW, Billy Rancher died in 1986 from lymphoma at the unrealistically young age of 29. Aw. And yes, that song is FANASTIC and if American tastes had been more refined in the '80s this band would have been MASSIVE from coast to coast. Thanks for sharing this.

Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 01:43 (nineteen years ago)

yeah they was pretty huge in the pdx, a lot of people were really sad about him. glad you enjoyed it sista!

Haikunym (Haikunym), Wednesday, 10 January 2007 01:46 (nineteen years ago)

Beth: Grace Jones is IMO more New Wave than Queen were/are. I view Queen as more of a glam rock group, thus immune to my "ew '70s rock group" viewpoint. I am SO going to have to check out these new links. This thread is, IMO, the real "Coolest music-related stuff from YouTube" thread.

And Haikunym, I definitely enjoyed that clip. Thanks for that. I'm definitely tracking down some Billy Rancher and the Unreal Gods LPs now.

Grace Jones is too cool for words, Beth. I actually watched A View To A Kill (not liking Bond movies but deciding on this one because of who wrote the theme tune LIKE THAT'S A SURPRISE TO ANYONE) through the end because of Jones's costarring turn in the film.

Ooh, Joe Jackson. I love that song. Me clickie.

OMG, does Junior's "Mama Used To Say" count here?? *squeal* Another Language connection -- Bob Carter, who produced that single and I believe played the keyboards too, was the keyboards player and original producer for that Language project (asked by Mr. Hale to join because of his work with Junior, actually), until the record company (A&M) sorta demanded a poppier production, at which point Alan Shacklock was brought in and Carter was put back as "just" the keyboardist.

I thought I was alone there, but thank you JFJ for making me feel I've at last got a compatriot in the whole "Hey, GO4 made some pretty f***ing awesome songs during that era, man" frame of mind.

Well, Ian Dury and John Lydon both had debilitating childhood illnesses in common, so one can expect a shared sort of stiffness in adulthood. Though I haven't yet watched the video to see just how similar those movements are.

Collardio, break it up into ten videos at a time. That way you get to watch all of them eventually.

well then no wonder you don't know if they "predicted" the punk movement -- either they were making fun of a genre that didn't exist yet, or faux-glam and punk are not as far away from each other as you think...either way, you need to check out their first couple of records!

brightscreamer (brightscreamer), Sunday, 14 January 2007 01:33 (nineteen years ago)

OH YES, THE SWINGERS. I have to post two videos relating to the band featuring the crazy Phil Judd (the ex-Split Enz guy):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vcaNcmfHtY
"Counting The Beat", which is so incredibly catchy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ6vwiEUMIM
OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE THIS VIDEO: "It Ain't What You Dance, It's The Way You Dance It", which is one of my favorite songs and one of the songs I cannot get enough of. This song is A LOT of fun to sing along with.

And I'm sorry I missed out on that Industry thread. It would have been so cool to participate in. They are one of my favorite groups and it's so neat to know that little Jon Carin is doing really, really well these days.

Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:19 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, man. The searching for threads here is horrible. I'm fed up with looking for that Industry thread. I already spent a considerable amount of time looking for the Simply Red thread I started a few months ago (I'm a big fan of their first album Picture Book). I welcome anyone to come along and be a smart arse and say essentially "Oh! Bimble you're so stupid it's so easy - can't you figure it out? Here are the threads you looked so hard for. I can find them easily and hee hee! That must mean I'm way cooler than you! And really, you're just not cool anyway, in fact we've decided you're not with the 'in crowd' of ILX..."

Because I know that is exactly what will happen. If people need that shit to feel special in their lives then you know, they're welcome to it. I'll just bow out and put on my headphones and play PIL or something. I thought this was a music board, not a place to assert one's elitist superiority. But since I keep getting looked down the nose at by snobby people here, that must mean I'm threateningly cool in my own right, eh? That's the way I see it anyway.

So where are those damn threads then?

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Sunday, 14 January 2007 03:46 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry end of rant. On with the music, as always:

The Blue Nile - Tinseltown In The Rain:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhiQ-a8CkPY

I shall have to get more Swingers, Phoenix. I knew about those videos you posted, I just didn't mention them. If I could have an album of them, that would just be lovely about now. I found their discography online, too.

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Sunday, 14 January 2007 03:55 (nineteen years ago)

Bimbler, I don't think anyone should take you to task for not being able to find what you want on the search page. Google can be shit when it comes to searching within a particular site for something. And if someone's going to give you that much attitude just for a little tiny search problem, they'd reveal their loserdom, don't you think? Have you been having problems here in the first place?

The Blue Nile is sweet. Thanks for the linkage. And I had to link those two videos because I *heart* those songs and thought it'd be nice to highlight them.

Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Sunday, 14 January 2007 04:47 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, that Zoogz Rift thing Ellison posted is way cool. The vocals on that remind me of one of my favourite post punk bands, the Spherical Objects from Manchester. They are far too obscure to be on You Tube, though. :(

Phoenix how are you tonight? I've got too much music to listen to and even Ultravox videos where Peter Saville is explaining how he designed their sleeves, only his hair looks so pitifully 80's! I mean you really feel sorry for how dated that man's hair is in this documentary thing I've got.

so...we already posted Ultravox on this thread didn't we? Or did we? Holy shit I don't think we have. I'll leave the honors to you.

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Sunday, 14 January 2007 05:34 (nineteen years ago)

Anything to stop me playing that Tubes video again. I mean I really have overdosed on that. I must move on. Someday. It has to stop.

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Sunday, 14 January 2007 05:34 (nineteen years ago)

I think I'm just going to play Kate Bush's first album on vinyl, now. I should get off this board for awhile.

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Sunday, 14 January 2007 05:38 (nineteen years ago)

Hi Bimbler! I'm doing pretty decently tonight, thanks. I'm just flitting about here and there as my attentions are pulled numerous places. How about you? I love having too much music to get into. It makes life feel livelier. I know, I have to get a life. OMG, I have to see that Peter Saville footage. I love '80s stylings, so maybe I'd be, like, "Dude looks cool, what are you talking about?" I'm going to have to track down again some Midge Ure interview footage on ver YouTube -- the guy's actually quite funny in a self-deprecating way. And he has a sexy Scottish accent to boot. *laugh* Yes, yes, it's always about the hormones with me. ;) Anyway, here you go....

THE ULTRAVOX SPECIAL:

"Hiroshima Mon Amour", back during the band's post-punk days

God, so much new stuff to check out, thanks guys.

But I must confess I'm on a real goth trip tonight. The kind of stuff I've been playing isn't on You Tube, I'm sorry. Death In June "The Calling"...the first two Fra Lippo Lippi albums...they were from Norway (does anyone know them??? I haven't listened to them in over 20 years, their earlier stuff was very Joy Division/Crispy Ambulance/Factory territory...)

Did I mention Death In June - "Rain of Despair"? Now that is some funky ass dance music!!!

Anyway special shout out to Tim for "Only The Stones Remain", and I am definitely going to check out that Human Switchboard soon. As soon as I can stop shaking my arse to Death In June's Rain of Despair.

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Sunday, 14 January 2007 07:58 (nineteen years ago)

No I'm sorry there's no substitute for Death In June's "Nada!" album...forget it. Atmospheric gloom & doom with electronic dance music, what else could you ask for? Accept no substitutes, for they recycled that material again and again for years.

Anyway I'm off topic again. I promise I will find a new You Tube thing to post very soon.

Only please, let's not bring up Sisters of Mercy. Please. I just don't think they sound near as good now as they did then. They've not dated well. Just my opinion.

This band Vision posted by Scott - do they have albums? I would defnitely like to hear more of them. Also Krisma get mega bonus points just for the fact that they are so WEIRD!

However now I am still playing Fra Lippo Lippi with quiet piano to boot. They were incredible before a major label corrupted them. This album I'm playing now (with spare piano, because Skot loves Eluvium) is called "Small Mercies".

Christ if you can't find it on SxxxK then I shall have to rip it from vinyl myself. I love gloomy doomy new wave, folks. Plesae send me all your gloomy doomy new wave stuff I love it. I NEED the gloomy doomy stuff, please send it to me. By email if necessary. Thanks.

Bim: re the PIL Bandstand thing...

Apparently, they arrived as surly punks, moaning and swearing, but the guy had said "look, don't threaten me! If you want to do something, just ask and as long as it's not putting anyone in danger, we should be able to do it"

Which was why he seemed so happy between the two songs.

See, what was the alternative? They were miming something fairly unmimeable, and even if they could have, it would have made a fairly boring spectacle. As it was, veryone danced to the danceable beat, the band enjoyed it and the vibe was umm chilled out to say the least.

A shame it took nearly 30 years after the event for me to actually see it properly, but hooray for seeing it now.

A couple of faves of mine (perhaps stretching the genre a little, but they're early 80s):

Cocteau Twins, supporting Killing Joke live in 1982 - "Alas Dies Laughing" and "Wax & Wane". Recommended for the sight of punk Liz in leather mini and fishnet stockings alone.

The Wolfhounds - "Cruelty"

My god, thanks for that one btw Ice Cream! I havent heard that song in YEARS (lost the tape I had it on, dont have it on vinyl). So nice to hear that guy's voice again and NOT in Moonshake (tho I love Moonshake too).

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Monday, 15 January 2007 03:44 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah Trayce, the Death in June pickings on You Tube aren't so good. Most of them are recent concert material...there's one track from 1982 live, but the sound quality is so bad I'd be embarassed to post it here. I think I may just have to get their full length video "the Guilty Have No Pride" to scratch my itch.

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Monday, 15 January 2007 03:46 (nineteen years ago)

It's like a CD sized as a vinyl record! Weird!

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Monday, 15 January 2007 05:54 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, actually I was going to say...whoever posted that Icehouse one awhile back the self titled one, that was pretty good.

:). Maybe I should search to see if YouTube carry any of the videos from closer to the middle of the decade. I have "No Promises" and "Hey Little Girl" mpgs on my HD but I'd always assumed they were already uploaded, so perhaps I'm right.

I tried to get into the Mood a few years ago, just didn't work.

Aw. Could it be because they were very synthy and NuRo? I think if you're a hardcore NuRo maniac you'd get into The Mood. I think the test would probably be "Passion In Dark Rooms" -- if you can't get into that, then The Mood are very much not for you.

I really gotta sober up now and go to bed, you guys. This is it.

Aw, don't quit. Quitting's for quitters. ;) But yeah, I don't know where to begin on this thread anymore either.

But still I'm going to watch that Kajagoogoo video of course.

Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Monday, 15 January 2007 05:55 (nineteen years ago)

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Monday, 15 January 2007 06:01 (nineteen years ago)

No way. This surprises me in a very pleasant way. I thought White Feathers was pretty much a "hey, the chances of finding another fan of that album are pretty slim-to-none, bud" kind of album. :)

Its funny, I have so much of this stuff on old VCR tapes at home from when it was on telly to begin with. Its nice to see someone's digitsed them though (a lot of my tapes are in poor form now).

i thought fay ray would be up chuck's alley, but he refuses to tell me if he is a fan. he's probably looking for rare holly & the italians live footage.

Actually, I went to bed right after I posted Juice Newton and Dave Edmunds. But nope, believe it or not, I never even heard of Fay Ray before - I need to check those videos out. And I'd already checked for Holly and the Italians vids last week (after finding a copy of their album for $4 in Greenpoint last month!), but no such luck.

Fanny - I Love My Radio

Ha, this is cool! I just found a copy of the 12-inch for 50 cents in a thrift store in east Texas over Xmas week, and had finally gotten around to playing it yesterday! But the sleeve can't decide whether the song is called "I [Heart Symbol] My Radio" or "Midnight Radio"!

xhuxk (xheddy), Monday, 15 January 2007 13:14 (nineteen years ago)

this thread rocks so hard, purely for that brilliant Lorries video (i saw them supporting Killing Joke, and have to be honest, Joke was having a bad bad night and subsequently i came away believe the Lorries to be the far better band), and of course, the mighty mighty Shriekback.
2 videos i have never seen before, but both clips just drive home what was so great about them.
ta muchly.

mark e (mark e), Monday, 15 January 2007 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

But it is TAFFY, not Fanny! (I just searched for vids of Fanny's "Charity Ball," "Butter Boy," and "Hey Bulldog," but came up emptyhanded.) So here is Dimples D instead (the remix is from 1990, but the song originally came out in like 1983 or 1984 or so):

Okay, so the "Changing Minds" homemade video sucked. Sorry. The song, OTOH, rules.

Thank you for showing "Living By Numbers", JFJ. I hate the voiceover guy's pettiness. I feel all "shut up you cow" toward him. But I love seeing them in action. And Tony Mansfield was adorably dorky, don't you think? So cool to know he was the driving force behind Naked Eyes and "Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland".

Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 21:29 (nineteen years ago)


When I first saw the clip Mansfield reminded me of the singer from Typically Tropical on TOTP:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQXu0xk2nt0

JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:07 (nineteen years ago)

You mean because of the guitar strumming? I can see how that resemblance would be noted. Though the "Barbados" song is falling flat upon my ear canals. I wonder what was going to be next on that program....

I have a video clip of Duritti Column doing "Missing Boy", but not that dodgy handycam live festival one. Mine's a properly filmed concert that I assume went along with the "Domo Arigato" album, it is filmed in Japan in a big concert hall. I'd youtube it if I knew how.

Actually I saw Monitor recently on this blog I'm going to link to here simply because it has a MUCH better and more intimate version of the Suburban Lawns "Janitor" video than you can get on You Tube (have you seen this version Dan? Apparently they took it down off You Tube) - scroll down to the April 16 blog post:

I tend to think Monitor would have sounded better in the studio. I'll have to research their discography.

Also Sheila B. from Sheila B. & Devotion has a very nice tummy. But those poles they were holding while they danced...ridiculous!

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Thursday, 18 January 2007 04:08 (nineteen years ago)

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Thursday, 18 January 2007 04:18 (nineteen years ago)

Cerrone's "Supernature" is way cool too. Got to love those see through coloured drums! But what is the song about? It's kindof scary.

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Thursday, 18 January 2007 04:34 (nineteen years ago)

re: what supernature is about...I believe Morgan Geist was supposed to ask Cerrone exactly that question in a recent interview, so I guess, look for that.

The Factory stuff can be found easily on bootlegs of original Factory/Ikon VHS releases. I bought them on DVD at Kims in NY. The Crepuscule stuff is probably from the DVD released by LTM, which is probably worth buying.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 18 January 2007 07:19 (nineteen years ago)

what's really hot on that blog is the Plugz on New Wave Theater...I had that on mp3 from soulseek and always thought the opening with Peter Ivers introducing them just sounded so awesome.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 18 January 2007 07:27 (nineteen years ago)

Well apparently Supernature is about: "...experimenting on animals and the animals grow up to be partially human and they rampage through the countryside taking out their revenge for being deformed on the real humans."

So there you go, wonder what Dolly the sheep would have made of it?

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 21 January 2007 21:20 (eighteen years ago)

chuck,

i've mentioned the band STNNNG from mpls in the nu-pigfuck thread (and elsewhere)...anyway they do an awesome cover of "Manic Mechanic" by ZZ Top...usually live the band vamps the riff and their singer reads the Allmusic.com biography text for ZZ Top over the music at the end of the song.

Telex again, this time profoundly baffling the Eurovision Song Contest audience of 1980 with banks of knobs, deadpan delivery, minimal choreography and absolutely no orchestra & conductor whatsoever. It finished third. From the bottom.

Live Skull - "5-D"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=yaseyCgDLv8

Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Saturday, 27 January 2007 05:34 (eighteen years ago)

Live Skull's 5-D is in my top 10 songs of all time. The video is comprised of still photos shot by guitarist Mark C I think, similar work gracing the cover to the LP 5-D is on, Dusted. I taped that video off 120 Minutes, I think when it was new, and the song has stayed in my head since.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Saturday, 27 January 2007 05:58 (eighteen years ago)

Wow, I never knew there were any Live Skull songs with a girl singing on them. I admit that is an impressive song.

White Dopes on Punk (Bimble...), Saturday, 27 January 2007 06:07 (eighteen years ago)

Wow, I never knew there were any Live Skull songs with a girl singing on them. I admit that is an impressive song.

Haven't heard much Live Skull then! Marnie sings on tracks in the early days, then for their final 3 releases (Dusted, Positraction, Snuffer EP), ex Dangerous Birds/Uzi future Come vocalist Thalia Zedek took over vocal duties, and she's brilliant. Although 5-D is my favorite song, I think Positraction is a more consistently interesting album. It's a very psychedelic take on NYC noise-rock and is pretty wonderful.

Seriously you guys, this is mind-blowing. Thank you. Um, anyone know any great synthpop/New Pop type stuff that's been linked to recently? I can start with that.

RIP. :-( He dated Nina for a while I think.

Hahaha..."bumble" - I've never been called that before!

Thanks for the recommendations. I know several Shriekback albums but Jam Science isn't one of them.

Yeah, man. That's the spirit. I want every teenager to blare that song as loud as possible in protest of their parents. I hope the pavement on the street cracks with how loud it is.

I can't find a video for this, or even a full length stream, but if you go here, http://www.wastedtalentrecords.com/judys/albums/washarama.html and click on "Guyana Punch" you will hear something worth hearing. I violate this thread's premise.

james k polk, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 08:37 (sixteen years ago)

Thanks, George. Definitely not as good as early PIL, but an honourable mention. Does anyone have any early Replacements videos I can look up on You Tube?

Gothy McGoth (Bimble), Saturday, 28 February 2009 21:39 (sixteen years ago)

The B-52's video has really set a new standard, I think. That is probably the best thing I've ever seen on You Tube up to this point.

That Jun Togawa is hilarious. Look at that skirt! What the hell, she's wearing a backpack!

Sacriligiously Dead (Bimble), Sunday, 24 May 2009 10:02 (sixteen years ago)

I've never even heard of the X-Teens, I'm really impressed. I've heard of Sandii & The Sunsetz, though. I'm amazed how much that lady looks like Kate Bush. I like the music too. I'll try to track down more of these bands. Thanks ILXors! I <3 you.

Sacriligiously Dead (Bimble), Sunday, 24 May 2009 10:15 (sixteen years ago)

AAAAAAAH! David Sylvian recorded with Sandii & The Sunsetz????? OMG I am going to have an orgasm. Oh god. Oh god. What in the living hell.

Sacriligiously Dead (Bimble), Sunday, 24 May 2009 11:22 (sixteen years ago)

Bimble, thought you might get a kick out of the X-Teens. They were early-80s cult heroes in North Carolina. They put out a couple of singles & some albums produced by Don Dixon & Mitch Easter who of course went on to much greater fame producing REM's early work.

that's not my post, Sunday, 24 May 2009 15:52 (sixteen years ago)

BTW, Don Dixon did some great new wave / power pop as a performer in the early 80s. Search Praying Mantis & Skin Deep. Lots of similarities to Nick Lowe's early 80s work.
