Could a Canadian help me parse the tam-as-comedy-signifier? Or am I overfitting connections between D&TS, BN Ladies and Nardwuar?

Oi! and crust punk were so much more popular than anyone wanted to admit. Nice to see GG at #6 in the hipster chart though.

Amazing snapshot in time. Reminds me of trying to gym class that winter as the teacher tried to get us to properly rotate nine-person vollyball teams. Is this from Sounds? How long did/could the rockabilly chart last I wonder. "Nutbush City Limits" as a metal standard. I guess the New Pop New Romantics erased all that oi and crust a few months later.

that american albums list is some serious 8th grade flashback stuff. its a lot of what kids were listening to where i was. i had bought kings of the wild frontier in 1980 so i was already well on my way to becoming whatever the hell i became. new wave/punk/metal fan of the 80s.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 16:10 (four months ago) link
1980 was that weird year where my favorite bands were judas priest, the kinks, and adam & the ants.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 16:11 (four months ago) link
yeah the american lists are so "what i talk about when i am talking about the 80s."
it was utterly immersive omnipresent and hard to avoid. there's like 20 other charts posted above and there were like 8 ppl hearing that lol.

Great post, Scott. Kinda wild that the Geordie cover of Ike and Tina would end up being an AC/DC audition around this same time. Wild to see the Misunderstood archival album in the indie chart.

i actually read that book-length story of the Misunderstood that Mike Stax wrote for Ugly Things magazine. it could be a slog but the Peel stuff was always interesting.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 16:44 (four months ago) link
Weird thing was that IIRC there was still one last part of that story to go about what happened after the band fell apart and I don't think that ever got published?
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 17:11 (four months ago) link
i don't remember. i thought it went on to Juicy Lucy and the move to England and all that and someone dropping out and going to India...? its all a blur. that thing was very very long.

Trouser Press was hot on the Windbreakers, but the one record I bought never warranted a second listen. I think I mentally file them with Dwight Twilley: meat and potatoes, straight ahead, workmanlike rock that I don't get what the big deal is.

i picked up a copy of the cd reissue on discogs and the guy wrote back asking me how come he's sold three in the past week. he said he got the cassette in the 80s and loved it and got the nod from the artist that he could reissue it so he did. i told him there's a discussion group called ilm and gave him a link. he was, like, that's a discussion?!
