STOP THE MADNESS! Yeah, I can never seem to go a year without BONE MACHINE running through my head all week for at least a week.
PIXIIES rule, man.
Burma v Fuegos? Del Fuegos always had better looking girlfriends. Plus, Burma can't play their instruments. Kind of like a dumbed down version of the SEX PISTOLS who tried passing themseves as artists like SONIC YOUTH.

Lifeboat!
Lou Miami!
The Flies?

By the way, anyone know how I can get anything by these great, late Boston bands on CD?

Oh please. The Del Fuegos? Perfectly nice guys, I bet, but hardly visionaries or boundry-troublers.

MISSION OF BURMA WINS HANDS DOWN!!!

Alex,
Have you been drinking from the toilet again? What do you mean MISSION OF BURMA WINS HANDS DOWN? Howw are they visionaries? How are they boundry troublers? There were art rockers before them. There were noise makers before them. There were losers who couldn't write songs that were loved by college radio listers before them. The best thing about BURMA before their geriatric comeback was that they only produced 20 or so odd songs. Their myth grew because they died as a band young before starting to get really ridiculous. Now that they are out and about trying gather as much cash as they can before people realize they aren't as hot as their hype one can see them evolve into the lame ass band they really are.

You leave my toilet-drinking habits out of this, Kid!

Say what you want against the `Burma, but it's all moot. However well-meaning they might've been, the Del Fuegos were bog-standard and boring. Moreover, their lead singer now makes children's music. At least no one formerly in the ranks of Mission of Burma provides the soundtrack for the construction of baloon animals.

Alex,

Oh yeah... Burma Man Roger Miller constructs ridiculous soundtracks for soundtracks your grandmother wouldn't see for free!

― KID WHISKEY, Friday, 3 January 2003 01:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm assuming you mean "films."

Whatever. The bottom line is this: The Del Fuegos were simply a yawnsome bar band and a third-rate Replacements.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 3 January 2003 01:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah... you got me on that typo! You are basically right with the Del Fuegos... However, I did have a lot of fun at their shows.... I don't think they were anywhere as good as the REPLACEMENTS (one of my top ten bands) but were fun to watch anyway!
Peace
