The Rapture > Gang of Four > APB

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 29 May 2003 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Is this the same APB I'm thinking of? Surprised anyone else has even heard of them/remembers them.

― ArfArf, Thursday, 29 May 2003 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

APB as in slightly geeky Scottish funkateers...their biggest single "Shoot You Down" ("ahhhh woood lyke ta shyoooot ye doooooon!")

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 29 May 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Yep, same ones. As I say, astonished they're still remembered, especially in NYC though I do remember they did a mini-tour or something with James Brown that took in NY.

Richard Blackwood > Will Smith > Andi Peters

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 29 May 2003 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

For some reason, "alternative/college rock/'new wave'" radio station W.L.I.R. (later re-monikered as W.D.R.E.) played an unhealthy amount of APB back in the mid to late 80s, which is probably the only reason I'm aware of them.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 29 May 2003 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

what's wrong with APB?

Marilyn Manson > GG Allin > Ronald McDonald

i really like it when Ronald McDonald drops his baggy pants, gives himself a McShake enema, points to his crotch and screams "eat my chicken mcnuggets, you little fucks!" as he throws his McShit at the frightened little rugrats ...

... ok, maybe not.

― Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 29 May 2003 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Indeed not, they love it, those little rascals!

― Siegbran (eofor), Thursday, 29 May 2003 18:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, the clown playing Ronald McDonald at the last public appearance I saw did something just like that. But I think he shat in the shake and screamed "NOW SERVING McHOTDOGS" at the tykes before whipping out his syphillis-scabbed schwantzen.

No, Eminem is Captain Crook. Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boyz was Hamburgular.

Also, I cannot see how "The Strokes v2.0: The Search for Lynyrd Skynyrd's Gold" can even remotely be bad.
