My first thought too. De La, baby!

I think he wrote the script for Being John Malkovich, as well as directing it.

Iron Maiden Judas Priest I do love Maiden and Priest, but seriously (for this board): Stray Cats Not that nobody here knows them, but how great were they? Brinsley Schwarz Nick Lowe's first big band had an amazing run in the early-mid 70's. And the live on the BBC collection that came out a couple of years ago shows that they were even more amazing live. "(What's So Funny About) Peace, Love, and Understanding?" was theirs before Elvis', after all.

Now THIS could be really cool. Is In the Night Kitchen next?

Freaks (1932) Starring actual circus sideshow performers. Ever wonder where The Ramones got "Gabba Gabba Hey!" Watch the movie. Genuinely creepy.

No need to start calling names.

I apologize for offending your sensibilities. Guess I just am used to boards with higher traffic and posting rates. In deference to this board, I will try to slow down a bit.

Only heard parts of that one, but it's good. And the only "officially released" solo album -- Pacific Ocean Blue I have in its entirety and it IS damn good (if you can get past the 70's production). Other fans? Anyone have the entire Bamboo album?

The NERVES! Thank you. I knew The Vapors didn't sound right.

I believe it was The Vapors.

All I know is that "Hanging On the Telephone" is great. http://www.sendspace.com/file/r9t4fe seriously.

Annie (with Albert finney) I was only 12 or 13 and I could not stand it.

I saw about 30 min. of it before I had to turn off the tube and go to sleep. (Alarm is set for 5:00.) But it was pretty interesting. Shed a new light on not just the man, bit also (for me) on the strip, which I have always loved; sometimes without even knowing why. PBS shows like this are part of the reason why I don't have cable.

Agreed. They guy can't even get along with Phil Jackson. So, echoing the comments directly above... with Skiles? Oy.

Oh and my stations on there: Nick Lowe Radio Shrimp Boat Radio Guided By Voices Radio Neutral Milk Hotel Radio Tom Z

I was 12 and I hate Hysteria, too. But still I know all the words to "Rock Of Ages" (God help me). Any yeah, I hadn't heard anything since then that I could stomach either. But one night I was listening to the Loop here in Chicago and they played "Waterloo Sunset" out of the blue. It obviously wasn't The Kinks, but an obviously newer version with crunchy guitars and all that. And I found myself really digging it. Then the DJ came on and let me know that it was Def Leppard, from their new album of cover tunes and that piqued my interest. I got the album and it reminded me exactly why I did

Me neither, which is why this record caught me so off-guard.

Thanks. I only joined a month ago or so. But yeah, I supposed that I could have searched. I'm just lazy like that.

I've been slowly immersing myself in this site for a while now and am really enjoying it. Great idea that I've found a couple of new artists through using. My label has sent my band's CD in for consideration/inclusion and I am waiting with baited breath. But before that happens, I got my stations for now. Awww yeah!

Anyone have that out-of-print Laughner demos collection? -- Take the Guitar Player For a Ride? (Yes, that was him that Wilco was quoting on "Misunderstood".) You know of any other Laughner collections out there? My copy of the one mentioned above has been trashed and, as it is out-of-print, I obviously have no access to a copy for less than $50-100. Fans? Do you know the solo stuff, or just the Pere Ubu and Dead Boys tracks?

So is this thread the death of my cred as a relative newbie?

Just listen to their version of "Hanging On the Telephone" or "Stay With Me" before you pass judgement. So good. Oh, and Pyromania doesn't have a single piece of filler.

They put out an all-covers album last year that was REALLY damn good. Just a great rock band playing the songs that inspired them to play music in the first place. Excellent versions of: 1 20th Century Boy (Bolan) 3:40 2 Rock On (Essex) 2:53 3 Hanging on the Telephone (Lee) 2:22 4 Waterloo Sunset (Davies) 3:38 5 Hell Raiser (Chapman, Chinn) 3:19 6 10538 Overture (Lynne) 4:30 7 Street Life (Ferry) 3:26 8 Drive-In Saturday (Bowie) 4:07 9 Little Bit of Love (Fraser, Kirke, Kossoff) 10 The Golden Age of Rock 'N' Roll (Hu

You're just looking for a fight, eh? You're not gonna get it. Just commenting on how earnest and urgent the guy sounds. Listen to him and think about my original statement. You'll most-likely chuckle.
