  1. He is, but still never got much play in the US, a little on college/community stations, but never enough. This could also be a college/indie rock thread, Sparks is fairly well known but still never got more than underground love... Had this album many years ago, got ruined in a flood...
  2. That's good stuff, very Georgia Satellite-ish. I like the Charlie Brown reference...
  3. It's all good, a welcome addition.
  4. Finally, Martha and the Muffins. A Canadian band, they later shortened their name to "M+M" and had a hit with "Black Stations/White Stations". This one is not so great, just your standard pop song, but I did dig the green vinyl and the nod to the Who at the end:
  5. Next up, Wreckless Eric. I played the hell out of this one, just great Brit Pop in the Nick Lowe vein (Lowe may have produced this, can't remember). 12-inch single on orange vinyl, just a wall of chiming guitars and thick harmonies: (the 12-inch is pictured on the video, different labels and color scheme on each side)
  6. MaxHorn, hulla and others were great on the other board about highlighting those bands on the fringes, stuff you picked up for one reason or another, maybe you loved the band but they just never made it. Thought this could be a catch-all for your favorite memories. For me, I lived out in the country between Sealy and Columbus, not a record store in miles. In the back of Rolling Stone, you could order these mail-order catalogs featuring all kinds of import/independent records you couldn't find anywhere else. I would order stuff just based on the descriptions, they were usually pretty cheap and worth the gamble. I remember in the summer just waiting for the mailman to show up, we lived on a dirt road (the only house) and you could see the mailman coming half a mile away from the dust cloud. Hoping today was going to be the day my records showed up. Then running to the mailbox to pick them up (I remember, if it was an LP too big to fit inside, the mailman would attach it to the outside of the mailbox with a rubberband...). Just a great time. Anyway, first up, this band was pretty big in Australia but never did anything here in the States. This was a cool 4-song EP on Stiff Records, great pop band (I still have all of these BTW, some of my most treasured records just base on the memories..) The Sports: (EP cover)
  7. I'm sure you know Split Enz evolved into Crowded House, correct? I remember seeing an ad for this in Rolling Stone, the laser etching, pretty cool. Regarding Crowded House, yeah, huge fan, still have my Temple of Low Men and Woodface CDs. Doesn't get much better than this: And this is one of the best pop songs I've ever heard: That was a great period for music, Crowded House, Michael Penn, Aimee Mann just to name a few, back when KGSR actually played great music.
  8. Don't remember, was there actually music on this album?... Played on this: and listened to on these:
  9. Right, why the hell are we getting the in-studio feed? I did notice that the bottom chyron with the score and time disappeared for a couple of minutes, technical problems I guess. Regardless, the panel audio is a mess, everybody talking over each other...
  10. Not a big fan of Rice-a-Roni, but I've eaten worse...
  11. Is that dude the brother of the wat lady?
  12. The hell you say...
  13. plus mix in a bowl, eat until the skin on the roof of your mouth is gone
  14. Here's just a random snapshot of InfoWars from 2005, quite a bit different then: https://web.archive.org/web/20050829085542/http://infowars.com/
  15. Again this year, I have to recommend HDNET, they've got a pretty solid list of Oscar winners running this month. Quite a few on my "haven't seen that one in forever" list, and they give you plenty of chances over the month to catch them. February movie roster
  16. Kinks fan?
  17. I keep a close watch on this heart of mine , I keep my eyes wide open all the time Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry , make me a poster of an old rodeo Eighteen-hundred miles from this old nightclub, a girl is turning 22 today Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel, and the storm's brewing in this heart of mine Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe Something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it
  18. The fact that they stopped at a McDonalds when there's a Whataburger next door tells me all I need to know. Fuckin' Keystone cops.
  19. This one got me
  20. Went out to eat with the wife and we were talking about the EJ tour, I thought he was pretty much done with the states (I'd looked into going last fall), almost bought 2 tix for Tulsa next Sat, $850 for two, wife even agreed that was too much. Checked some more, end of spring break, Mar 15 in Jacksonville, 2 tix $580, pulled the trigger. Will be a nice road trip, last chance to see Elton, never seen him before, just couldn't pass it up.
  21. BTW, the link above appears to have some audio overdubbed from the official album and bootlegs. Here's a version with the original audio, for authenticity: https://archive.org/details/LetItBe_724 There might be other better versions, these were just the first 2 I came across...
