The band and the singers certainly gave me cognitive dissonance. I’m glad you enjoyed
This Aussie band I really like:
I stage managed a show with them in San Francisco. In like 1980? I think Wall of Voodoo and DOA opened?
For Siouxsie, I guess? I like Wall of Voodoo and DOA as well.
yes, she was the headliner.
semi amusing story: I was in a record store in new york (maybe 1986?) and some kid came in and asked “I’m looking for DOA’s single of discos sucks”. The clerk said “you will never find that”. I said “I have that. How much is it worth”? The clerk said “well, that depends on whether you are an asshole or not”. It was a good point, so I gave him the single.
I fired up my Mac Mini that I had not used for almost 4 years, and rediscovered something like 90 GB of music in the iTunes library. I wanted to review it because I’m getting an iPhone and wanted to load it up with some music. Classical, Punk, Surf, New Wave, Math Rock, Beatles, Pink Floyd, DarkWave, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, Shoegaze, you name it.
What a trip down memory lane that was.
Two from my “Road Trip” playlist:
That’s why people buy Telecasters.
The first time I heard “El Rayo” on the radio the host said after “Gotta love them party horns!”. Sort of like a souped-up Conjunto music.
I realize now that the sound of David Lindley is the sound of Jackson Browne. Always like JB, but never liked DL. Now I am a convert.
Awesome, I had a couple of jams with Reinhardt back in South Africa years ago. A brilliant musician!
Glass Beams are awesome !
