Top of the hour cracker...


junkie cosmonauts? or eurotrash girls?

Junkie cosmonauts.  

Here's Eddie Dayne.  

I saw that PJ20 show on KQED, too.   HuffPo had a good review of it: doesn't dig too deep, not an expose, by a fan for fans, nice archival footage, etc.

I decided I don't dig Eddie's voice that much...  but those guitars are pretty great, esp Mike McCreedy.
Watching a good documentary usually makes me see the band in a different light, but this one didn't do that to me.  I'm still neither here nor there with PJ.  I turned on PBS again last night and they were on Austin City Limits.  I like their energy, but that's about it.  


and as I've said before, half the awful bands of the past 15 years have lead singers doing second-rate Eddie V imitations. Creed, Live, Nickelback, Hoobastank, Nickelstank, Hoobaback...

Especially CREED (though with a supposedly religious twist - yea, right) and NICKELCRACK (they just really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really suck).

the PJ20 doc featured a snippet of that animated Celebrity Death Match b/w Eddie Vedder and the Creed Singer: "Gimme back my voice!" *reaches into Creed Boys mouth and rips out his larynx*.

Heh.  I caught that too!  One of the few songs I recognized from ACL last night was (unfortunately) "Just Breathe".  Lots of sweaty, acoustic finger-picking guitar face going on during that one!

Rad's got AL's number...here's "Regret" right on cue...(good song, though!)

HA!  Concrete Blonde ("Underneath the Mexican Moon"), and a song from Chris Isaak that I'm not familiar with ("Can't Do a Thing (To Stop Me)").

AL fooled y'all?

And oof, ok, Mike Myers doing spoken word poetry. "This poem sucks."  Indeed.

And ok, back to mediocrity:  Duran Duran.

the faux-beatnik poem is from So I Married and Axe Murderer, I think?   I was walking by Wash Sq Park one evening  During the filming and caught a glimpse of Mike Meyers in his trailer.  Woohoo!

gotta split opinions in the Duran Duran.  I diggit.

at least it was "Linger" (or as Alex Bennett used to call it "Do You want to Smell my Finger") -- Rob on The Peak played "Zombie" this morning -- that one makes my head hurt.

I guess she could have also played Meat Loaf's "Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are".

I can't think of this movie (I really liked it) without the "There She Goes" song.  I'm guessing it's not from the same year?
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

I'm doing a new ratings system, based on how "good" (or not) and "necessary" (or not) all the songs are. :D

Good ratings:
A
New Order
Duran Duran
Dinosaur Jr.

B
Stereo MCs
Concrete Blonde

C
Chris Isaak
Cranberries

D
Cracker
Pearl Jam (only because this is one of their more tolerable songs, otherwise it would be a F[/color]
The Breeders

Necessary ratings:
A
Dinosaur Jr.

B
New Order
Concrete Blonde (haven't heard this one in awhile)
Cracker

C
Chris Isaak, I guess
Stereo MC's (Was initially going to give this an F[/color]...but then I had to admit to myself that this song screams 10@10 all over it.  They could still lay off a bit though.

D
The Breeders

F [/color]
Pearl Jam
