4 Dec 2009: Will the Streak end? (1981)

[RGMike]

"this isn't the right thing to do... so let's go!"

no idea whothefuck this is.  "Bang bang"...?

I looked it up.  It's Iggy Pop; I'm much more familiar with David Bowie's version.

I thought it was Bauhaus for a minute.

It gets a BOS(3)FRA for being an ATBB, not for quality.  BOS4 U2, before Bono was God.

BOS U2, Gloria.  No one sounded like The Edge back then.

NTM Clash?

ETA: Apparently it's Mission from Burma.  Never heard of 'em!

[RGMike]

OMGWTFLOL! Mission of Burma!  uber-BOS5 and bustout-of-the-week.

HOLY F**K!!!

BOS of the month Mission of Burma!

Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dream
But all of that is changed now
They've turned things inside out
The truth is not that comfortable, no

And mother taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
And father taught us boundaries
Beyond which we must go
To find the secrets promised us, yeah

That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit fights to find its way

A friend of mine once told me
His one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And live inside his name
Cry and whispers sing in muted pain

That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit fights to find its way

Tonight the sky is empty
But that is nothing new
Its dead eyes look upon us
And they tell me
We're nothing
But slaves (That's when I reach for my revolver)
Just slaves (That's when I reach for my revolver)
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver

HOLY F**K!!!

BOS of the month Mission of Burma!

I've heard of them, but not familiar w their stuff.  Nice to hear here in this set which featured too many well-worn songs.  pretty raw, and Clashy.  I'll give it BOS and the Stones HM b/c I love Tattoo You

[RGMike]

AL has pulled this one out of the crapper.  BOS6 Kinks.

[Davefish]

Set's really picking up at the end here with some heaviosity from the Kinks.

[Tinka Cat]

Ray Davies?  Kinks?  gotta give it another BOS

Annalisa must have heard of them back in Boston in the day.

per AMG:
Of all the punk-inspired bands that came out of Boston in the early '80s, none were better than Mission of Burma. Arty without being too pretentious, capable of writing gripping songs and playing with ferocious intensity, guitarist Roger Miller, bassist Clint Conley, drummer Peter Prescott, and tape head Martin Swope galvanized the city's alternative rock scene, and despite a too-short existence, set a standard for excellence that has rarely been equalled

A GREAT album!  side one, track one...

[mshray]

AL has pulled this one out of the crapper.  BOS6 Kinks.

I was going to say that even when it starts out slow, her sets almost always end on a high note, or two.

indeed, she has a habit of starting with overly-familiar tracks and then piling on the raritites'n'bustouts.  This set did have *three* WOS's from me, but still managed *six* BOS's. So she's still smokin'.
