Music Monday: The Damned (Part 2)

I want to go back to The Damned, but focus alternately that Seattle compilation album. I stumbled upon Another Damned Seattle Compilation in the early 90s when I was regularly perusing a variety of record stores. You know, during the time in your life when you have more disposable income than you realize and don’t…

Music Monday: The Damned (Part 1)

I love The Damned. While they aren’t one of my all-time favorite bands, of the “classic” punk rock scene of the late 70s in England, they are my favorite (besting even The Clash and The Sex Pistols). Why? They weren’t afraid to mix it up and have fun. Stylistically they started out as straight on…

Music Monday: The Cure (Part 1)

By |

Alright, so if you listened to the radio in the mid-80s to the 90s it was difficult to get away from The Cure. For a while they were one of the bigger bands on the scene, which felt… weird. Don’t get me wrong, I do not begrudge the band their success and even saw them…

Music Monday: The Music Man

I don’t remember a time in my life with The Music Man. This is one of those musicals I grew up with. I admit to being more familiar with the film version which I have watched on television many times – the latest being just yesterday. While it isn’t one of my earliest television memories,…

Music Monday: The Briefs

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to listen to. The previous Friday I had loaded up some Queen onto my phone to listen to on the way to swim lesson. This past Friday I wasn’t in the greatest of moods so I wanted to listen to something with a little bit of “punch” to it….

Music Monday: Lighthouse Records

When I was in the Army (shocking revelation to many) from 1985 – 1989 I spent most of that period stationed in the Monterey Bay area. There were a couple of record stores I would frequent in these musically formative years, but perhaps none other as influential as Lighthouse Records. On Lighthouse Avenue, the main…

Music Monday: King Of Rock

I had a totally different musical topic planned for today, then in the shower this morning this song came into my head and wouldn’t leave me alone. This song was released as a single in January of 1985 but it would be several months before I heard it. Actually it would be almost a year later…

Music Monday: The Thing That Only Eats Hippies

I have posted about The Dead Milkmen before, and while I’d like to go into more detail about my enjoyment of the band I don’t have a heck of a lot of time today. So instead I’m going to post this video of the song that introduced me to the band. Airing on MTV in…

Music Monday: The Attractions

A month ago I did a Music Monday post about Elvis Costello, and while he has had a lengthy solo career, his backing band for a long time was more than just a bunch of hired musicians, it was an actual band – The Attractions. They weren’t pulled together until Elvis Costello’s second album, though not…

Music Monday: Devo (Part 3)

By |

Devo sent the link to this on twitter, so they obviously approve of its existence: It’s just a shame none of the newer stuff was performed. Still, a good set.
