Yo tate and hbtc. Love all that stuff, going to look into the ones you guys mentioned that i don't have. My music addiction started when i bought Talking Heads-'77, The Police-regetta de blanc, and The Sugar Hill Gang, i think that would have been 8th grade. Never looked back. It was a lonely road in the early days of interesting music, it was tough going to keggers and bars having my ear holes insulted. Started drinking Chimay and Sam Smith's when i was 17, that was when the only microbrewery was Anchor(that can't be right,can it?)(1980). So that ruined me for bmc.
Saw LCD and Hot Chip together a few years ago, that was cool.
Also the Psychedelic Furs and Electric Six, great show from both. the PF lead singer walked through the audience the whole time, they were loud. It was at the zoo.
just missed the Black Angels dammit.
here's a reminder of bands from 5 -10 years ago:
gomez, air, supergrass, apples in stereo, plants and animals,
depeche mode, dandy warhols, tears for fears, smiths, suba, rogue wave.
too many to name. its a fantastic time for good music and good beer. we're lucky to be taking this journey.
