Many thanks, lovely Sean. Though i disassociate myself from "Legs" - one of the all-time worst videos!

[SeanMacGabhann]

no problem PCG - and I was willing to bet you were keener on earlier ZZTop than the MTV days but I put both up just in case

[Brendan]

I love those cheesy ?80s videos like that one for Legs. They were always packed with characters: villains, heroes, underdogs who come out on top and pretty girls who are hard done by. A bit like ?80s films really.

This one has to be the ultimate. Done like all of their stuff, with tongue firmly in cheek:

Zodiac Mindwarp ? Backseat Education

[Brendan]

I even has ninjas! >:D

[Brendan]

This one is your fault Sean as you mentioned it in another thread.

Quite a cool live version. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wh9AC0jCGjY&mode=related&search=

[Brendan]

with Spanish subtitles for some reason.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Cheers Brendan - I've not seen that one before

This is the film that turned me on to "Laugh? I nearly finished an album" LC

Pump Up The Volume

[Brendan]

Great film, Pump up the Volume it was one of the seminal films of my high school days. I remember being highly upset when my mother taped a rugby match over my bootlegged copy.

[SeanMacGabhann]

and I was in love with Nora....

Was a bit impatient last night at a bar (strictly coca-cola *ahem* honest) and this popped into my head

Silver Bullet - 20 Seconds to Comply

[ben]

Heard to Edwyn being interviewed by Robert Elms last week, amazing considering the extent of his illness.

[SeanMacGabhann]

and he is talking of doing some live shows as well - amazing, amazing recovery and the album sounds great

[Brendan]

Seeing Edwyn Collins and the previous movie related posts prompted me to try to find the ?A Girl Like You? sequence from Empire Records.

All my search brought up was some stuff about ?Masons, Satanism and the Illuminati? (first I thought it may be an iron maiden track) did you know that the queen mum was really a lizard who ate people? Fascinating!

[ben]

In anticipation of Control and all things Joy Division over the next week or so

[mockney piers]

Listening to the new Stars album that I didn't even know was coming out.

So far a bit dissappointed, not the catalogue of purest power pop that was Set Yourself on Fire, here's hoping it's a grower.

But we'll celebrate the event with some old

You're ex-lover is dead

and some new

Take me to the Riot

[Jah Lush]

When Under Ether

Got the new P J Harvey album last week and it truly is a thing of wonderous beauty. Completely different from what she has done before. Here's her latest single. Enjoy.

[mockney piers]

Great stuff Jah. I love Polly (don't worry both pollys missy d) and this album's next on my to buy list.

This has whet my appetite nicely.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Just watched Simpsons. Quote from the blessed Homer: "Why do they keep having new bands. Everybody knows that 1974 was the year rock reached perfection!

[Keef]

I love that episode! Features The Smashing Pumpkins too >:D

[Brendan]

Hey I'm busy watching it too.

Otto's chuck taylors just spoke to him. :))

[Brendan]

Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm

[Jah Lush]

Doh! You guys, what are you like. Here's some Jimi Hendrix from Monteray Festival '67 maan.

Hey Joe

[SeanMacGabhann]

"mmmm .. Rock Stars... is there anything they don't know...?"

[Jah Lush]

There's some great riffing going on here. Well I love it anyway. The Faces with Keith Richards doing Chuck Berry's Sweet Little Rock N' Roller at the Kilburn State Theatre at Xmas in '74 with Rod in ridiculous satin pyjamas. Turn it up LOUD!

The Faces

[mockney piers]

From Keith Richardsish to err.....
