I recently re-played (for the first time in many, many years) several ambient techno things from this period, and just could not find that "vibe" that made them seem so special in the first place...stuff like: Men In White Coats (I forget the album name; it had "Old Man River's Cryin'" and...

there was a band called Node, who released a great CD of Tangerine Dream-like trance, back in '95 or so...as I recall, the band featured Flood and Ed Buller (who was the "hot" producer of the day, directing Pulp and, er, Suede) and there was much to-do about their use of only vintage...

Boston, Mass... which is pretty obvious, really...I'm artificially inflating my post quantity so's I reach #200 that much faster (getting me a new Stones song, and a commemorative coffee mug, I believe)...

initally skeptical, I now have much more confidence in this endeavor, knowing that it is being created by the team behind Flashmob: The Opera... Flashmob: The Opera??!!

I started to get into them, back when "Brassneck" came out...(what was that LP, Kennedy?)...then I saw that David Gedge wore short pants on stage...for whatever reason, this sufficiently turned me off The Wedding Present...more fool me, I s'pose...

headphones: check

I especially like really bad lyrics (not rock-cliche lyrocs, like you might get with Oasis or The Verve, but trite, eye-rolling stuff...if anybody remembers Soul Family Sensation, that kind of thing)...I find them endearing...

it is a short leap from Young Marble Giants to Weekend, and their wonderful La Variete album...

not sure if this is a stretch, but I've always thought that anybody who is into the Raincoats would also be into Pram, particularly the first two albums...

I wouldn't call Alice Cooper "heavy metal", but I've been listening to those early Coop albums lately (up to and including Welcome To My Nightmare), and lemme tell you, this was a band...it didn't get much more rock than AC in those days, and I doubt any other rock band (except maybe Nirvana...

young gods? (they probably qualify for "metal", as well)

most of the bands I liked as a 70's kid were in the neighborhood of heavy metal, but I wouldn't listen to them now if you paid me: Nazareth Judas Priest Rush UFO Rainbow yecch!...talk about a rogues gallery! others have held up much better: Black Sabbath (obviously) Blue Oyster Cult (Agents...

I kinda like Shins...("Shins" and "kinda" seem to go hand-in-hand)... recreating a specific period/setting is the definition of acid jazz inbreeding, and there is a glut of ersatz 60's California sunny harmonists (ladies and gentlemen of the canyon) out there at the moment, but why then is it...

she did a full-length, Cairo Nights, back in 1985, which I've never heard, but always thought it sounded appealing...(Egypt being "hot" back then, what with "Nights Over Egypt" by The Jones Girls rockin' the charts, and of course The Egyptian Lover)... but yeah, "Change The Beat"...wasn't that...

given your initial post highlighting the Celluloid label, I was hoping you would eventually get around to B-Side, the female rapper who I think was American but rapped in French...was rather sexy, as I recall...

I think the only conspiracy theories that should be entertained on this board are those that have to do with music, i.e. whatever did happen to that Manic Street Preacher, or did Paul really die?...(interesting tidbit: my high school English teacher started that last one!)

oh, I don't know about this one...I don't exactly see bands lining up to cover New Order albums in full, and if you want to compare legacies, the Stones pretty much defined rambling, decadent rawk (how many album reviews still automatically defer to "Exile-era Stones"?...in fact, how many bands...

Helllooo Dissensus! my name is Henry S, I am an architect, and currently live in Boston...I won't tell you my age, but will offer the following clues: First record bought: Brownsville Station, "Smoking In The Boys Room" (on 45!) First album bought: Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits (on 8-track...

I've always figured it'd be better to have a girl leave you for another girl, rather than another guy...at least that way you could say, "well, it wasn't me, it was my gender"...can't exactly do much about that...(unless, of course...)

speaking of Disney, I assume all you Detroiters are familiar with this? http://www.angelfire.com/de2/detroitpix/HamtownDisneyland1.html
