Ah! My favorite album by who, if you catch me on the right day, is my favorite band!
Certainly didn't miss The Smiths with Johnny Marr joining The The!

Why not more of this outstanding and one of the MOST underrated bands (with Smith guitar wizzard Jonny Marr)...?
They have tons of good material.
What about "The Whisperers" for starters?
Check out their truely unusual website and hear all songs from A to Z.

Noam Chomsky rocks!
Keep listening to Noam Chomsky. And yea, I did hear he is in fact a great dancer... Howard Zinn, Helen Caldecott, etc.... all are determined to keep on rockin' in the free world! 
Become informed. 
Check out the documentary Orwell Rolls In His Grave! It's a look at how the 1% of the population owns 95% of the wealth... and how the de-regulation of the FCC allows megacompanies to gobble up all of the media sources. 10 years ago 77 companies owned various media sources... now it's 7, maybe 5, can't remember exactly. 1984 is here. Truly one of the best documentaries about what's happening in the world, and how the U.S. is screwing things up. Namely, democracy. Can get it through Netflix.
Hell, now they're trying to control the internet! 
Stand up! Stand up! Stand up for your rights! 
Beg pardon for the political discussion. Just saw it last night. A must see. 
Oh, and great tune!
Signed,
Winston

Good song. 7. |

Nice to know that the Angry Brigade of UK agitpop is still going - Heartland, from their seminal Infected album, is one of my all time fave tracks, sheer burning radical anger dressed up in toe-tapping poppiness. Noam Chomsky for the dance floor :)

Brilliant song, this was the last decent album they released, one of the best bands of the late 80s early 90s in my opinion.

I'm painting a plywood floor in our living room with Kilz, preparing for a new carpet installation on Friday, grooving out to one of my all-time favorite tunes by The The.
Radio Paradise is on the air in our neighborhood --- FM 88.9!
You're sounding great on the 64 kbps AACPlus feed, friends. Please keep it up!
Warmly,
Your fanatic listeners in Chicago

I saw them maybe about 4 or 5 years ago touring smaller venues and they were great. During the show there was some girl talking and MJ stopped in the middle of the song and asked her if he was bothering her with his singing. Just a great show. |
