Playing even further with "live" but this specific performance - which is dubbed over - was a major one when I was little pacinoyes - a little spitfire of punk rock fury and bad intentions on a tricycle really. Um...........this was one of the first clips I ever remember seeing and loving - you think great music taste is accidental? Geesh.......

It's been a little while so I'll post some live Westerberg from this somewhat famous solo show - unfortunately the video cuts out in the middle but comes back. Almost nobody ever said "Fnck" in songs better - sort of like no one says it better than Gary Oldman or Harvey Keitel in the movies. Here he does it in San Diego - "Up to my fnckin' neck in Hollywood" - near Hollywood naturally - in front of a radio concert broadcast crowd because where else would you do it. Mattsby , Viced and also to Deceit , countjohn and TheAlwaysClassy who always post in music threads and do a real good job of keeping these threads up to date and turning me on to lots of good stuff too  |

There is a secret (not really) UK school of pop-punk that starts with the Beatles '64.....Dave Clark Five......then gets dark and twisted with Nick Lowe and the Buzzcocks..........The Undertones and The Boys .......and all of that inspired the great American band The Exploding Hearts who sadly died and left us with what we have now - a bunch of sh itty bands who couldn't write this kind of pop hook if their life depended on it and probably respect girls too much to ever try to kiss them. Shrug.......

Just iconic ... totally insane (or, as insane as the setting allows for)

At the date of this performance (7/11/80), they were (imo) the world's very best band at least the best UK band - at a time when that was a big deal - they'd make one of the best albums of 1980 (Sound Affects) and one of the year's great (non-album) singles too (Going Underground). I guess you could argue the Clash though they were in a post-London Calling decline............Joy Division but Ian Curtis was already dead.......and The Attractions but they were a backing band.
Plus, no one really could play live like The Jam who here give 2 ferocious performances for a baffled crowd of Americans who are wondering why they have such short hair and why the singer isn't saying thank you.

1 week before the Jam this same awful show hosted another great band. Here they do an ace song (with Nicky Hopkins on piano) and take a side swipe at Elvis Costello - their main rival in that time (they'd lose) "The people sit there, cameras without action, I can't see the point but I see the attraction" - witty fncker he used to be......

Go back sometime and look at the best albums of 71/72 - there's not many - but Electric Warrior and The Slider were not only great then - they hold up now and are even more weird and otherworldly.

The genius - and it is genius - of this lip-synching by the mighty Rockpile is that they are doing a fat-shaming song about eating yourself to death on a children's show  . They don't even try to hide not playing because they aren't afraid of kids - they can take those little brats - look how tall and mean Nick Lowe looks after all. Rockpile were the Faces of their day and a sort of precursor to The Replacements (the Faces of their day too) - hard drinkers who played straight up Rock and could break your heart with ballads when they weren't cracking you up........they were playing on each others solo records and on one classic album under the Rockpile name which had many cool covers like this one. Viced who likes the Faces and Mattsby who likes cleverly obscure covers. |

Iggy covers The Animals which would have been an appropriate band name for the Stooges come to think of it.

Acting like a Rock star in 2019 pretty cool.
But being a rock star in 2019..........very cool.

Marvelous clip - Husker Du taking BS questions from Bryant Gumbel who couldn't care less - they go to commercial break right during his solo, wtf.
The crowd is old ladies and soccer moms - Grant Hart looking slim and healthy and like he'd like to quit the band right when Gumbel talks to Mould and not him.
Historic, sad simultaneously.

In a few months someone is going to start a thread "Album of the 2010s" - and as awful as it's been I'm probably picking Blunderbuss by Jack White - but I'm definitely picking this dude as drummer of the decade. What an ending .....
