But we didn't talk about Chapterhouse and Kingmaker......



Coldplay had a Stone Roses song playing before they came on last night

you know what i mean.

The current American scene has great music too, you just have to look for it... Its like when people say the Seventies suck for music (basing this opinion on the disco rage of that era) when this was the period when the Who, Springsteen, the Stones, the Clash, Ramones, etc. were around. same with the Eighties... The Stone Roses, the Smiths, the Replacements, Metallica, etc...

BRMC is American baby!!!

For someone who talks a lot of bullshit, no truer thing has ever been said...

Long live Rock!!! (I figure if I say that a lot, it will...)

I think you just said something truer by describing the rest of my posts.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Long live the Smiths.

 

[u2popmofo]

Long live the Smiths.

Amen.

One of my all-time favorite bands.

I bought most of their albums this last summer.

 

[meegannie]

Long live the Smurfs.

 

[u2popmofo]

Long live the Smurfs.

Wasnt Smurfette the only female Smurf among hundreds of male Smurfs. Talk about bad odds.

 

[meegannie]

Smurfs are asexual.

 

[u2popmofo]

Smurfs are asexual.

Is that why I found Smurfette so attractive?

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Most of the stuff I've been into lately has been from across the pond, so to speak. I can't find anything American worth listening to for a million bucks, unless you want to count Johnny Cash.

I haven't thought about some of those bands in a LONG time (chapterhouse, Kingmaker)! Seeing you are in the Bronx....did you see some of these bands in NYC in their hey day (early 90's)?

I saw The Wonder Stuff, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Jesus Jones, Paul Weller, Chapterhouse, Suede, Verve (2x back in '95), Boo Radleys, Charlatans UK, Catherine Wheel. Hell, I even saw Oasis at the Stone Poney on the Jersey Shore back in '94! (Hey, that rhymes)

Stone Poney......there is a place I haven't thought about in a LONGGGG time. I saw someone there...I forget who though.

I wonder if we are at some of these show at the same time (Neds, Chapterhouse, Charlatans....). I remember seeing EMF's first show in America in NYC (forget the club). As well as Inspiral Carpets and many others. Ahhh, those were the days (Sounds old).

RIDE

I saw Mark Gardener last night (the lead singer for RIDE). What an amazing little show. He is just playing acoustic - but you still can "imagine" the screaming guitars and the drums when he sings.

I was uplifted. He was pretty cool and let people hang out back stage with him afterwards. So cool.



He is playing the Milwaukee and Chitown the next two nights and then hits the East Coast - GO SEE HIM!!! It reminded me why I love all of today's bands (Coldplay, Radiohead, etc. etc. etc.)

i will go see this when he hits NYC. Ride were a really good band.
Back in 1998 Miles Hunt from the Wonder Stuff did the same thing, clubs w/ an acoustic guitar, it was awesome.
