Ms. Phair doing an in-store performance supporting Whip Smart. Be still my heart.
Nasty
https://youtu.be/3zPCkgUSchI
Season 2, episode 3 of The Young Ones, featuring Terry Jones as the drunk vicar and musical guest The Damned. (Original air date May 29, 1984.) For all of MTV’s evils, it did introduce the US to this crazy, offbeat British sitcom. I loved it immediately, and watching it now, I feel like it’s aged pretty well. Alexei Sayle was absolutely the show’s secret weapon.
If I had to pick, “Nasty” is my favorite episode. A horror movie theme and a punk band?

Is Rock Becoming The New Jazz?
It’s an interesting question, although Rick Beato’s rambling and boring video is more a diatribe against artists who don’t allow their videos on YouTube.
I say rock is obviously becoming the new jazz. it’s still valid, of course. (I’m sure y’all have seen the deluge of clickbait articles the last few years announcing rock’s imminent death.) I mean, yes, it had its moment in the spotlight as the dominant form of popular music – a nice, long run – just as jazz did before it. But it’s not going anywhere.
Rock has taken a backseat as niche music now, and I’m okay with that. I’m curious to know what you guys think.

This is pretty old but still worth a look. Lots of vintage synths and some great stories about them.

So Roxanne Is A Cinnamon Girl?
Apparently Neil Young has married Darryl Hannah. Either she’s a cinnamon girl, or maybe the man just needs a maid. *rolls eyes*
