I've never met a PhishHead that wasn't stoned all the time.

Sonic Youth are a band perhaps known more for their influence than their music. Formed in New York in 1981, they made their name on swirling avalanches of noise and guitars with odd tuning, breathing in a mix of no wave, hardcore, 60s pop, pulp sci-fi and b-movies. Their love of all kinds of popular culture was second only to their willingness to deconstruct the tropes of classic rock. By the end of the 80s they had made that most-pretentious of progressive rock ego-trips, a double-album, and with it launched the next decade of alternative music. Noise and pop in equal measure, this is the story of Daydream Nation and how Sonic Youth reinvented rock’n’roll.

That's a shame, I believe I said years ago they should make a Ken Burns style documentary on Prince like the Beatles Anthology. The estates argument is 9 hours is too long, on Netflix, that's not really applicable though.

If they were say episodes to cover the early years/70s, 80s could be 2 parts, 90s, 00's, 10's, in that context, 9 hours doesn't seem enough.

What to say about Nickelback? To say that they are terrible is played out, so very predictable. To say that they are secret geniuses of post-grunge balladry isn’t quite right either. But whatever you may think, their first single off Silver Side Up will always endure. It is the definitive sound of radio for the early 2000s. A nuevo classic rock standard shot through the lens of grunge. 220 seconds of candied hooks, unshakeable melody, and surprisingly crunchy guitars. However forces beyond their control coalesced to make sure that Nickelback became inescapable. This is how “How You Remind Me” happened.

Coincidentally rock radio also died that decade.

Really rare interview with Sananda Maitreya F/K/A Terrence Trent D'Arby

[Big Boss Man]

Sananda could've been a huge megastar, at one point he was being compared with Prince & His second album isn't too much a change from the first as there's still some R&B tracks on it.

I believe he had the same management as & were both under the CBS/Sony umbrella. It's interesting too as he said the failure of NFNF was what created Sananda Maitreya. In the same way Warners messing with Prince created 0(+>

Few 80s popstars were as eye-catching as Adam Ant. The dazzling calvary jacket, the eyeliner framing ice-blue eyes, the white warrior stripe applied just north of his nose. It's an image that defined MTV as much as Duran Duran’s yacht, A-Ha’s pencil outlines or Dire Straits’ blocky capitalists. But unlike their music television brethren, Adam Ant survived punk batterings, bandmate betrayal and press indifference to realise the marketing power of adding vibrant vision to his band’s pummelling pop sound. This is New British Canon, and this is the story of “Kings of The Wild Frontier”.

I read the book it was based on and it was really good. You even learn Rodney Dangerfield got lots of hot babes in the 80s. So apparently he did get some respect.
