Saw these guys a year ago with Gary Numan and Ministry. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to!
They’re more shoegaze than anything else, especially in their later albums, but they had a couple of heavier songs like this one early on. They opened for The Cure on the Wish tour in ‘92. I think the singers weird toddler-sounding voice put a lot of people off and they pretty much disappeared by the mid-2000s.
I saw them twice in the 90s. They were a pretty cool live act; very down to earth - I remember a few of the band members hanging out behind the theater after a show smoking cigarettes with the fans.
My wardrobe agrees.
As someone born in the 70s, I have to correct you - 1975 was not 48 years ago. 30 maybe. 35, tops.
Love this song. They’ve been playing it on their tour this summer!
It’s a schooner.
Blasto was my jam. The sound effects were so satisfyingly crunchy! I didn’t have the speech synthesizer either. Nor did I have the tape recorder to save my BASIC programs.
It was either the TI-99/4a or Magnavox Odyssey2.
[email protected] is pretty fun. Just be sure to sort by new.
I briefly followed him on Twitter years ago and quickly saw that he was a complete asshole.
The real ads were the friends we made along the way.
The problem with filtering by keyword is that it will inadvertently block content you might actually want to see. For example, “Free tacos one block north of football stadium,” or “Hockey player rescues truckload of adorable puppies”
