I miss the days when MTV was deeply weird.
I was just talking about Liquid TV the other night. I could not properly replicate Stick Figure Theatre with my hand gestures.

Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon.
I hope you have Hejira. I think "Black Crow" might be Joni's best song ever.

Ooooh. I'd forgotten STF. That was fabulous.
I did have to watch the Aeon Fluxx episode where she exterminates the human race. Good times. Plus, I'd forgotten how funny Goodchild was. I think next weekend's project will be putting those on DVD. And figuring out if I actually have them all.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Dude. I was so totally listening to Jackson Browne today in my car. Which, I suppose, doesn't make today all that much different from any other day.
The scary part about Browne's early 70s stuff (which I also have on my ipod) is how applicable some of the lyrics are today.

I didn't get MTV (or cable TV beyond HBO) 'til Sept. '87, so I missed out on most of its' golden era. I got, more or less, the Adam Curry/Downtown Julie Brown/"Remote Control" era, when that network was just one giant, economy-sized ball of Yuck.

The Hold Out album scarred me to the point where I can't trust anything he did from that decade.
I mean, Disco Apocalypse. Dude.

I want all those Cintra Wilson puppettoons! Winter Steele! And the Stevie whatchamacallit noir/beatnik/skateboardy cartoony.
And I still desperately want "Slow Bob In The Lower Dimension" by Henry Selick.

"Remote Control" era,
Brady Physics = genius.

I had it, but I didn't love it. Aside from some tracks on Mingus, Joni's post-Hissing of Summer Lawns career leaves me a bit cold.

The Maxx and AF were on in '95, so Liquid Television must have been right before that.
You had it good and you didn't even know! Fie upon thee!
