Story from my high school days: Back in 1990 Peter Murphy toured with Nine Inch Nails opening. Unfortunately for him, he played Tulsa at a time when the one local "alternative" station was playing Pretty Hate Machine like it was super-glued in the CD player. So the Old Lady On Brady (newly restored and reopened) turns into this huge Trent Reznor mosh pit love fest... and then half the crowd leaves before Peter Murphy.
From what I heard he wasn't too happy with NIN upstaging him, and they didn't get re-upped as openers after that stretch of the tour ended.
I saw the same thing happen in Boston. He was not happy at all during the show (and tore someone a new one when they shouted requests for "Bela Lugosi's Dead").

Thanks for the notice, Jon. Does it look like a good comp to you?
Whoever it was here who was pimping "Little Black Ache," thank you. I've got it on repeat in my head, in a good way.

They didn't release a whole lot of stuff back in the day. I'll need to pull out my vinyl to cross-reference, but I think it's got most everything on it.

Anytime!
Now, who recommended Brendan Benson's "Metairie"? Because I've been listening to that on wear-out-the-electrons repeat. Mostly for that one part (I had to ask my musicky friend what that sound was called, and he said "modulation") where he sings "There's something I've been meaning to say to you ..."

That's exactly what I did when I downloaded that album as well, erin.
I have no fun music news to report. I am having computer/iPod problems that are preventing me from backing my music library to my brand new 250GB external drive. Frustrating.
I vividly remember Rollins yelling at, and nearly beating the crap out of, someone who asked Black Flag to play T.V. Party. The guy was saved by the sheer ferocity of the mosh pit - Henry couldn't break into it.
According to my recent peak in Natter:
Happy Birthday sumi!!
I have sent that Brendan Benson song to buffistarawk so y'all can see why erinaceous and I like it so much.
I am going to try to finalize my year end mix this week then liner note it up and to buffistarawk it goes. That's the plan anyway.
Thank you tina!
Seriously -- this is like getting little presents all over the board.
