I hadn't listened to
The Wall
for almost 20 years when I finally bought the CD. I'm surprised that I still like it as much as I do. I listened the crap out of that album in Jr. high and high school. Then my freshman year of college I bought all their other albums and jumped on the "The early stuff with Syd was better" bandwagon. Then I got into the Velvet Underground and post-punk stuff so I became rather snobby about Pink Floyd's '70s and '80s output.
I also discovered that I still like
Animals,
and Hec's book made me buy
The Final Cut.
yep - still love that one too....
Um... but '70s Floyd is another one of those things I just can't objectively judge anymore.
eta: I should point out that in high school I knew no one who listened to any punk, college rock, post-punk or whatever. I didn't hear the VF until I was a sophomore in college. Probably the first punk song I heard (and fell in love with) was "London Calling" - my favorite local AOR station played that a lot.
Sad news. Question Mark's house burned down:

Now playing - "My Generation" by The Who.
I was sorta' subconsciously awaiting the lyrics, "I don't need that fucking shit," when I suddenly realized, "Wait, that's not on this version...."
Laura, do you still need some world music? I have Welsh rock, a lot of Spanish-language music, both from Central/South America and Spain, some from Portugal, a lot of Swedish indiepop, some Irish Gaelic, I could go on.
Let me know if you want any of those and I'll post 'em.
Pig songs! Thank you !!! I was away for a long weekend and need to start compiling and passing on to the Pig Party hostess.
Amy Rigby has started a blog. Her prose is as adorable as her songwriting: [link]
Thanks, SA. His project is due tomorrow so he better be all set!
OMG! I just heard a Buzzcocks song in an AARP ad!!!
(Everybody's Happy Nowadays)

(Not the same video I posted in Natter.)
Anyway, can someone please identify the band/song that's played? It's a pop tune sung in English but it sounds like English is not the singer's native tongue.
