I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

iTunes has albums by both Blue Öyster Cult and Blue Oyster Cult. More by Blue Öyster Cult though.

Embrace the umlaut....

If it didn't include catfish, I would totally order Hor Mok for lunch, because I am twelve.

REM had videos of Perfect Circle and even earlier stuff.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Also, for some reason I didn't realize that REM was popular enough to have a video in 1988 (the copyright date for the video of Stand I just saw). I remember friends having bootlegs of REM and Indigo Girls in 1989. Perhaps they weren't available in my small town.

88/89 was when they switched to a major label. I think I owned a videotape of REM videos in 1989 (which is the year I saw them in one of the bigger venues in town).

But bands didn't need to be big to have videos, else 120 Minutes would have been mostly static and the occasional bit of Early Depeche Mode.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Now I can't get "Horse with no Name" out of my head.

120 Minutes

Now you're talking my kinda music. Sigh. The good old days when MTV actually showed videos.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I remember "The One I Love" being all over top 40 radio (or whatever passed for it then) somewhere in '86-'88.

I have discovered that it is impossible for me to type "Rosecrans Ave." correctly on the first try. It will always be Rosencrantz, with me wondering where Guildenstern went.
