So, you posted pictures of the band why? Because they all look so fucking hip?

Because they look like it would be so easy to kick their hip little asses.

Just kidding. They look so hip...and they could probably kick my ass.


On second thought...no they couldn't.

The idea that you have to choose between image and substance is a false one.

no false ideas allowed!

This thread smacks of childish, high school mentality, but I'll indulge myself.
242, is it in your DNA to like shitty music?












Just kidding.

DNA was a pretty sweet band...

Definitely.

True, but I would suggest simultaneously that they made some fucking horrible hair decisions.

In general, Elvis Costello (and the Attractions); at the moment, maybe TV On The Radio. Gang of Four was my favorite band in the world back in high school, and Parliament/Funkadelic immediately prior to that.

Have to say that, today, my favorite band is Gang of Four and my favorite album is Solid Gold, because I have been listening to that album all day and it is wicked, genius, brilliant, whatever superlative you'd like... I actually think it could be better than Entertainment!, especially with the Another Day, Another Dollar EP tacked on at the end. Andy Gill was one hell of a guitarist...

Two different versions of "To Hell With Poverty!", which is too fucking badass. The second one is from 1983 with Sara Lee on bass, but it is still really ass-kickingly awesome despite everything I've been told about Go4 going to shit after Dave Allen left. As a side note, what kind of guitar is Andy Gill using in the second video? It looks interesting...
