Saturday Morning Psychadelic Furs

ChicagoNeoCon — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:07:53 +0000

The Psychadelic Furs have always had a very special place in my heart. I started high school the same year they debuted their first album, and for some reason, just about every teenage angst-ridden moment I experienced back then I associate with their music. Because this is a holiday weekend, I'll spare you the gory details, but let's just say that I was completely blindsided at work yesterday, so once again, I turn to Richard Butler for a little comfort, except that now, I find myself just wishing I had only those post-pubescent moments to deal with again.

Punks from Cleveland

This band was on the forefront of the punk scene in the late 1970's, broke up at the end of the decade and since has made a couple of efforts to reform, but as of now, The Dead Boys are still...well...dead as a musical unit. Here is an old live performance that features the group in Asia, doing a rough cut of the song, Sonic Reducer:

Mellow Punks

The Stranglers are a punk band from England that has been around since the 1970's. The group's music isn't strictly punk, as this song, Golden Brown, demonstrates:

Sit back, relax, and watch this horror movie feeling video to this next song by Send More Paramedics entitled Blood Fever:

TGIT: The Not Safe For Work Edition

One problem... first you have to register at the BL Rag and then go here.

(but hey, it's probably worth it in the long run)

Live, Loud, Fast, Hard... the way music was meant to be. A little tune from one of my old time favorite bands American Nightmare (or Give up the Ghost if you wish) entitled AM/PM. Enjoy.... bzzzt:

TGIT: Snooze Button Edition

If that first one didn't wake you up, I'll just have to try a little harder. And Maybe... just maybe... after this I'll start playing music from some bands that aren't from the UK.

Here's the band Collective Outcry with their video to New Franchise Mess, produced by D.A.R.Y.L. (Gallows, Funeral For A Friend, Pendulum)
