That's from Ultra Vivid Scene's video for Special One, in case anyone is wondering. I had it on vhs (taped off 120 Minutes), that and Hellbound were probably my two favorite music videos of 1990.

Thanks! I didn't know how that worked until now

What's the top right corner album?

When was Lawrence a joke to British journalists? I've been a fan since the 80s and don't keep up with recent (i.e. last 25 years or so) music trends, genuinely asking. I always thought Felt/Denim/GKM was quite revered by NME/Melody Maker

One of the best songs on their best album.

"hold my beer..." -Victor Jara

first record i ever bought with my own money. i was 11, it had just been released. still have that copy

I haven't heard this one, thanks!

I haven't yet, but within US/UK bands, I have just about every release by every band/artist I know that I like, so it's time to branch out

My formative music era as a kid was early 80s, my record collection is a lot of 60s, some early and late 70s but not much in the middle, tons of 80s and a smidge of 90s. Prefer lo-fi to polished, originality to technical ability.

Oh nice! I only made it to 14 posts, last 6 would've been: ministry-twitch, royal trux-s/t, tvp's-closer to god, henry's dress-bust em green, thee headcoats-in tweed we trust, rowland s. howard-teenage snuff film

I just picked up Slowness at the SPCA used bookstore. One of his only works I haven't read. Book of Laughter and Forgetting is among my favorite fiction books ever

btw, Whatever happened to the C86 kids? We became middle aged and now all our records are worth a lot! I want to read your book, do you have a preferred marketplace?

Shane was a rescue as well, but I got him when he was only 6 weeks old. Happy birthday to Ralphie! I hope his day is filled with squirrels and treats!
