oooo nice. Weird, I've been on this XTC kick all week and came across an interesting take for all the Francois Hardy fans on the board. Pretty cool:



They do a pretty mean cover of 'Too Drunk To Fuck' aswell, genius band.

Going back to the MTV staples back when they used to play music (short-lived era)?

OK.

It's okay, Phibes...

The esquivel craze usually swings by every 7-8 years when it's inevitably rediscovered by the latest generation of hipsters.

Then, there's an ensuing mad rush for angular furniture, tiki torches and martini glasses.

They're French, tasteful retro-chic is a permanent state of affairs, not something cyclical. Running out and buying a cigar and a Squirrel Nut Zippers CD in the Anglo-American sphere is the diametric opposite of Esquivel or Nouveau Vague.

It's also a "permanent state of affairs" at my local Starbucks, where this drivel is piped over the sound system all day long while bitchy Jewish soccer moms browse Facebook on their iPhones.

Nothing against Eddie Vedder but does Pearl Jam have a better version of this? A bit past their prime here perhaps...

Seriously, check out Keith Moon in this vid. It's not just that he's probably the best drummer ever (next to John Bonham), I just want to hang out with that guy.

PJ has covered a number of Who songs over the years. My favorite PJ cover of a Who-related song is easily Let My Love Open the Door.

It's Nouveau Vague, not fucking Jewell - Starbucks and twenty/thirty somethings with more-money-than-brains don't do irony or self-parodies. Self criticism for you.

to be fair, Pete Townsend is synonymous with The Who.

heh, Pete did a few a duos with Eddie... err, that didn't suck too badly.

This is The Who... don't you forget it... off Who's Next, easily one of the best albums of all time.

Idiot, is it? The gloves come off.

Pete Townshend solo is not The Who. The Who died when Keith Moon died, just like Led Zeppelin died when John Bonham died.

"Who-related"?

I think you're related to a slab of concrete without rebar, that's what I think.

BTW -- how good would The Who have been if Pete had learned more than two chords in his life?

Angus Young thinks Pete's music is simple.

Flyovertard who drinks Rice Light, smokes light cigs, weighs in at a buck-forty, and lives in KC while thumping the bible is cracking on everyone else (also a bunch of pasty fucks) for their inability to dance?
