My wife went out of town this weekend and we were searching for some road tunage for her and I came across a couple CDs I wore out a few times, but lost touch with:

Mathew Sweet - Girlfriend

John Gorka - Temporary Road

both kind of great songwriters that dont fit cleanly in any one genre

and both early 90s when my style was changing yet again :mrgreen:


found any old friends lately ??

I was hesitant to chime in here, because what I have re-discovered is really not very cool!

It's DEVO! I've listened to all of it, including Duty Now for the Future which was considered a sub-par second album.
They've still got a sense of humour!

Yeah, and I think Mark Mothersbaugh has even done a few movie soundtracks as well.

This will make you laugh - I saw them live last Thursday here in Melbourne!

It was a good thing, but they had aged a lot, one quite badly. This didn't bother me in the least,
but a couple of muppets hanging around outside after the show said they were shocked at how old they were.

Ha, yeah I think they were a bit older when they broke so they would be older than thier contemporaries of course ....

I saw a vid of Iggy and the Stooges on thier current tour and yup they look like dads --- which is cool and I think needs to be seen more
