80s ROCK records you're feeling

nah dude, it's porn. newnudecity.com. although those books were arguable at best.
What a decidedly non-transgressive career choice.

Lung Leg was supposedly a stripper in Queens after he movie "career" ended and there are all kinds of rumors that she thought she was haunted by a weird German spirit or something like that. from wikipedia:
"[Nick Zedd] claims that she then became a stripper in Queens, New York and became insane, obsessed with an imaginary German villain named "Ninny" who was trying to spread Communism and destroy Christmas."
 
yeah man, i actually had occasion to "chill" with lung leg once... i was about 12. and she fucked me up forever. like to the point that i will still have dreams about her. she would not stop talking about some piece of roadkill she picked up in california and wanted to make into a hat. i was in a room full of psychos and everyone was like 'ok you're fucking gone.' i was told kern used to dose her just for the fuck of it.

80s rock.

I think that's the epitaph for this thread...

how the fuck did you get to hang out with lung leg when you were 12?
 


All this talk of Sonic Youth & no mention of "Sister" (or did I miss it?).

Probably my favorite of theirs.
 
The Clean
David Kilgour's solo efforts are firmly in the melodic pop vein and are appealing in their own sort of way... If we're talking NZ's Flying Nun label tho', I'd nominate Martin Phillipps and the various incarnations of the Chills for consideration...

Huge co-sign on the Bush Tetra's and the first Sonic Youth EP. I wanted to start a No-Wave/Post-Punk topic, but this ha salready covered it. Now, my favorite... The Dance!

In Lust was their first album. The singer, Euginie Diserono (sp?) is hot as hell and sounds hot too. However, their second album "Soul Force" was the banger. Alas, I can find no pictures of the album, but I did record a radio station copy (has some skips) which you can download Here: The Dance - Soul Force (tracks 2, 3, 6, and 7 being my favorite).

i ain't talkin' "greatest of all time" or some shit. this is just what i'm digging at the moment.

is "wilder" vastly different from the first teardrops album? i used to have that and it kind of sucked. i'm a big fan of julian cope as a writer (and as a person) but never really thought too much of his music. perfect example of how you can have a totally killer record collection but still make boring records.

its not a million miles differant from Kilimanjaro.

its less guitar oriented, more rhythmic, has a synewy white funk underpining of electronics and icey freshness.

i had it in my collection for about 6 year before it finally grew on me.

cosign on cope though.. love the dude can't listen to 95% of his output.

love teardrops exlodes though.
