The Stone Roses: Here It Comes (Live Video)

First off I have to get this out of the way. I cannot believe this was recorded nearly 30 years ago. Though their debut album which rocketed them into fame didn't come out for another 4 years after this was recorded, the track sounds really polished and close to it's final form (More...)

Bikini Kill: George Bush Is No Hero (Live Video)

If you have read Sara Marcus's book "Girls To The Front" she refers to Bikini Kill throughout and this show specifically. One of 15 acts to play that night, Bikini Kill from all accounts, wowed the huge crowd. I saw them a few years after this show at a club in Minnesota. (More...)

Bratmobile: Cherry Bomb (Live Video)

It's day 2 of Riot Grrrl week here at TSOI and it's a good one. Bratmobile were one of the very few bands that I always wanted to see but never had the opportunity. Truth be told, I was a bigger Cold Cold Hearts and The Peechees fan. (More...)

Amber Inn: Life Instantaneous (Live Video)

Amber Inn were one of those bands that came around just about the time I was getting out of my "emo" phase and more into electronic/indie bands. I bought their 7"s, but they didn't get nearly the love they would have gotten had they been released a few years earlier. (More...)

Universal Order of Armageddon: Visible Distance (Live Video)

TSOI generally isn't very needy, but we're looking for some help here. We're trying to track down the original taper of this UOA show. If you know anyone from the Nebraska scene who might have an idea of who shot this, drop us an e-mail or mention it in the comments. (More...)

The Charlatans UK: Sproston Green (Live Video)

I couldn’t help but laugh this summer when I went to my childhood home and found a The Charlatans UK advert cut out of an early 90's SLUG (Salt Lake Underground) magazine of their classic press photo with 'CANCELED' stamped across it. Attempting to see The Charlatans UK has been a decade-long running joke (More...)

Bauhaus: Kick In The Eye (Live Video)

This 1981 Bauhaus clip may have been their television debut. It's truly unfortunate that the performance is mimed, but the band still does a good job of still looking interested. (More...)

Pizzicato Five: It’s A Beautiful Day (Viva Variety Video)

Here's a great clip of Pizzicato Five lip-syncing their way through their single "It's A Beautiful Day" on Comedy Central's short-lived "Viva Variety" show. I used to watch Viva Variety religiously due to the plethora of great musical acts they had on the show. (More...)

Blonde Redhead: Bipolar (Live Video)

Last night I dreamt that I was interviewing Blonde Redhead. I think my restless night was based on guilt from not having purchased their new album "Penny Sparkle" which came out over two months ago. My project for the weekend is to track it down on vinyl so I can go back to enjoying guilt free nights of sleep. (More...)

Cansei de Ser Sexy: Fuckoff Is Not The Only Thing… (Live Video)

You hear about the sophomore slump with bands and their their debut record follow-up. I can't think of any band that it hit harder than CSS. Their self-titled debut did so well that it was re-released by Warner Brothers, but their follow-up Donkey generated absolutely zero buzz (More...)
