The Cure – MTV Rocumentary (Video)
I recorded this off of MTV around the time Disintegration was released. It's a half hour (22 min. without commercials) documentary of Robert Smith, the band and Tim Pope talking about the history of The Cure during the filming of the video for the song Lullaby. There's a lot of interesting commentary about Tim's longstanding video making relationship with The Cure as well as stories about the recording of Disintegration. (More...)
The Human League – Love Action (I Believe In Love) (Live Video)
Yesterday I came across a band called "Care Bears on Fire" and immediately thought "What the fuck is that?" Apparently they are teen band that has gotten quite a bit exposure through appearances on Nickelodeon. That's precisely what's wrong with kids these days. Take this Human League appearance on the BBC children's program "Multi-Coloured Swap Shop" back in '81. (More...)
Built To Spill – Untrustable (Live Video)
Built To Spill is one of those critically acclaimed bands that everyone seems to love but they've never struck me as being either great or terrible. I've seen them live a handful of times and they certainly aren't boring, but there's something about them that's never made me think "I really need to go out and grab their records." (More...)
Sinker – Slash And Burn (Live Video)
I don't think Sinker were fully appreciated in Detroit as evidenced by members of the crowd walking though the band mid-song to get to the door behind them. Here's a video of Sinker playing their song that was eventually released on the legendary 3/12/93 7" comp on Ebullition Records. (More...)
Sleater-Kinney – Sold Out (Live Video)
The quality of this video isn't the greatest, but it was a such rarity that you would find Sleater-Kinney playing tracks from their self-titled release during the "Call The Doctor" tour. As such, I wanted to post it for the die-hard fans. (More...)
Filth – The List (Live Video)
Filth just played a huge reunion show a month ago with another Bay Area old school punk band, The Gr'ps at the legendary Gilman Street. Rapid City, where this video was shot, had a huge affinity for Filth as well (More...)
The Make-Up – You + Me vs The World (Live Video)
After this week's earlier Nation Of Ulysses post we got a few requests for more Ian Svenonius. Here's a video from one of The Make-Up's early tours supporting their 7"s released on their own Black Gemini Records. (More...)
The Cure – Prayers For Rain (Live Video)
The ultimate 3 disc set of Disintegration was released this week in the US. I've been having a great time listening to all of the demos/outtakes/live tracks. Disintegration was the very first CD that I ever bought, but of course, I had to have it on vinyl (picture disc, none the less) and it's still one of my favorite records of all time. And here is a live clip from the Disintegration tour.
