Comment:
This volume fudges in a couple places...the Fingerprintz song is actually from 1979, but sounds very proto-new-wave to me, so in it went. The Game Theory song is an early '80s song re-recorded on better equipment and released on a best-of anthology in 1990 (but probably recorded in 1989, so there). So I'm not anal enough to exclude these tracks, but I am anal enough that I feel I have to explain their presence. Sigh.Feedback:
Oooh! Brains choice is amazing! Good stuff, esp. Guadalcanal Diary and The Reivers. You must be the king of 80's.
Oustanding, my friend. Lotsa fondly remembered songs from the 80s, like Altered Images, Weddoes, Game Theory, Blow Monkeys (saw 'em live once!), and the Jazz Butcher. Didn't the Brains do "Money Changes Everything" before Cindy Lauper?
*stands and applauds the inclusion of "Brassneck"* Tremendous!
Hey, A.D. 69, I heard about the Brains (and the Reivers) from *your* 80s mixes, actually. I would've chosen "Things Fall Apart" as the Guadalcanal Diary choice, but I wanted to use a song I didn't know as well.
