Vintage B-52's~

Hip hop has got to go (sorry Rick)

"New" Country should be called Neo-Southern Rock

re: Oldies stations: Yeah after you've heard the same 50 songs over and over.

Satellite gives you a better selection (not much). Sirius has two noteworthy channels, The Garage and The Vault. The garage is obviously garage music but some of it consists of obscure oldies and The Vault tries to be what FM Album rock used to be.

On the B-52s.

What can I say? They rule! I like their song 52 Girls off the first album.

Do you know about the new Hard Rock Park being built in Myrtle Beach? There is a restuarant named after the B-52s, Love Shack Snacks.

I plan to go to Hard Rock Park because I am mad at Disney.

My gosh guys, thanks for all the responses about my B's. Pretty overwhelming. I love the post about being better than Zoloft. Yeah, I agree that listening to their music triggers some endorphin response at alot of my brains' receptors. I know the whole YOUTUBE mania has gotten out of hand but you gotta agree that it's the place nowadays to find what you want but I found some vintage B-52 videos from 1978. Should check them out. Especially "Give Me Back My Man." Party Out of Bounds re-mix is probably the best re-mix of all time. Thanks again guys for the response.

Thinking back, I can see where the B-52's helped start me down the road of collecting post-war stuff.

I grew up in a white bread neighborhood, in a white bread town, where the epitome of style was Colonial (or Mediterranean, for the more flamboyant types ;-) The B-52's were such a break from all that, and their look was so wild. I think that's what got me interested in MCM stuff in the first place.

Of course, the downside of that is the struggle to keep the living room looking like an adult's living room, rather than a college kid's, but it's a fun struggle. Plus, I have the knotty pine rec room to showcase the campy stuff. When you have a knotty pine rec room, you really don't have any options other than to go campy.
