<p>Primus/FNM were in my wheelhouse when living in SF around 91, fun nights out there, totally thrashed them to death though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>watch out for the Frizzle Fry LP reissues though, they're mixed so low they're basically fucking inaudible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>being an indie snob dickhead I always lumped them in with that Duran Duran era poppy bullshit but if you've got a top shit sound system, and a tiny wee mountain gorilla of a turntable cartridge, holy shit, watch out, that Big Chair lp was recorded in heaven.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>another "guilty pleasure" from that era is A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS. yes, you can have your Austin Powers laughs, fine, go on, I dont give a shit</p>
<p> </p>
<p>currently on, ISIS last one, "wavering radiance", more boring metal I keep coming back to. Split up in 2010 and then oops, <em>slight name reappropriation</em>, haha, wondering how their t-shirt sales have been going since then</p>

<p>I'd add Joe Jackson, Go West and Style Council to the list of "80s stuff that should be shit but is actually good"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You can't beat Power Station though, good old Robert Palmer rocking out in a suit like he's just come back from a business meeting ( and they had the guitarist and bassist from Duran Duran too of course, another to add to the above list. )</p>

<p>"I ran" is my favourite "80s" song. It's got everything you want in an 80s pop track, and when you add the video, it's a work of art. </p>

<p>Fuck i love Primus. </p>

<p>Back to TFF, Shout is a massive track, crank that shit up. </p> -

<p>I prefer "Space age love song". good old GTA Vice city re-introduced me to that track.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Primus are a quirky singer who sings about odd stuff who also happens to be a fucken amazing bassist. They're definitely pretty good but there's only so much I can take of them.</p>

<p>It's that kind of analysis, insight and thought out opinion that brings me back to the fern time and time again. Awesome stuff Timbo. :hi:</p> -
<p>Probably only a couple of you on here into this sort of music but I've been pretty much been listening to these guys exclusively for the last couple months.<br>
<br>
<br>
They've been around for well over a decade but only there last 3 albums have had an international release. Best band I have listened to in years. Really hanging out for them to announce some shows in Oz as they've been doing the US/Europe circuit heavily with rave reviews and now with a bit of a name for themselves hopefully they will check out this hemisphere soon. These 3 videos are from each of their 3 major releases, quite a bit of development between albums, I think I slightly prefer the darker earlier album 'Black Waltz' but that might be partly due to my recent state of mind, really is a fantastic angry break-up album! 5 angry death metal clown screams outta 5.<br>

<p>That's actually their best song ironically enough. "Sarah" and "Nothings gonna stop us now" are fucken abominations.</p> -
<p>Yeah I'm sure they wish they'd never done it... and feel it was totally not worth it.</p>

That was great , my mrs likes that song and I have banned it from ever being played or sung in my ute. I don't think it's the worst song ever though, ebony and ivory sucks more for example and sisters are doing it for themselves is pretty excruciating . -

<p>The beauty ( if that's the right word ) of music is that absolute crap has been around since it began. I despair hearing the auto tuned shit that plays on ZM when I'm flicking between the stations.......but then I think back to the 90s and the fact that "The Macarena" "Barbie Girl" and tubthumping" were all released within about a year of eachother......I'd honestly argue those three songs are worse than anything Starship ever did.<br>
