If’n is my favorite record from the band. It’s my go-to mood booster LP. One of my top 5 favorite bands along with REM, Meat Puppets, Hüsker Dü (and by extension Bob Mould’s solo career), and The Chameleons.

Nice one!

So are we now pretending that Sound Of The Sinners doesn't exist?!?!?! Been throught the whole video and not a single mention of my favorite tune... Why this criminal omission??? In 1981 I got 2 copies of the album, one from Canada, like the American one, plain white sleeves and boring Epic label... and one from London with all the bells and whistles, insert with lyics, cartoons... 2 weeks later, on my 18th birthday, I was playing Hitsville UK and The Sound Of The Sinners on my acoustic guitar... C'mon man... give it all you got!

Insanely great album! Nice synopsis dude🍻

"When the Hangover Strikes" is Glenn's tour de force dawg !!

wow - too many cut in and outs. Took away from what you were trying to communicate.

It's been since I was a pretty young that I watched the original Star Trek, but after last week's episode I looked for somewhere to stream it. Unfortunately, or not, the only episode I could watch was the Captain Pike pilot, with the future Mrs. Rodenberry(?), as "Number One." Dave's comment from last week about the most beautiful women you've ever seen certainly held true in the pilot. I'll keep looking, you've piqued my interest to give it another go.

SHUT UP N PLAY YER GUITAR

Flag Day is my favourite song of all time... I'm in Canada, grew up on the 'Martins thanks to my father, and I've never ever heard them mentioned anywhere. So it's really nice to see a video like this up from the west!

Great overview of Syl's career. I bought "Too Much, Too Soon" when it first came out and have been a lifelong fan since. I met and interviewed Sylvain in Washington, DC, after his first album came out and he was a sweet, fun, upbeat guy who was really excited about the music he was playing. I met him again years later when they reformed the Dolls and toured pretty extensively ... still the same sweet, fun, upbeat guy with just a little wear from all the lean years. What a songwriter. What guy!

I was gonna say that the song Kokomo really rocks the kettle drum, but I looked it up… it’s steel drums. They even mention steel drums in the lyrics. Not the same as kettle 😅

4:28 As you hold the album, saying that they put the romance back in songs, it made me think the album cover looks similar to a Gustav Klimt painting. I’d never noticed that before. Great info in your vid, very tactful!!!

'A computer has taken over society, we must disable it. Again!'. What are the odds, Spock, amiright?

Cannot wait or Pt 2!

Larry Niven's A Mote in God's Eye was great... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mote_in_God%27s_Eye

A note about Shatner's toupees: These were very high-end, expensive hair pieces, bought and owned by the production company and they were replaced every season. Why were they replaced? Because they mysteriously 'disappeared' at the end of each season. It is rumored that Shatner had a bit of sticky fingers syndrome.

Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball divorced in 1960. Lucy bought out Desi's share of Desilu in 1962. Desi maintained an office on the lot for another 2 years occasionally consulting with Lucy and running his own independent production company. Desi's only connection to Star Trek was handing over his office at the studio to Herb Solow who had been hired by Desilu as VP in charge of production in 1964. Solow worked very closely with Roddenberry with the development of Star Trek and the sales pitch to NBC.

The Moonies were later

Mike's music was so good!

Beyond The rim of the star-light My love Is wand'ring in star-flight I know He'll find in star-clustered reaches Love, Strange love a star woman teaches. know His journey ends never His star trek Will go on forever. But tell him While he wanders his starry sea Remember, remember me

Pet Sounds is overrated as far as I'm concerned

Wish they hadn't of put the jam on side 2

Softly ro me one of my favourite songs.. best on the album for me

Minutemen were great live in Chicago in the late 70s

I have been a DEVO fan since 1979.

I loves me some Wes Anderson. This one is one of my favorites. What 70s kid didn't, at some point, want to be a marine biologist because of Jacque Cousteau? Or Pele. Or Evel Knievel? I know I wanted to and emulated all three. This is one I didn't need to go rewatch, as it's one I watch often. As usual, you've covered all the good stuff. Thanks, fellas, for another good breakdown. Rushmore is my favorite though, if not only for its epic soundtrack, but its sort of timelessness. Like it could exist in a few decades pretty easily.

Pelé did indeed start his career at a club called Santos!

Hey Fellas! I applaud what you are doing. Loved the Mad Maxx episodes and also efforts in trying to make sense of Steely Dan lyrics. I worked in the story department on Nightmare Before Christmas. Needless to say it was a dream job. Henry and some of us had problems with the areas you mentioned. Particularly Oogie Boogie's motivations and the lack of some kind of wrap-up with Jack and Santa's relationship. We actually storyboarded some alternative endings. During one of the few visits Tim Burton made to the SF studio where the film was being shot, the alternate endings were screened for him in the editing room. One included Dr. Finklestein operating Oogie Boogie like Ripley operating a load-lifter in Aliens. So instead of bugs inside Oogie it was the Dr. pulling levers and pulleys seated inside the burlap shell. Shocked at the attempt to answer these story questions, Burton stormed out of the editing room in a fury and kicked a hole in the studio wall plasterboard with his steel-toe boots. As you might imagine the alt endings were never mentioned to him again. If you ever want to do interviews ..... I'm game!

i was a young teen when I saw Sparks on Don Kirshner.......Kimono to Big Beat I thought was arguably one of the best run of 4 albums ever......not gonna lie....Introducing upset me immensely and I don't think I ever recovered fully..... I bought all these later albums but felt something was missing......the rock feel had changed......great job on this video...

I was 9 when it came out, but dont think i saw it for a couple years. That was the only time I saw it until I saw it was this week's topic, so watched it yesterday. It was much better than I'd imagined it would be. Given the schlockfest it inspired (looking at you "Piranha!") It was only two years after American Graffiti, but Dreyfus looks ten years older. I really enjoyed it a lot. Dave's comment bout watching movies more closely hit home, as since following PCG I've really put more effort into the smaller scenes and details. It really does make it a better experience. No real thoughts other than the three main characters were great, the shark was more effective when shown than I imagined, and thanks again for a great video.

"Here's to swimmin' with bowlegged women!

Well done, man. You really nailed it. But wait! What about “The Sound of Sinners”?

Great presentation, Mr. Hollis. You and other Love fans may be aware of the Johnny Echols/Rick Rubin interview (starting at 7:30 of the following clip: czcams.com/video/BycdGjVjtLU/video.html

I've been a dance DJ since 1980 and Freedom of Choice album was the very first record I've ever bought when it was released. I was a freshman in high school at the time so the purchase was a pretty big deal to me. My cholo buddy urged me to buy Prince's Dirty Mind album instead so he could copy it on cassette. NO! D. E. V. O.

""the same 10 to 20 rock songs" is unfair. I listened to those stations as well as WLIR/WDRE in the 1980s. In the 70s I had no record player or FM radio, just the AM top 40 stations feeding me crap like Muskrat Love. In 1980 I finally got an AM/FM cassette boom box and had to catch up with the history of good rock music on all the FM I could find, before those stations changed formats to pop or overexposed classic rock.

I am not at all surprised you guys got around to this flick. I saw it on Netflix a few years back and loved it. Offerman and Tweedy are personal friends, there's even an Offerman book where they went backpacking with George Saunders.

2:50. The drum machine did have a name: 'Echo'.

Jump cuts really need to be reigned in, but great review man.

One line that has gone from a chuckle moment to near parody, is when Fallon's character asks Stillwater "You think Jagger is going to still be doing this when he's 50?"

SPUD BOYS!

Dude I still find Devo songs I never knew existed and have never been disappointed!

My favorite Vic moment is when he gives a flourish when he mentions that Penny Lane is there.

i am a golden god!

Oof. Fellas, this one is so down my alley, if I start a comment I'll be going on forever. So, great job. I will say the only other movie I can remember a Zep song is Fast Times, which Crowe wrote about a local San Diego high school.

Yeah brilliant left field pop. I was a a fan from My Cassette Pet onwards. It still astounds me that they split up on the verge of US success. .

There’s a lot of poser blokes that claim they like this band or that. You’re definitely true blue punk aficionado and I truly appreciate this in depth look into a highly underrated, brilliant punk band from the original London scene. That first record should be as lauded as Never Mind the Bollocks.

Cool for cats is one of the horniest records I've ever heard

Wore out three cassettes of Singles Collection. Loves Crashing Waves is one of my all time favorite songs. Love Squeeze.

Thank you, I agree 100%. DEVO was legendary, they belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

So, i am in a bar and college baseball is on. The leadoff batter in thegame steps up to 5he plate, and his name is Eli Serrano. A guy at the end of the bar yells out, "Serranos at the dish!" And looks around. Nothing. So during the next commercial, i go and grab the stool next to him and ask if there's any score in game yet. He says no. I introduce myselfand he repli3s that his name is Kevin. I wait a frew seconds and then ask Kevin? Why weren't you popular with the Chicago police department? Guy spins around and backhands me in the shoulder "Dude, you fucking got that?" I now have a new friend.
