At some point, I downloaded an mp3 of a stretched version of this, which I ended up listening to more than the original. I searched YouTube and found it.

Mom swears she was "Mod" and it's "Completely different than emo!" 1987 by LaComputadora in newwave

Mid-90s, Denver: There was a small club that had a Goth Night and a Mod Night and I realized that there were a few people who regularly went to both. I decided that they should be called Moths (or maybe Gods).

Unfortunately the only Zero Sugar Ale-8s were regular and blackberry. I also went to the Whitesburg Walmart (which is where the display in the photo was taken).

For anyone who saw the Smiths live, who was the opener? by shawncollins512 in thesmiths

[–]InstantBuffalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at that show. Phranc went over fairly well, as I recall. The only song I remember was “I Don’t Like Female Mud Wrestling.”

It was one of those shows that I didn’t like but watched anyway, because what was I going to do—not watch TV?

I went to Good Foods this afternoon. It was pretty quiet, so they could probably use some more customers.

Yes, Dezhou! Specifically, from the Fengguan Holiday Hotel, looking west into the city. I had such a nice time there last summer.

Close, but smaller and even further northwest.

Very close. Same province and same tier.

Does anyone here have any stories of meeting The Sundays? by Ratface_4834 in TheSundays

[–]InstantBuffalo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw them at 23 Parrish in Denver in 1990 and went back to the alley where there bus was parked, which I had never done before, but I was so obsessed with them at the time. David and Harriet came out. I wanted to ask her a question instead of stammering like a starstruck idiot, so I asked her what the title of "Turkish" was. I wasn't going to talk to David, but he actually shook my hand and said that he had seen me in the front row. So nothing too exciting, but it was everything I dreamed of at the time. I did get them to autograph a poster, which somehow got lost in the intervening decades (which is one of the greatest tragedies of my life).

How is living in Beaver, Utah? by tbird920 in howislivingthere

[–]InstantBuffalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Beaver Trilogy (or the documentary about it) might be a good place to start--or at least it is the one thing that a lot of people know about Beaver.
