This is an old post but I forgot how funny this is:
My friend Michael and I were discussing the sheer genius behind ESPN Page 2 writer Bill Simmons' take on Journey's "Seperate Ways" video:
My friend Michael and I were discussing the sheer genius behind ESPN Page 2 writer Bill Simmons' take on Journey's "Seperate Ways" video:
- "29. Journey - Seperate Ways: A recipe for bliss: Take one of the cheesiest-yet-enjoyable bands of that era (Journey), bring them to an empty shipyard, have them play invisible instruments and lip-synch the hell out of their best song, throw in some ridiculous slow-motion closeups and multi-picture edits, and have a hot girl with a bad haircut walking around for no reason whatsoever. And if that's not enough, lead singer Steve Perry gives one of the greatest performances of the last 35 years -- he throws himself into this thing like DeNiro or Pacino. It's incredible. Everything about this slays me. If somebody gave me five minutes to sum up the '80s, I would just show them this video and be done with it."

This is more a comment on your blog as a whole really :)
I quite like the whole thing, only thing I'd say is it'd be cool if you could post a short mp3 clip of each band you feature or something cause I'd love to be able to hear the bands you're talking about without having to have a hunt around the internet first :P. Anyway, really good work, I'm impressed by your dedication to keep the blog up to date :D
I'm just setting up my own indie music blog now, I'd appreciate any comments/advice/suggestions you have for it!
