I DGAF what anyone says, I know that I lived during the greatest musical time - EVER! Does anyone think that kids today have anything near Soul Coughing? ....NO, the answer is no, they don't.
@@chestersmith2886 Yeah, Jon Stewart had the best musical guests of all the late night shows back then by far. I used to program my VCRs to record it every night. Kept all those tapes for years. I also remember seeing Marilyn Manson perform Lunchbox on Jon Stewart back when he was an unknown new artist. Satchel’s performance was pretty memorable too.

In a podcast last year, he actually revealed he attempted to reform soul coughing and reached out to the other members. But it was shot down pretty quick by them. He's now friends with Sebastian though.
Awesome performance. But why is Mike holding his guitar if he doesn't even play it throughout the whole song? Even the guitar part during the verse is from mark's sampler.
because if he sets it down and leaves it unattended he bass player is probably going to fuck with the tuning. soul coughing was a tortured band where neurotic drug-addicted mike doughty constantly battled with the rest of neurotic drug-addicted band. doughty wrote a book check it out
@@whatismindnomatter no doubt much of Mike’s problems with SC were of his own making. I’ve only met him more recently and he seems like a nice and sincere guy - probably because he’s learned some hard lessons in the meantime? Bottom line for me, as far as SC goes, is what did the other guys do after the band split up. There’s nobody who’s ever done anything remotely like the music of Soul Coughing, but you can hear some of it in some of Mike’s solo works.
Totally. One of my favorite bands, MD acts like he was the musical catalyst and tells stories at his show of how the other bandmates were mean while he was on heroin. Such a cool live performance but things bum me out about that guy.

Doughty is a national treasure. Ran backstage at The Mint in Los Angeles and introduced myself. Totally cool about it... rock on
I vividly remember watching this the night it was first broadcast.
Me too. So much great music on this show

I remember manson on there. Most memorable to me was quicksand and slayer
someone needs to write a book about sampling me sampling soul coughing sampling a recording of an audio book
Saw these guys do a great opening set for They Might Be Giants in Peoria, IL. Believe that was also early-mid 1995.
"You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You come down to this
Nerves are up and the eyes all screwy
Blood like a panful of boiling ratatouille
My muscles in a mess like a mess of spaghetti
Hack through the mess with a greased-up machete
Hang from the axles of a boxcar
Follow the dotted line like a steer to Chicago
But to the hooks of the Chicago man
And I said, well
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You come down to this
I get all tripped up -- my eyes turn to water
Rug burns from a shag rug, struck dumb in the presence
Polyester burns from a jacket rub the skin thin
Break down in a diner then I paid the bill
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You come down to this
Cashier toothpick stuck in the ground
Tiny lawnmower to mow me down
I could get lost in a lunchbox
Lie low in the mittens in the lost and found
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You come down to this"
duct taped ... duckman
4 great guys in their own stuffs, and a great ensemble. so love them.
A perfect live performance. Well, I don't know for sure that it was perfect, but it's the best I've seen.
I don’t think it was ever meant to be “perfunctorily perfect” which was totally a beautiful aspect & part of the beauty of this.
So perfectly imperfect
That was great! First time I saw that one.
The one downvote is from Mike Doughty
In a podcast last year, he actually revealed he attempted to reform soul coughing and reached out to the other members. But it was shot down pretty quick by them. He's now friends with Sebastian though.
@@Everclearfan86 To be fair, Doughty wrote all the melodies and lyrics. The band gave him hell pretty often.
Glad to hear hes friends with at least one of em, and he tried
EF86 Got a link or an article for it?
his solo stuff is far worse.
Yuval Gabay laying shit down...
Yo G it's the same beat
@@SuperKamio “Nah G, we already have a song with that there beat.” lol
Oh the Yuvality!
Awesome performance. But why is Mike holding his guitar if he doesn't even play it throughout the whole song? Even the guitar part during the verse is from mark's sampler.
Mike plays some notes with his guitar, but only few.
because if he sets it down and leaves it unattended he bass player is probably going to fuck with the tuning. soul coughing was a tortured band where neurotic drug-addicted mike doughty constantly battled with the rest of neurotic drug-addicted band. doughty wrote a book check it out
@@SuperKamio I heard some tales of this.

All of a sudden, a wild Jon Stewart appears.
OMG!
I saw these guys open for Jeff Buckley in Hollywood on this tour. 1995
Supposedly a month after the live show they did in France and Mike is wearing the same damn shirt as before. Aint that weird?
I wish I could find the music video for this but I only ever watched it during Beavis and Butthead
Look into the future... Donald Trump will be president in 2016. 1995 Jon Stewart says NFW! SC so fucking great. One of a kind.
Song of the millennium...…..
That host looks familiar, where do I know this guy?
jon stewart
UPN wow fogot about them
funky jazz
Why does he even need the guitar? He never plays it threw the song and the chord is just a sample.
a few seconds later ... :pissed
They mean well
Wish they had a dj
There's a medical disorder where people can't hear music and 4 people have it.
Too bad they were caught on a stage holding live instruments and microphones.
@@BiffChunksteak he is talking about the dislikes, you seem to have something personal against the band, aint it kid?
ah the super Jew
Not sure if this is a band of musicians performing a song or a band of convicts performing forced labor.
