I remember this album coming out particularly Rip her to shreds, their sound was so fresh and exciting, my favourite album of theirs however was the follow up plastic Letters. Great review as always
Can I come hang out with you guys? People that actually listen to entire records (devotion to vinyl will do that)! Your musical wanderlust is pretty remarkable. Looking forward to your reviews of the other "bands with girls" Sean hinted at.
What I've always wondered about this channel is how and who does all of the album selections for each show because you two have awesome taste in music and I've been enjoying just what artist you'll cover every show even if I don't know the album or artist it's still fun to watch
Thank you so much!! That means a lot to us :) Basically between Sean and I we have a lot of records, and we’re just going through them (pretty randomly) here. There are definitely some things that are more “his band” or “my band” but we cross over on most :)
Love that first Blondie. I love Sean's perspective about genres and that Parallel Lines was many people's exposure. I was about 12 when PL came out but wasn't aware of the X Offender album until maybe a decade later. Their previous band - Stilettos - was very retro-focused and fun fact, they lost their bassist to Television. Fact check that though, I could be wrong. Love the fighting words about Britpop from Jenna. Jenna, I found your art page - unless I goofed. It's great. In an entirely different way, you explore some of the same materials methods I use, or at least it looks that way. I am much more hamfisted with my art but I loved looking at your stuff.
Again, maybe another fact check is in order for what I am saying but I think the two other women in the Stilettos were the same people who created Manic Panic, the colored hair dye. I think they had a shop in NYC too. I could be wrong. We Massapequa guys are known to be wrong sometimes.
Blondie didnt really break through in the UK till 1977/8 with Denis and Plastic Letters and this first album didnt get a lot of notice the first time round. Yet it was a remarkable debut album, anticipating New Wave but with a nod back to the likes of the Shangri-Las. And, yes, Clem Burke was a great drummer!
Another thought re the observation that Debbie Harry was one part of Blondie, not a woman singer with a backing band. I think the same was true of Natalie Merchant and 10000 Maniacs

Love this album man. No bad songs. So many great and catchy tunes.

Ah you found me! Lol thank you! I haven’t been painting much recently but I want to get back into it. And we grew up on Long Island :) 👍
@@statesandkingdoms Cool! Keep the great videos coming!

Blondie was great. They cut through the noise.
I'd love to hear you two review the first Nina Hagen Band record, I'd even loan you an album that was only played once.
Oh I would be interested! :)

Yes - true! Thank you :)
