An Early Clue to the New Direction
From 1981, here's worst rock band in history New Wave flash in the pan Quaterflash with "Harden My Heart."
As is customary, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who divines the clip's relevance to Friday's Weekend Listomania.

ReplyDeleteInternal Organs?
Are there a lot of songs about intestines or livers or prostates?
If so, that might be a good category down the road...

Lady sax players? Shitty bands that Chuck Eddy lionized? Bands with fractions in their names?
ReplyDeleteChuck Eddy liked this band?
ReplyDeleteJeebus H Christ in a chicken basket...
In keeping with the holiday..... Independence Songs, i.e., Kiss-Off Songs?
ReplyDeleteSorry, it's got absolutely nothing to do with the holiday.
ReplyDeleteJust couldn't crank up the patriotic enthusiasm this year. And besides, last year I posted Springsteen singing "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)".
Can't get much better than that....
Most detestible post-Beatle bands?

Okay, it's been slow around here tonight, so I'll give it to you.
Best sax on a post Elvis pop/rock record. Obviously, the posting of the worst sax ever was a feint...
:-)
In any case, enjoy your holiday No-Prize!!!!!
I like that name, Rindy, though.
ReplyDeleteRindy. Nice, woody sound.
