I SPY - Appliances and Cars

[Hensontheirishhound]

My sister made me a mix tape with I-Spy and Propagandhi when I was a kid. I've loved this band since i was 11. What happened to punk?

[craze3800]

Favorite song of 1994 and years after... and the meaning still holds true today!

Lucky enough to see them twice in '96

I love this song and Todd, but it's kinda ironic that he's still alive and it's being bought and sold.

"...To me the message is the most important thing.

Communication is more important than entertainment.

This music saved my life,

So i'll be dead and fucking gone before it's bought and sold

Just like appliances and cars."

Thanks for this song, I Spy!

[goby999]

On of my favorite 10"'s ever!! I like the I Spy side much better than the Propagandhi side.

I SPY

I forgot how great this shit is. Some of the best music ever made.

I've been listening to this band since I was little digging in the big homies record crate in the back room of a liquor store.. I think not only the scenario but also the message sent by this band changed my life forever. Since then I've played in numerous punk bands all with messages and all stayed true to my roots.. I believe this song is one of the best ever written in punk rock. Thanks for the post and the lyrics on the video.! Made my day.!

Fuckin awesome. I loved them back when I saw them in 96 & I still love 'em now. If you can get a copy of this album, pick it up. The I Spy tracks are amazing & the split side (even though not as great) is the best album Propagandi EVER put out!!!

[brujahelder]

This musick saved my life, so i'll be dead and fucking gone before it's bought and sold just lie appliances and cars!

[phukdeebiatch]

this song really kicks ass!!!! the lyrics are insane!!!!!!!!! love this band!!!!!

[luvrh]

This is what music is about...Great Fucking band!!!

[tandynfan]

saw them in lethbridge alberta when revenge of the little shits was still pretty new. i was amazed. insane drummer, the bass player did a summersault while playing. obviously they were a great band. .

[80sdave1]

saw them play with proagandhi in Matts basement [ex blindside/glorystompers].

One of the best basement shows I've seen

[boyce418]

Yea, I was fortunate enough to see I Spy play in San Diego back in the day, They were really raw........I wish I had footage!!!!! I Spy taught me a lot........and to be able to personally thank them after the show for putting out music that means something, meant a lot to me!!!

At least now we get to see Todd play with Propagandhi.......still trying to educate!

[PropagandhiFan]

One of the best songs ever!

[ElDingo77]

One of the best bands ever!!!!!!

[qcelt1986]

Anybody have any live I-Spy footage?

[Avarant]

Nah, I don't think there is any, but you can (possibly) still get the I-Spy collection cd (the only thing left) on Chris and Jord's label G7 Welcoming Comittee Records.

I got it, definitely worth it. Awesome cd.

[theosiris20011021]

@qcelt1986 I have the concert with ...but alive on VHS.

[Stevenpfo]

@theosiris20011021 Upload that shit! Would love to see that. Fan of both bands.

[theosiris20011021]

@Stevenpfo No idea how or I would. Sorry man.

[inca106]

brilliant song, and it brings back a lot of memories. thanks for posting it, and don't hesitate to post others

[Stevenpfo]

Don't worry, I won't freak out.

I don't think there are any live videos. The best you'll find is probably Todd playing with Propagandhi. Back when I Spy used to play it wasn't like now when every second kid has a digital camera at shows. :)

[inca106]

if you need a disclaimer before every post... maybe a different name would be a good idea? people might get fixated on that and miss what you're saying... what were you saying, btw?

[mitefiend]

I dont post alot, but this made me sign in and say, "this is real meaning, inside of real rock."

[carhernandez28]

this is the shit

[theosiris20011021]

Fucking legendary.
