Chrome: "I Meet You In the Subway"

[eyeago]

Does anyone know the lyrics to this track?!

[horseloverfatjr]

Really should of bought the Chrome Box while it was still in print and readily available. I'm kicking myself in the teeth for missing the opportunity.

[cordedpoodle]

Anyway Chrome was the greatest rock band of their era, a short but good time. Helios is still shreading.

[knightmare62]

Subterranean Modern - GODS, period.

[GeneGaudette]

The original masters of cyberpunk, godfathers of industrial noise. You'd never see something this interesting on MTV.

[juliano66]

Neat stuff like this back when hipsters we're kinda rare not a dime a dozen like now. The world seemed exciting and weird back then and Chrome was too.

[wall875]

The mystery has been deflated; I know what you mean - there was once a very specific feeling that being adjacent to the underground had generated. A plausible sense of 'otherness', a mysterious force that could not be quantified. Now, with every hipster I see scouring culture for the slightest shred of alternative interest, all I can detect is boredom and useless meandering. Anything to steer clear of the real work of mining their own brains for unique ideas. The underground has collapsed.

[Efrasnel]

Strange thing: in the past - circa 1985 - I wanted everybody to know this band. Now that they're more known I feel I let too many people in to the secret. But that's life for you...

[cordedpoodle]

@Efrasnel The underground is still out there, just harder to find since the corporations co-opted it. I think the truly creative musicians are less willing starve trying to build an audience. It's harder to get started now too. You can't really start up and expect to press your own records and survive.

[lovecumsinspurts]

You sound like old farts haha

[juliano66]

that's cuz we are---so is Richard Hell.

[lovecumsinspurts]

I wonder if Chrome whine about the good old days. My grandparents used to complain about how their music was better than my mom's. She did the same to me. Chrome rules, being old is a state of mind and you sound old. I don't hear Richard Hell complaining about how the mystique of the underground is gone. By the way, I'm old too - I just don't whine. The kids are alright!

[WashingtonBeUpInThis]

March of the Chrome Police.

[spiritualgunfighter]

Chrome were truly amazing

[Maskatron]

Classic song. Fuckers were very ahead of their time.

[zoranito]

yesssss, right into my eyes from the zombie kings....this was so good, and i feel so old...but never mind : )

[blikisus]

This is pure magic

[acidflower2]

The first few Chrome records and Simply Saucer more or less own this here sub-sub-sub-genre. Word. Thanks for this jewel.

[Faktory]
