I like arcade fire..but what the fig does it have to do with Rosebuds?

Chrissie Hynde has written many many great songs. However, this would not reach the top 50 IMO. That's how fantastic of a songwriter she is...

Goddamn I miss Luna! Proof that some bands only get better with age. Been listening since 1992..but when I hear their songs over and over they reveal more and more as they age! Lovely..really lovely.

Mary was a such a stylish gorgeous woman! Wow!

clouds got in the way..clouds rearrange

Blindness is Classic Fall. Been a fan since Hex and still I am excited to hear new Fall music. Seen them 20+times...always a mixed bag but mostly great. As for them not liking the states...he probably has a more rabid following here than in England. It's so expensive to tour a band these days....

Sun Ra was never conventional! NEVER! Tom you were wrong with that one....

John Grant performs 2 songs. Check out his former band Czars. Lovely stuff.

is this a long lost frogs song?

Stunning song. Aged quite well considering the late 80's recording techniques typically butchered pop music! I always come back to this. As good as Don't get Me Wrong.

Hideous video ; ) Lovely voice.

Chrissie Hynde could sing the phonebook and break our hearts! Singular and genius.

If I jerk the handle you'll die in your dreams.......

brilliant!

bullied at school? really? Imagine a singer like Chrissie Hynde being bullied? I think not. I fear the bully in that case. People like Mary are singular and march to their own drum beat. People like Mary & Chrissie are not weak women. c'mon.

Love Sally Timms, Jon Langford and John Cale. A trio that should take to the road! Mekons are not underrated! There are chapters in boring books on rock written especially for them.

How to look like you are an innovative artiste! The oldest trick in the book...rip off the fringe artists. The mainstream audience is too lazy and would never be so adventurous to know.

songs about Ray Davies....Chrissie said that in an interview. She found a picture of him in her purse......PS Chrissie Hynde is still amazing.

Check out Mark E Smith's tribute to CAN on 1984's The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall....."I am Damo Suzuki"

One of the most beautiful CH songs...."demand the impossible, everyone will be free, we'll walk down the avenue openly..openly!.." Take that christian right wingers.....

"You think I will...I know I won't"...still great after 20+ years.....

Fact: Most people have a hard time with the abstract. This was the 1940's! This is a post war experimental film. Most mainstream films of this time were big goofy hollywood productions. This short was a much needed cleansing for the palette. Teiji Ito's score, which I suppose was added year...

This woman can out-sing all those pop b*tches!

Roisin come back soon and show us what a true talent is...really are we comparing her to lady Gaga? Like comparing The Pretenders to Quarterflash....hahahahah

Chrissie says this song is about what happens when a child finds out his mother is a prostitute.

A wish is a shot in the dark when your coins down the well.......

Since Chrissie recorded Creep in 1994..it looks like this is qualified to be a classic.

I think people that require autographs are ridiculous and only seek to make a profit. Chrissie's career is late stage, but she was always like this which is admirable. we live in a nation of kiss ass celebrities that probably vent like this only after the fan has retreated. Kiss ass celebritie...

Chrissie Hynde and some Sex Pistols recording on the side while contributing to a Johnny Thunders record "So Alone"....in 1977

Chrissie Hynde is a genius.

"The floors are falling out from everybody I know"...Don't care what they say about the National....They are the soundtrack for beautiful losers everywhere......just gorgeous.

The backing band is Caetano Veloso's son Moreno's band...the other songs are much better. This song was always her weak point imo. She has written so many lovely songs. This one is just cloying.

If Blackberry brought you here..you are really young. This song debuted in 1979. I've only heard Chrissie Hynde being self deprecating about 2 Pretenders songs and those were "Brass in Pocket" and "I'll Stand By You"....you would never hear her dismiss "Private Life", "Talk of the Town, " Kid"...

They played this song 6 + years ago in Boston at Avalon. You could hear a pin drop. It was stunning. Chrissie has more confidence now and is a better singer than ever (I saw the originals). To all who think that that she is better when she is dishing than when she is wishing...I prefer her wh...

Eleanor is too cool for school. I love this woman and her phrasing. pop stars could learn a thing or too about subtlety from her.

Love the Fiery Furnaces, but this song is out of this world! Eleanor is an amazing singer. Too cool. Can't wait for the LP.....
