The band has a good sound. Too bad the cameraman is afraid of the stage.

@Y10NRDY The notes under this video say he wrote it. The official word is that he CO-wrote it, which makes more sense, because even though it's a good song, it's not quite as good as the music on any of the Go! Team albums. The horn lines are good - VERY Ian Parton.

@shonencello Good news: you have complete control over who contacts you and how much info you share about yourself on Facebook. Don't let that be a deterrent for you. Your project is too ambitious, too professionally done, and too important not to share on Facebook.

It's Valentine's Day, and I'm in love all over again.

Has it really been a quarter century? That makes this a classic. Where...does...the time...go.

Just bruised a knuckle playing air drums. The Bastards are back! Duck and cover!

@gottalovetheknife I had a chance to listen to 30 seconds of it on a Japanese web site. It is not the same version as the one I have on the Birds & the B-sides. I don't know which version is the original, but I like the Orange Sun version better, and I've never had a chance to listen to the whole...

Do the liner notes tell you who wrote the song?

@shonencello Yeah, anyone who thinks their cutesy, giggly, naive persona is for real, needs to consider who their tutors and mentors were: four VERY intelligent musical geniuses from New York who posed as dumb street punks with holes in their jeans, long before torn jeans were even in fashion. Th...
