Who wants to see The Cure and Joy Division for less than two bucks?

[Wat_Tyler]

(of course, I'll have to get the old TARDIS up and running)



(and yes, Joy Division would blow The Cure off the stage)

1. Mandy H was teh_r0X0r

Actually I've no idea who that is.

I wish my old handbill for the Velevet Underground's 4-night stand at La Cave in Cleveland was handy - I'd love to post that. But I'd have to A) find it and B) take it out of the frame to scan it.

2. I've got an album recorded during that stretch.

Great show, even though the sound quality is for shit.

6. I think I've seen that bootleg at WRUW

Is it the one with the B&W cover and the badass version of "What Goes On" that made it onto the VU boxed set? That's one of the most sought-after Velvets boots this side of "Mainline."

[Magrittes Pipe]

15. Yep, although it's now been legitimately released.

At least in Paraguay, or wherever the fuck it's from.

4. I dug this up from a Cure site while doing some research.

Some of the posters are pretty intriguing.

3. Fuck that! Gimme NO DICE!

[Wat_Tyler]

5. AND JOE LUNG ON THE SAME DAMN BILL!!!!!!!!!!

[Fenris]

7. I had no idea Ian Fleming was a post-punk opening act.

I mean, I love the Bond novels and all, but Jesus, that man must have been ancient by then.

[Wat_Tyler]

11. He just got back off touring from Russia, with Love I believe.

[Fenris]

12. I saw him play once with Goldfinger.

During his heroin period.

[Wat_Tyler]

13. Yeah, but you were the only person there.

It was for your eyes only.

[Fenris]

14. Well, it was during my earlier, wilder days...

You only live twice, as they say.

[Wat_Tyler]

16. I saw him on that weird quickly-cancelled Music show.

Her Majesty's Secret Service.

[Fenris]

17. Did he perform with Thunderball on that show?

[Wat_Tyler]

18. Nah. He was on with Live, and Let Die.

Whatever happened to Let Die? Terrible name.

[Fenris]

21. Almost as bad as Diamonds Are Forever

I was never into glam-metal.

[Wat_Tyler]

22. Something witty about The Spy Who Loved Me.

There you go.

[Fenris]

23. I think we've exhausted the Bond jokes.

I'm glad it stopped before one of us had to say something witty and creative about "Moonraker".

[Wat_Tyler]

24. I was dreading 'Octopussy' myself.

[eyesroll]

8. Oooh! Skid Row!

WE ARE THE YOUTH GONE WILD!


(assuming that is the same Skid Row -- when's that from anyway?)

[Wat_Tyler]

9. Every town has a band called Skid Row. This ad's from 1979.

[eyesroll]

10. Ah. OK then.

About 10 years too early...

[XNASA]

19. Mmmmmmm..............Hamburgers.

And other hot and cold snacks, as well.

[Wat_Tyler]

20. Hamburgers are often hot and cold, I find.
