This is great. The whole band.
Debbie Harry, though. Perfect.

It's kinda funny to see Clem Burke working so damn hard, but be so low in the (muddy) mix.

It's funny when that proggy keyboard bit comes in at 0.40. it's like an entirely different group has gatecrashed the record!

The polite applause at the end...
I’d be rushing the stage, throwing myself at her feet!

Like a lot of the American "New Wave" bands, they had their "art rock" side.

Their first two albums are better than Parallel Lines ISN'T THAT SO?

Probably! (I haven't heard any of them in ages, but I was never a Parallel Lines fan.)

Their first two albums are better than Parallel Lines ISN'T THAT SO? In some lights, yes, certainly the first one is, but then againI would say that, being an early adopter and someone who already loved those girl group sounds, ramshackle productions and arty NY pop - the same seam the Ramones were mining – as a whole. I looked them up on wiki because I could not remember which tracks were on which album, and was surprised to see how many of the songs on Plastic Letters were down to Jimmy Destri. The second side of that was a bit weak. They were a different band on Parallel Lines and Eat the Beat, but started to decline noticeably on Autoamerican.

I haven't heard the debut, can't remember anything about the second. Parallel Lines is one of the greatest albums from that era.

I've been listening to a fair amount of late '70s and '80s supposedly new wave and it's struck me how keyboard players will infiltrate a good song with some kind of unneeded signature keyboard bit. Jools Holland was a particularly bad offender. He added some to Squeeze's sound, but detracted just as much. I take part of their influence being that keyboard players are probably the most trained and knowledgeable members of a band and claim superiority that way.
