B-52s: Classic or Dud.

i completely forgot bouncing off the satellites even existed until we were listening to a b-52s mix in the car the other week and Wig came on. What a great song.

Awesome.

“Whammy Kiss” live, sans rhythm box, rocks.

FYI, they're playing a one-off show at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago in November.

Was talking with some friends yesterday about (the lack of) Mexican food in the UK and that you don’t see e.g. tamales.

I mentioned the line, “Hi, my name is ricky and i'm a pisces. I love computers and hot tamales” from Song For A Future Generation and was informed there is a candy brand called “Hot Tamales” and now I’m not sure which one he loved. Any ideas?

I was just watching Twin Peaks and remembered that Julee Cruise joined to perform Cindy’s parts during her hiatus. Still doesn’t compute for me.

Not the candy. xp

Before the 1986 album Bouncing Off the Satellites was released, Ricky Wilson died of Aids-related illness, having kept his illness secret from all of his bandmates except Strickland until just before his death. “We saw Ricky get thin and asked, ‘Are you OK?’ And he said, ‘Oh, I stopped eating Mexican food.’ He loved Mexican food.

Thank you :)
