"audio quality is terrible - really the only fun thing about it is watching the inmates get into it"
this, and how band members are perfectly at ease, i.e. brian gregory grinning happily all the time.

it's all on Youtube & video.google.com & stuff.
Saw them a couple of years ago and they're now embarrassingly old. Imagine your granddad in a bikini: that's Lux on stage now.

*wonders what's going on with Poison Ivy* :-(
She ruled at least as much as Lux did, IMHO.

downloaded a crappy rip of the Purple Knif Show and this is still the best shit ever

OTM. (There's no better rip btw, I've only ever found shitty sounding copies - that's almost part of its charm)

they should just have used the original. no doubt some ad exec felt it needed to sound "modern".

Maybe they didn't get permission or a cover was cheaper?
― StanM, Sunday, 6 May 2012 22:19 (1 year ago) Permalink
that's possible. there's a great human fly cover by sonovac they could have used.
