Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
Yeah, makes me wonder if it's going to be a high-priced card like secret rare Charizard from Plasma Storm.
Everyone likes OK Go for their trick shots but I actually like them for their music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZB_rGFyeU
So college is interesting. It's pretty awkward since I'm younger than like 90% of the students there.
Focus on the truth and not the feelings when you set out to learn. Remember that the road to hell is always paved with good intentions.
All true! And over time I learned that just about everything they teach is politicized or charged with politics. Thanks for the input!
Y'know Jimbo, when I was seven years old, I sat on a banana. And of course that completely changed my life.
Oh no, that's not smoke, that's steam. Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmmmmm steamed clams.
