The challenge is to brave the waters and give us your thoughts. You know, on the tunes maaaaan. If you know who it is, don’t be the bad apple that spoils it for the rest of us.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
I realize that this has only a loose connection to rock but given the musician-father and the recent Clemen’s discussion… That and my incredible moral indignation requires me to post this:
Can you believe this?! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! I learned about this story yesterday and immediately went on a frantic web search to try and uncover as many of these despicable photos as possible. The search turned up THIS!
Good Lord! Unbelievable. With both of these images open on my 24″ computer monitor I remained ENGORGED IN OUTRAGE for a good four minutes.
MORE OUTRAGEOUS IMAGES AFTER THE FOLD!

Thanks to all the well-hung who laid their opinions on the table. Without further ado- The Urban Verbs.
stay hungry
From The Trouser Press:
URBAN VERBS
Urban Verbs (Warner Bros.) 1980
Early Damage (Warner Bros.) 1981Fascinating but tragically overlooked, Washington, DC’s Urban Verbs were an arty quintet whose lead singer was the brother of Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz. And therein lay the Verbs’ problem: while guitarist Robert Goldstein guided the band through striking modern instrumental pieces of depth and quality, Roddy Frantz’s urban-alienation lyrics, delivered in a fair approximation of David Byrne’s vocal style, typecast the group as second-string imitators. The Verbs’ records showed great potential, but this needless flaw prevented them from being taken seriously.
Mystery track #1 is Ring Ring from their first album and #2 is Frenzy from the same album.
More treats after the fold.

Tim Armstrong’s recent snub of our own beloved Mr. Moderator got me to thinking about how much I dislike Rancid. I don’t like the Rancid for lots of reasons but their blatant SoCal Clash routine is reason number one. I explored Rancid one afternoon while bemoaning that there would never be any new Clash music. I knew that they got compared to The Clash and figured that some B-Rate band heavily influenced by The Clash might be better than nothing. I downloaded Out Come the Wolves from eMusic.
What I found was not a band influenced but a band obsessed: Pupkin-Clash. Disturbing. It was as if they were hoping The Clash would break a leg so they could take the stage.

In regards to the Tim Armstrong All-Star Jam™ comments:
Comment from: Mr. Moderator [Member]
Gerry, I got the time to give this clip another view. It’s not bad, but I think I’d like it better if I could better see the women. That grainy, B&W Look of the video was cool at first, but I kept waiting for the Wizard of Oz-like moment when everything sprang into rich, vibrant color.
Gerry wasn’t talking about the vid precisely. I think he just liked this tune much more than he thought he would given that, you-know-who, is behind it.
