the soft boys

I have nothing profound to say except that a Soft Boys-based Pandora station produces good stuff, they are the best band to have ever existed, and I will gut-shoot anyone who argues otherwise.

"I...............wannna destroy you!" (said with maximum sneer)

Any fans of the Big Boys round these parts? I used to get always get them confused. Dead Boys too. Now I love all three!

The Big Boys are still legends in Austin, of course, and so many bands have spawned from their ashes it's ridiculous. R.I.P. Biscuit...

Soft Boys=great
Pandora's IPO=great

Pandora proves the golden rule: companies that dont make anything physical people actually pay money for are always worth a helluva lot more than companies that do.

I'm with ya, Willie - the Soft Boys are right up there with the Minutemen and XTC as my favorite bands of all time. I also have them as one of my Pandora channels, but have never found it to be particularly enlightening, however.

And yes, I'd consider myself a Big Boys fan, Nosepail, tho I don't listen to them all that often. Any band with Rey Washam on drums is worth hearing....

Soft Boys. Dead Boys. Big Boys. Fat Boys. Boys 2 Men.

Boys keep swinging.

...

I love the Soft Boys and usually name "Underwater Moonlight" as one of my all-time 3 favorite LPs. "Daydream Nation" and "Psychocandy" are usually the other 2.

...

You have one CD-R to encapsulate the Soft Boys. What's on it?

No bootlegs allowed. No "Vyrna Knowl Is A Headbanger."

Not easy pruning tracks off "Underwater Moonlight." It's like taking a cheese grater to human flesh.

No tracks off the reunion CD. Sorry. I like it, but it's hardly essential.

Underwater Moonlight, Double Nickels, and Black Sea are my top 3, Kay.

Shit, I'll hafta ponder that one-CD distillation of the Soft Boys. Not sure what from Underwater Moonlight, wouldn't make the cut, so that's half of it right there. Off the top of my head, I'd also include Pigworker, Leppo, Blues In The Dark, When I Was A Kid, Wey-Wey-Hep-A-Hole, Human Music....

It's interesting that yr heaping accolades on a title that was unavailable for many years.

It's still better than critics doing the same for the Beach Boys' Smile — an album that practically nobody heard.

Or that didn't come close to living up to its legend.

I was recently in play a game called RS game, I was there are a lot of powerful equipment, are bought with RS Gold". It took me only a week made a lot of Runescape Gold, if you also play RS, I can give you a lot of wow, let you also buy powerful equipment. Extra RS Gold can also get Internet up to sell.
