Oh god the Whyte Boots are so great! That reminds me of another thing I need to find.

"Flip Your Wig" - Wayne County

Someone made a tape for me of songs from the Dr. Demento show --- one featured to men with terrible fake Joisey accents discussing putting things such as the Empire State Building up one another's butts.

there's gotta be some people out there who like tequila

The Roches -- "Winter Wonderland" and "Frosty the Snowman" off their We Three Kings CD. A laugh riot.

Rza to thread!

Alot of early David Johanson, both with the Dolls and solo.

― Charles McCain, Tuesday, 25 March 2003 21:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Has no one mentioned The Shangri-La's?

― Amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 21:54 (twenty-three years ago)

I was thinking that too, Am.

Velvet Underground - "I can't stand it any mowah mowah!"

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 22:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Has no one mentioned The Shangri-La's

That's who I was trying to think of. Man, I was racking my brain for the group I'd recently listened to where it was just totally apparent they were from NY. You almost think Morton would have tried to coach it out of them a bit more.

Jim Carroll Band - "People Who Died"

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 22:23 (twenty-three years ago)

FUCK, I was just about to say the Jim Carroll Band.

See ye An Adjustment to Society by Astoria, Queens' finest proto-hardcore band KRAUT!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 22:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Please: "Hangin' On the Telephone" by Blondie.

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 22:25 (twenty-three years ago)

WHat about Cyndi Lauper? I'm trying to decide if it really comes through in her vocals, or I'm just hearing it because I know where she's from...

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 22:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Anything by the Fun Lovin' Criminals.
Anything by Paul Simon.
Anything by Lou Reed.

Jonathan Richman to thread.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 23:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Isn't that a Bahston accent?

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 23:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Indeed.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 23:03 (twenty-three years ago)

There aren't enough thick New York accents in rock anymore. Can't someone at least affect one?

(nb: my own born-n-raised accent is pretty standard-American newscasterish)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 23:06 (twenty-three years ago)

I think Richman affected a NY accent a lot.

What about: Nas! (or is hip-hop too easy?)

― Amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 23:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, hip-hop's lousy w/ New York accents! Rock, though...

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 23:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Scott Ian?

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 23:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Billy Milano, for sure.

Awesome.

Oh god I reviewed that record for my high school newspaper! As if anybody besides a couple of my friends would have been even slightly interested. It's long ago traded away (just like so much else), but if memory serves it was pretty good!

Surly Joe 'You Want Mostud On Dat Boiga?'
