The Smiths South Bank Show - I liked them before I saw it, but I loved them afterwards.

Hearing Time of her time, Ride Carnival of Light in the background of Entertainment Tonight's interview with Tom Cruise.

Worse TV moment: a Grolsch ad with Dummy/Maxinquaye/Blue Lines sound- a-like background music, and realising a sound I'd grown to love had just died.

Best TV Moment: In retrospect seeing the Sex Pistols as a bairn and being scared.

Yeah, I was eight when Sid Vicious died and they showed a clip of the Pistols on the news. It seemed so violent and alien, I'm not sure I ever recovered from that initial blast of shock.

Have just heard Jim O'Rourke's version of 'Something Big' from 'Eureka' used on a British Gas advert.

There was an episode of X Files where Mulder is seein g all these ghost children . there is a nice song in the background. I somehow got it by accident from napster. Anyone know who does it? It sounds kind of sampley/keyboardey.

I saw an ad with Autechre's Clipper in it the other day. I think it was another VW one.

As I deliberately watch less of it than ever, I don't see how I can fairly and accurately comment here.

― Robin Carmody, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

A: Compared to WHOSE?
everyone elses

B: Compared to WHEN?
when we had one that worked

C: How would you improve it?
chuck it in a skip and get one that we can watch properly...

Cor - that was *funny*. It was like the conceptual / conversational equivalent of one of those mishearings-which-is-more-interesting-than- the-original that Nicky D was going on about.

thirteen years pass...

I just found out about "Sunday Night"/"Night Music" and the lineups on some of these episodes are insane - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_Night_%28American_TV_program%29.

Like:
The Pixies
Sun Ra
Syd Straw
Arthur Baker
Al Green
Sister Carol

or:
Bob Weir
Rob Wasserman
Warren Zevon
Artis the Spoonman
John Lurie and Nana Vasconcelos
Bongwater
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Modern Jazz Quartet

Did anyone actually watch this when it was on? There are clips and some full episodes on YouTube.

I remember seeing Pere Ubu when they were on, but I always forgot that this show existed and/or couldn't stay up that late because of school the next day.

― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 25 September 2014 17:03 (nine years ago) link

I used to stay up late for this. I remember Nick Cave playing and the members of Sonic Youth were in the audience.
