Something by Sting. :evil:
Yes, I know. :evil:
It's what they're playing while they leave you on hold on the phone to the car insurance company. As if it wasn't bad enough. They're just trying to stop people making a claim, aren't they? :evil:

I remember seeing them play in some NYC club right around the time "Punk Rock Girl" came out. There must have been about 15 - 20 people there to see them. The club was pretty much empty, but they kept playing anyway. I thought that was real cool. 8)

I just found this cat, I like him.

Was that by any chance Club Nirvana, at 1 Times Square? I saw them there in about 1986, doing a showcase as part of the New Music Seminar. They kept playing despite a nearly empty room because they (or their label, I think they might've been on Enigma) PAID to be there.

They were doing "Bitchin' Camero" when I walked in. I think that was their "biggest" "hit" at the time.

I can't remember the club, but it was around the time "Punk Rock Girl" was their hit. At the end of their show they let everyone up on the stage to hang out and get autographs and stuff.

I looked it up - that would've been 1988. I saw them before that.

For anyone who's interested, you can get a FREE Punk Rock Girl paper doll at their website!

Club Nirvana was pretty cool. It was right in the building they drop the ball from on New Years Eve, with a splendid view of Manhattan, and was done up to resemble some sort of Hindu heaven, all hung in white satin and with waitresses wearing "I Dream of Jeannie" costumes. When I was there in '86, the DJ played our record (which was a big deal to a snot-nosed punk from PA)and then took me out onto a 14th floor balcony to smoke hash.

For a moment there it seemed the world was my oyster!

Hindu Heaven? "I Dream Of Jeannie" costumes? Are you sure this wasn't brought on by the hash you smoked? :lol:

It's worse than that, soulfinger. You're involved in an accident, you're all shook up, and they play Sting down the phone at you. It's just cruel. Psychological torture, I call it. :evil: :wink:

Today I will be mostly listening to Jim Moray.
At least, that's the intention. :)
