Laurie Anderson - O Superman

Here come the planes...

Buy the mp3.

Renaldo & The Loaf - Songs For Swinging Larvae

A Teletunes staple and the stuff of nightmares. I saw this as a little kid and it probably warped me.

Awesome

I just noticed that my blog has two followers on blogspot. That alone isn't that interesting but one of them is former Teletunes VJ, Bonnie Burton! She was one of my favorite VJs, so I think this is pretty awesome. It appears she's written a few how to draw books and is working on a variety of projects that help sell both technology and Star Wars to young women.

Thanks for the follow Bonnie, if you're reading this. If any other Teletunes VJs/staff have an interest in this blog, let me know. I'd love to have some stories from behind the scenes.

Mojo Nixon - Elvis is Everywhere

Because he is. (there is no Elvis in Michael J. Fox)

Buy the mp3

Gwen Mars - Cosmic Dick

Believe it or not, this song got a lot of airplay on 93.3 for a while. Serious. The 90s were weird.

Buy the mp3, ya pirate!

Lunachicks - Edgar

Post-riot girl slammed into garage punk revival. The 90s underground scene was pretty interesting.

Joy Division - Atmosphere

Directed by Anton Corbin, who also directed the Teletunes staple Front 242 - Headhunter. He'd later go on to direct the Ian Curtis biopic, Control.

Purchase an Mp3 of this song on amazon for 99 cents.

Voice of the Beehive - Monsters & Angels

Great song, kind of a post Go Gos pop meets alternative rock, also I love the Nighthawks set. One of my favorite paintings.

Home Movies youtube channel

http://www.youtube.com/user/homemoviescolorado

Home Movies was kind of like public access cable, but on KBDI back in the day. It showcased the creativity of Coloradoans and featured some music videos by local artists too.

Foreskin 500 - Black Cadilac

Some crazy stuff there.

FM TV credits

Before it was Teletunes, it was FM TV. This was also before there was MTV.

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

the timelapse, particularly the reversed decaying dog corpse to living dog, always amazed me. years later when I saw NIN perform at Red Rocks, Trent closed out with Hurt and told the crowd "When I wrote that song, I never thought I'd be performing it hear, thank you." Pretty cool that Red Rocks was a goal for him.

The Cranberries - Zombie

Ireland's answer to britpop, i guess.

Underworld - Push (Upstairs)

Underworld is still my favorite electronica band from the 90s.

Pulp - Common People

I remember hating Britpop because I was all about punk rock and music sounding crappy at the time. boy was I wrong.

Skinny Puppy - Dig It

There's two things about this video, one, it was apparently rumored to contain footage of a snuff film and two, apparently the later released "Down In It" by Nine Inch Nails is kind of similar in sound. hmmmm.

Black Grape - In the Name of the Father

I wanted to post their video for Kelly's Heroes, but can't find a copy. Anyway, enjoy the Ryder brothers' second act. Sorry it's a pop up video. :(

Mad Season - River of Deceit

I think this was a grunge supergroup. Members of Alice in Chains and other Seattle sound bands.

The Catherine Wheel - Black Metallic

Kind of a shoegazy band that was fronted by the younger cousin of Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson. I dug how they both named their bands after medieval torture devices.

Love Spit Love - Am I Wrong?

I'm so old I didn't even know that this song had gotten popular via a crappy cover by some emo band.
