Off "Adam and Eve" album (1997). Click "read more" for the lyrics. www.allmusic.com en.wikipedia.org Lyrics: "someone said it's easy and as I sit here with my cup staring at it as if I'm some crazy poet when I'm not (I'm just a rock n' roll joe) (with tales of woe) and tears and fears it's only love that stops you from walking out the door tears fly somewhere close to remorse and sometimes its easy to all my friends I love I still don't find it easy to all my friends I love goodbye goodbye goodbye I've arrived sally likes it sideways sally, oh, sally don't ever change and please don't think me scary because I'm not, I'm just a rock n' roll joe with tales of woe and tears and fears its only love that stops you from walking out the door and tears fly somewhere close to remorse but sometimes it's easy to all my friends I love now I find this easy to all my friends I love, I love, I love goodbye goodbye goodbye I finally arrived and somewhere close to here goodbye, goodbye"

Hunters and Collectors - Run Run Run
Since there doesn't seem to be an official video for this, I thought I'd make one for those who have never heard this classic song. This is from their "White Label" Self-Titled first album from 1982. They were a bit more experimental in those days. I love the slow buildup in the 2nd part of this song. I know the video doesn't do it justice, but its the best I could do in a few hours... Hunters and Collectors should have been on Flying Nun...
DoubleHappys - Needles and Plastic
The DoubleHappys were Shayne Carter, Wayne Elsey, and "Herbie Fuckface". Herbie, a drum machine, was a lousy drummer, so John Collie was called in. The tragic death of Wayne Elsey lead to the formation of the Straitjackets Fits, but who knows what the DoubleHappys could have done...

Nocturnal Projections - Out of My Hands
This is Nocturnal Projections, the band before This Kind of Punishment, from their Another Year EP. This Kind of Punishment actually took this song, played it at 33 RPM, and created a haunting new song. If you don't like the montage, tough, I figured it was better than staring at a record going around and around...

This Kind of Punishment - Hermann Doubt/Horrible Tango
Since nearly everyone enjoyed the other TKP song, I thought I'd do another montage. This is "From the Diary of Hermann Doubt" followed by "The Horrible Tango". This is from their 2nd album called "a Beard of Bees". I guess all those (2 or 3) people who can't stand Peters' drumming must be right, since there's very little drumming on these songs!!! Chris Matthews (Headless Chickens) sings on "The Horrible Tango". I don't know how to categorize this music, but it certainly isn't average...
The Story of The Undertones - Teenage Kicks - Part 1
This is part 1 - I'll upload the rest if anyone seems interested... The story of legendary Derry punk band The Undertones is told here by DJ and famous fan John Peel. Based on his assertion that the single TEENAGE KICKS was the best pop song ever conceived, Peel trawls the Northern Irish city looking for clues to the band's down-to-earth attitude and limited ambition.
