Why does subby hate archaeology?

Ha, I played it and my 13-month-old started boogieing.

/cute

I did

Oooooo, The Bangles. I'll be in my bunk.

I always wanted to hit that little guitarist with the fist of an angry Horus.

/Not really. I always had my peener in mind instead.
//Subby
///Still wants her to Horus

Would bang.

They're playing a gig at the Roxy next month in LA. They still look pretty good:

Ah yes, Susanna Hoffs with those captivating eyes.
Would hit it hard, would hit it often.

The Bangles - A Different Light was the first cassette I ever owned.

Damn that little guitarist is still hot.

Disappointed in the lack of Susanna Hoffs pics in this thread.

If I had a time machine I'd go back to then and hit Susanna Hoffs so hard it'd generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to get me back home.

Awww geez. So Susanna Hoffs is her name. Just did a search and found this (new window). I am so in love now.

Knows how to hit it like an Egyptian

Hypnotic...

Yeah, I'd still pretty much crush that.

Robbie Fulks - That Bangle Girl (new window)

Funny thing is that, according to them, they all hated the song even before it became a hit. They knew it was one of those songs a band gets labeled with and would likely never get past. The record label pushed it on them anyway.

So, yeah, I guess they were right.

You guys are slippin.

/From 2006
//You're Welcome

fist...angry god...

Interesting, I never realized that a different chick sang each verse. They all sound the same.

//lot of happenin' mullets in that vid as well.

Didn't their bass player leave to be the head of the RNC?

/too convoluted?

Susana Hoff's still f*ckable. I'd do her...in the butt, where is tight and warm!

Susanna Hoffs from last month. She just turned 50 too.



Tasty.

Perhaps a video is more to your liking. (new window)

I see she's been doing stuff with Matthew Sweet from time to time. It's kind of funny to watch clips of them because he's all blown up like the Pillsbury Dough Boy but she still looks great.

Used to see Vicki Peterson play in the Continental Drifters -- that was a great little band.

Damn, I can't find Susanna Hoffs singing "Feel Like Makin' Love." Ho doggy, that was an...inspiring...performance.

Their acoustic version of "Different Drum" is really, really good. Link (new window)

Different Drum was written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees. Ignore the ego issues, and Nesmith was likely responsible for country rock and MTV (music video version).

Their Greatest Hits is surprisingly listenable. They're what a pop band should be.

On topic, hasn't at least one of them posed for Playboy? Or am I getting them mixed up with the Go-Gos?

Susanna Hoffs...I'll be in my sarcophagus.

i lol'd

1:54 to 2:00. +11ty

Heh. I thought the same thing when he was appointed but thought "keep that one to yourself."

That was so awesome.

I LOVED The Bangles growing up. Kick ass chick rockers!!! "All Over the Place" was my favorite album of theirs.

Great clip of them on Letterman circa 1984 (Hero Takes A Fall): Link (new window)

Um, I think I love YOU. A Mike "Wool Hat" Nesmith fact in a Bangles thread. Swoon...

My old neighbors used to cover this when you gave them enough booze.

Destroyed a song that was just awful to begin with.

OK, they're hot, but how pathetic do you have to be to be in that band and be the one who is basically only allowed to play the tambourine and whistle? They just need a token blond or something?

LOL. Came here for the Susanna Hoffs pics. I'll check back for more.

Mike Nesmith was responsible for country rock? Are you farking kidding? I like Mike Nesmith, but that statement is just ignorant of history and I seriously doubt that he would agree with you.

See what I mean about Matthew? He looks like he just got through cleaning someone's swimming pool. Sounds good, though.

On the subject of Nesmith, Vicki used to sing Some Of Shelley's Blues in the Continental Drifters. I like her voice -- not so precious the way Susanna Hoffs' is. Her voice (VP's that is) worked well singing with Susan Cowsill in that band, and sometimes the two of them would do duo gigs as the Psycho Sisters.

I lol'd at that. He does look like Meatloaf coming off the set of "Roadie", but yeah, it's hard to argue with the results...

subby shows age, grundel pays atention to real hot women, leaves forum.

Worst band evar musically. Hottest band evar sexually. The cognitive dissonance is tearing me apart, man.

/I saw 'em live at their peak. Holy Christ, they were awful. Yet, I couldn't take my eyes off 'em. I needed a Dan Ackroyd drool cup.

Listen to some Patty Smith, that should help move things back to the center.

I'd drink her Ming Tea.

/BBC-1! BBC-2!...

Still playing the same Rickenbacker she used in the video, even. Nice guitar.

/rest of you say "what guitar?

'I'd love to have it "off" with Susanna Hoffs!'

Pretty damned funny, nice find gowowen.


Their video though? I made to the first two seconds of them in the costumes and that was it.

"his dozen (or so) '70s LPs were among the most groundbreaking country-rock recordings of the era."

http://hbplmusic.blogspot.com/2009/01/michael-nesmith.html
"An often overlooked contributor to this movement was Michael Nesmith who, as early as 1970, was recording original country music with a rock sensibility."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Nesmith
"Nesmith has been considered one of the pioneers of country-rock (along with Gram Parsons) and had moderate commercial success with the First National Band."

"Here's a clip of former pre-fab four guitarist and country-rock pioneer Michael Nesmith performing his 1970 solo tune 'Joanne' as taken from his critically-acclaimed, if not world-renowned Magnetic South album."

and there are a few more that I won't trouble you with.
