What's a favorite band that you weren't able to see live? There has to be some rules on this one, so here we go: - You must have been able to see them at some point, but didn't, for whatever reason - There's no likely way for you to see them live in the future, for whatever reason For me, there was a chance I could have seen Concrete Blonde play in New Mexico, but I only found out about the concert the day before, and there was no way I would have been able to make it up to the show never mind getting tickets. Also for me, there's bands I thought I'd never see which I've now seen four or five times, and bands that felt like they were right there which I never caught.

I love this little story about someone who painted band logo murals in his town. Pop Will Eat Itself, The Wonder Stuff, and Neds Atomic Dustbin: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93nyr62x24o The Size of a Cow from The Wonder Stuff is a great song, I need to revisit!

I'm sure there has to be a few other Mitch Easter and Let's Active fans in here. The entire IRS catalog of Let's Active albums is coming to streaming finally, next Friday 11/28. I am giddy to be able to have this all on demand on Apple Music at last!

This week's streams were a bit all over the years and genres. Heavy on live bands I saw this week, Bad Bad Hats and Shonen Knife, and my ongoing love affair with Ratboys. The two advance singles from the upcoming new album are insanely good.

I've been watching these Poster Children clips on Youtube - I've seen them live a dozen times and miss their bouyant energy: https://youtu.be/Gvk-fJBUOvg?si=dyHPNBDHpW25t5Ev I'd love to know your favorite band videos...
