haven't viewed this dvd yet but i've been waiting for it to come out since
seeing it prematurely listed on netflix a couple of months ago. the fact that
they list the always great live PYLON as "The Pylons" makes me a little
suspect as to the quality of this thing and it would have been better if they could
have gotten the rights to footage of more interesting bands who played at the
club (maybe the "more" listed are these bands?). however, i still want to
see it as i really enjoyed my time spent at hurrah's, the closest cool club to
my grandmother's (uptown) apartment (where i mostly stayed when visiting the
city back in the day)—fun dancing to great dj's and some killer bookings, most
notably for me a new year's eve bill with au pairs, the mekons, and gang of
four! i truly feel lucky to have experienced that. (i'd also like some info
on the au pairs comp—42 tracks!—if anyone has it.)
btw, netflix lists another "live at hurrah[s]" dvd, this one from 2004 of a
1980 show by a fave of all true typicalpeople, young marble giants. i haven't
seen it yet either so can someone else comment on it?
typically,
