Chance, the DVD's theme is just punk. And a Velvet Underground DVD would be nice. By the time someone goes to work on those DVDs the best footage will be gone.

I've been a music fan all of my life. And I started listening seriously before the British invasion of 1964. And through all of those changes in music and style I've always had trouble with the names given the different genres.
And to top that off, my kids have different notions of what constitutes a given genre than my generation does.
Ask me about R&B, I'm likely to mention a Stax/Volt group, or an early Atlantic artist. My kids think R&B is some kind of hip hop or rap or such.
To me, Punk was Sex Pistols and such while new wave was Police and such. This line blurred with these genres (I think) because of their temporal and cultural proximity.
Anyway you look at it, they helped defeat disco and return us to rock and roll (the granddaddy of pop genre)
But what about Perry Como and Johnny Ray?

Genres really bug me too, because they promote preconcieved notions.
There's only two types of music- Good and Bad.

There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind.

When I hear the term New Wave I think of skinny neckties, tight pants, and cocaine.
Of course all these niches have their poseurs and bandwagoners as well as those who just happened to be standing there. I am not a huge Cars or Police fan but damn there was talent there. If I never hear another Motels track I will be fine. But I love Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, and with only 2 LPs (in the day) but Television is in my all time bracket -- "Marquee Moon" can be mentioned with the Beatles, Coltrane, Big Star, Hendrix, freakin' Bach as far as I'm concerned....
And "Yellow Pills' is a cool song.

Yes, I am resurrecting this thread. Anyone get into New Order's first album, Movement? It's really cool. I would call it a part of New Wave. Devo, B-52's, the one song I heard from Suicide...the Downtown 81 Soundtrack is really cool for anybody looking for some good art music...

Being born out of Joy Division, New Order would most likely be considered "post-punk". MOVEMENT really sounds like the band was attempting to make a third Joy Division album, but without Ian Curtis' vocals and lyrics (although Bernard Sumner made a passable effort at mimicking Curtis' style of lyric). "Dreams Never End" and "The Him" are especially good and are a logical progression from where Joy Division ended. With the single "Temptation", New Order finally broke with the style of the old band and found their new sound.

Evlis Costello and the Attractions. Best backing band ever. Steve Nieve man, it's like having Mozart in your band. This year's Model, Trust, Get Happy, Imperial Bedroom. Amazing stuff.
I adore DEVO. All of their stuff up to and including Oh No! It's Devo! is great, as is their new album.
Siouxsie and the Banshees. Siouxsie is one fine lady.
