Grosse Pointe Blank

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

Director George Armitage's Grosse Pointe Blank (which probably should be called John Cusack's Grosse Pointe Blank, since he not only starred in it, but also co-wrote and co-produced it) is set at a ten-year high-school reunion in Grosse Pointe, MI, in the present day, that being the spring of 1996. Thus, ex-Clash member Joe Strummer, credited with ...

I Just Can't Stop It

I Just Can't Stop It (1980) more music like this

by The English Beat

I Just Can't Stop It was a late arrival onto the checker- boarded scene, the Specials, Madness and the Selecter had all beat the (English) Beat to the punch, but luckily this wasn't a race. Besides, the band had already primed the pump with a trio of Top 10 singles -- the double A-sided "Tears of a Clown"/"Ranking Full Stop," "Hands Off She's Mine ...

What Is Beat?

What Is Beat? (1983) more music like this

by The Beat

Little surprise that the Beat (or English Beat, depending on what country the band found itself in) quickly achieved a cult status that has yet to die. A perfect blend of Madness' warm, winning spin on ska and the early Specials' tenser, darker sound, the septet created pop/rock/ska fusions that were instantly memorable and rewarded repeated ...

Live Phish, Vol. 06

Live Phish, Vol. 06 (2001) more music like this

by Phish

Recorded less than a week after the two shows documented on 1999's Hampton Comes Alive, the sixth volume in the Live Phish series, and the last in the first batch, documents Phish in populist, crowd-pleasing mode. The long, esoteric jams are nearly absent from the three discs presented here, with only three songs clocking significantly over the ...

Alterno-Daze: Origin of the Species -- 2000 BC To ? (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

Rebound's Alterno-Daze: Origin of the Species -- 2000 BC To ? attempts to offer a brief summary of underground, proto-punk, punk and new wave staples -- sort of a punk primer to kids turned onto alternative music through Nirvana or Green Day. Since it's a budget priced compilation, it shouldn't be surprising that it clocks in at 12 tracks (ten on ...

Dance Craze

Dance Craze (1983) more music like this

by Various Artists

For ska's second, punk-fueled incarnation, this live set (the soundtrack to a concert film of the same name) does a fine job of showcasing the bristling and limber energy of the genre's top groups. Taking all of the intensity but little of the tropical fluidity of the original Jamaican ska from the first half of the '60s (the English groups were ...

Back to Mine (2003) more music like this

by Tricky

Predictably unpredictable and unnerving as all get-out to sit through, Tricky's contribution to the Back to Mine series still manages to be an absorbing listen, despite all of the slammed-together transitions and wild stylistic jumps from track to track. Tricky's picks continually flit from old favorites of his to new discoveries and projects -- ...

Sound of Ska [Time Music] (1997) more music like this

Sound of Ska, subtitled "16 Black & White Classics," is a budget-priced compilation of recordings by artists from the U.K.'s 2-Tone ska revival label of the late '70s and early '80s. Only three acts are credited: Bad Manners, "Ranking Roger of the Beat," and "Pauline Black of 'the Selector' [sic]." The origins of the tracks are not stated on the ...

Beat This! The Best of the Beat (2000) more music like this

by The English Beat

Though they ultimately skated far away from the "Two Tone" pigeon-hole that yawned for other bands of their ilk and age, the English Beat were certainly pursuing similar demons as they rose out of hometown Birmingham in 1979, with a ska-punk collision that matched social politics with sociological awareness, then turned the whole thing into a non ...

Now, Listen! (2001) more music like this

by DJ Food & DK

For those lucky few able to tune it in or dig up the session CD-R's passed from fan to fan, Coldcut and DJ Food's Solid Steel program has been, bar none, the leading light of the turntablist underground since its 1988 inception. As freewheeling as American crews like Invisibl Skratch Piklz or Beat Junkies but able to cast a much wider net over the ...

Just Say Sire: The Sire Records Story (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Asking a dozen music fans about their impressions of Sire, a label founded by Seymour Stein and Richard Gottehrer in 1966, would likely yield several dissimilar responses. Sire was the label to boost American punk bands like Ramones, Talking Heads, and Richard Hell & the Voidoids, only to call them new wave in an effort to make them seem less ...

SLC Punk (1999) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

SLC Punk was a movie that concerned a punk scene in Salt Lake City, UT, so it would make sense to have the soundtrack filled with a whole bunch of punk bands. Of course some big names are scraped up, like the Exploited, Fear, the Stooges, the Ramones and the Dead Kennedys to contribute some of their "hits," but whoever had the idea to include a ...

Live (1992) more music like this

by Special Beat

The current popularity of ska, reggae's sweaty, galloping predecessor, can be traced directly back to several albums of the early 1980s by the Specials and the Beat (known in the U.S. as the English Beat, in order to distinguish them from a San Francisco band of the same name). Sadly, those bands broke up after only a few years, but their legacies ...
