I host the XFINITY on Demand music/interview show “Boston Rock/Talk,” and write and edit which serves as a critical guide to arts and events around metro Boston. Since then I’ve freelanced for the Boston Phoenix, Boston Herald, Where magazine, Boston Common, Yankee magazine online, Time Out Boston, US News & World Report, the Cape Cod Times. I wrote about pop music and other arts for the Boston Globe for 25-plus years, with more than 10,000 stories to my credit before leaving in 2005. And it opened the doors to even more worlds. That punk (and post) period was a time of extreme excitement (friction, joy, conflict) that inspired me to write about what I loved. Yes, I had Slade, Mott, Bowie and Roxy to get me there, too. But that was OK: the punk rock revolution was around the corner, and that's where my musical taste locked in with many others, bored with corporate rock. My friends and team mates didn't quite get it.
#World for two new waves tv
Tense and creepy, it seems to concern this girl is watching a detective show on TV -getting off on the violence-but then it (perhaps) mutates into real=life drama, the girl realizing, “Someone scratching at the window, I wonder who is it?”Īs a high school baseball player growing up in Maine, I used to pump myself up for games by playing Raw Power by Iggy & the Stooges –the ultimate adrenaline rush. It’s a tersely constructed minor-key rock-reggae. “Detectives” was, if you will, sort of epic in the new wave, masterful in its restraint, almost Dylan-esque in its mysterious story and film-noir-like imagery. There are so many Elvis songs to pick from his first three albums, you could just about throw a dart and be happy with your choice. We tried to combine the ideas of “best” and “most impactful.” And, of course, we’re trying to instigate an argument.ġ0. “Watching the Detectives”-Elvis Costello Sometimes, we picked the best-known song-the “hit”-and other times went a little deeper to a preferred song. We also stuck to the late-’70s/early-’80s heyday.
Most of the acts listed here have at least a handful of songs that could have been chosen, but for this 20-song list we kept to the one-band/one-song dictate. (It also mutated into “new music” and later “alt-rock.”) It was a term you could toss around and people had a general idea of what you were talking about. For a few years, “new wave,” nebulous and vague as it was, worked. New wave bands might have crawled out of pub-rock or twisted out of power pop, edged in from the synth-pop field or rock-reggae terrain. Not just an angry blur or blitz, but bands considering topics rarely explored in pop music and bands that turned the beat around. “Punk rock” he said, “kicked open the door for bands like us.”Īnd what did Sting mean by “bands like us”? Well, you could debate that endlessly, but let’s say he was talking about bands that were most often then considered “new wave,” a term that was broad and sometimes used in a derogatory manner to imply “lame” or “watered down.” But at its best, new wave meant bands influenced or stimulated by punk rock, but perhaps showing a bit more diversity, scope and range. I got up a bit on my high horse, declaring the Police were not a punk band. It was backstage at the Paradise club in Boston after a scorching Police set. It was 1979 and I was in the midst of a good-natured tussle with Sting.
