Courtney’s They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To: The Three O’Clock

When I was about 15 or 16 I put my best mod suit on and went downtown with my scooter boys to an empty room in an old warehouse and watched this amazing band with about twenty other scenesters.

San Diego was rumored to have had a strong md scene at the time so we all were under the impression that The Three O’Clock was an S.D. band. They were in fact an LA band and part of what was called the paisley underground which included Rain Parade and the Bangles amongst other 60’s influenced jangle guitar bands.

It just courted to me that the room was called “occupied space” and is now a sushi restaurant called Masu. They have the best salmon sashimi in the world. It’s true. I hope it survives the lockdown.

CTT: They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To – Groucho Marx

I’ve never before watched a Groucho interview long enough for him‎ to get past the old-timey schtick. This was a fascinating look into the psyche of the 20th century. Here’s a guy who’s been alive since the 1800s. He’s a very liberated thinker. Actually gets a few really funny ones in there too.

Perfect art pop project. This really makes me want a time machine. The dude who posted these said a friend of his owned this cafe which is cool.

He also mentioned that this is just before their first record came out.

At the end Fred says something and then says “I’m a waiter”. Classic. Uh, yeah. Not for long, Fred.

They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To: Devo

Devo. This was probably thee band of my life‎. Until the Dandys. They were even cooler than I knew. God I love the youtubes.

I particularly love their jealousy and ridicule of the “normal” middle class and rednecks. They are from Ohio so it makes al lot of sense now.

Incredible amount of thought in these videos. Bursting with ideas and energy and hot geek sexuality.
