I still have original vinyl copies of "Only a Lad," "Dead Man's Party" and their 1980 EP Oingo Boingo I purchased a gazillion years ago.

Danny Elfman has gone on to become a legendary score composer for both TV and the big screen. 

Always a great listen and show!

Wasn't this band the result of a movie or something like that?

Not from what I understand. They were a New Jersey band that got tapped to write the Eddie and the Cruisers movie songs, which happens to be the most famous music they made.

Great movie

Song about the youth suicide problem within the indigenous population in Canada. The album he put out is sung almost entirely in his nearly dead ancestoral language (which is just a sad reality on its own...thanks colonialism).

This song is in English, but it'sfrom the perspective of a parent who had lost their daughter to suicide. The trumpet solo at the end was a result of Dutcher asking the trumpeter how she would react to that kind of loss and express it through her play.

A couple decades ago I was in a band with this phenomenal violinist who had an improvisational teacher at one point who taught her about trying to carry out conversations she wanted to have but had trouble having because of the shell she was in. She and I would practice together and we would try to have those conversations...of course it was me on bass who was nowhere near the talent she was/is, but she pushed me to express myself through my playing and I gave her a moment to deal with the things she wanted to sort out and it was incredibly powerful. I wish those had been recorded, but in the moment you fail to see just how unique  and profound those moments really are.

Anyways, that solo brought me back to that personally, but also is a beautiful example of how emotions, unhinged and unfiltered, can be expressed through art. Btw, Jeremy Dutcher's catalog is a great example of that as well. Truly gifted composer.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
