QotD: Should've Seen Them Live

Which band or artist which is no longer performing or alive would you have loved to have seen?

The one and only fabulous MBV. I've heard stories. But most of the stories are about how people ALMOST went, and didn't, or maybe used to know someone who did.

I remember reading an article in MAGNET a few years ago (it was a big issue devoted to the shoegaze era) where a guy told a story about seeing them live. During the 30-minute extended-jam of "You Made Me Realise," the sound got so BIG/LOUD/distorted that it actually made him VOMIT.

To me, it just sounds like love. So yeah.

Hey Kev-- forget about the follow-up. How about reunion tour??

Vox Hunt: My Favorite Soundtrack

Audio: Show us your favorite movie soundtrack.

I hope this isn't too twee, but I love Yann Tiersen's score in Amélie. Ooh that rhymes. I actually heard "Si tu n'étais pas là" today at lunch, sitting next to the carousel in Bryant Park. Wolfing down a baguette.

I might as well let my francophile freak flag fly.

The whole reason, the raison d'être in fact, that I came to love it was that I heard the Third Eye Foundation remix of "La Dispute." It was like I had heard the song somewhere before and couldn't put my finger on where but anyway it was really freaking me out and then I remembered. This track is from the album entitled I Poo Poo on Your Juju.
