A post from BJ<\/b><\/a> the other day (he mentions the song Homicide<\/i> by 999) made me think of one of my favorite films … Urgh! A Music War<\/b><\/a>. I lucked into my copy when a local video store went out of business and were selling all their tapes. Roger<\/b><\/a> and I spent most of a summer watching a re-watching this fantastic collection of early 80’s new wave and punk bands. The film runs a little over two hours and has live performances by 999 (they play Homicide<\/i>), Echo and the Bunnymen, The Police, Wall of Voodoo, Gary Numan, XTC, The Cramps, X, UB40, Steel Pulse, The Go-Go’s, Dead Kennedys and tons of others. I have friends that make fun of me for my “sad 80’s punk movie.” But can you get any better than Lux Interior from The Cramps with his cut-off leather pants and that usage of the microphone? The video of this film is now out of print. Hopefully, the video gods will see fit one day to re-release this classic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
