Used to listen to 100 Broken Windows over & over on cassette tape circa 2000! :) Brings back happy memories. Think I saw them live 6 times, every gig was rocking!

I have just finished reading "teach yourself Marx". I spotted something quite interesting that relates to this song Strawberry. Henry Marcuse was a student and philosopher of the Frankfurt school (A school of Marxist thought) and he wrote the book "One dimensional man". He believed that thought becomes one-dimensional as critical thinking and opposition are leached away by consumerist society. The video shows the band living in mindless repetition. Ahhh there's not enough room for letters..

Man, been trying to remember the name of this band for ages, so glad i found it. Forgot how much they sound like REM tho lol
@weaselhead100 5 жыл бұрын
Are you quoting someone else? I have never understood that comparison. Idlewild sound nothing like REM to me.
@sunshaped 4 жыл бұрын
Woody Woodlice they completely sound like REM. Roddy even sounds like Michael Stipe at many times. Even he knows they sound like REM...it’s not a coincidence...i think it’s what they were going for. I think this song is one of the clearest examples of the similarity. Not an exact copy of anything, just the influence is totally there. Like, listen to Losing My Religion after this.

@@weaselhead100 Only just seen your reply, can't believe you don't think they sound like REM, or at least this song definitely does, play it someone who knows REM but not intimately and i bet they'll never know the difference.
@redguerilla8248 4 жыл бұрын
@@sunshaped Glad someone agrees, in fact I'd say this is one of REM's best songs lol. Think it has something to do with the twin vocals like Stipe and his guitarist with the higher voice, also the sound of the guitar, this is like the era of "The end of the world" and "Fire" oh and definitely "Orange Krush(?)"
@sunshaped 4 жыл бұрын
Red Guerilla definitely, to all of that! In fact they were literally just saying this during a listening party on Twitter yesterday for this album, which i caught up with earlier. Both Roddy and Rod (singer and guitarist) said how much Rod’s harmonies and guitar work were similar to those of Mike Mills. When a fan commented that the song they were listening to at the time..i think it was Mistake Pageant...sounded a bit like REM, Rod said “ A LOT like REM” haha
