Well you gotta see this, Golden thing
You golden thing,
And when you get there better kiss me
Garbage piled up to the ceiling
Ashtrays shaped like asses
All this money and a golden thing
You golden thing, Hell, I got
Horseheads that I dance around in
In coked up anorexics
Got a tree and this golden thing
You golden thing, Hell, I got

Well you gotta see this, Golden thing
You golden thing,
And when you get there better kiss me

Do I detect a hint of Bo Diddly beat?

Yes! I think of Mary's Danish each time I hear this song. Fond 80s memories:)

Incredible band; I had the great fortune to see 'em 3 or 4 times back in the day. Live versions make this sound like easy listening. They were just fierce and pretty much tore the place apart. Nice folks, too.



Agree 100%. I've only seen them 2x but both were excellent shows; you described the vibe well.

Either I,m losing RP or it's losing me.  I don't know if it's a good idea to play everything.

There can never be too much Throwing Muses...or Belly for that matter. And, David Narcizo's drumming may seem simplistic on the surface, however, I feel it's well thought out...and unique.
 
Agreed! And I don't think he had a crash symbol in his kit (he would use an open high-hat).

No.  I guess The Runaways or The Slits could have that distinction.

Gotta play Panic in Detroit after this as the perfect segue...or maybe even Golden Years. Bowie either way.

I kind of missed them when they were in their heyday...but any group with Kristen and Tanya Donnelly should have been gigantic

Might I suggest writing your Representative and Senators; involve yourself in the process, don't spam an online music message board.

Perhaps you should go back to school and learn spelling, grammar, and manners. Go peddle your politics somewhere else!

Agreed about the 80's pop thing. My first thought was of the B-52's. Now why don't we hear more of them on RP. Anyway, I like. Rock-on RP!

Anyone heard Tanya's latest solo album, Whiskey Tango Ghosts? Spectacular. But it's a distant relativeof the Muses.....

This whole day has been filled with great songs from my design studio days. It feels like I have a critique coming up.

I'll differ from Knucklehead (appropriate!) this song does have a specialness, it was far more special in 1988 when there wasn't a huge rush to come up with a bunch of "chick bands". TM established themselves well as a viable band in my eyes. Wonder what Kirstens doing now??
Yep. I had the great fortune of being in Providence/Newport RI in 88-89 and was on the receiving end of all that specialness. Great band.

What the heck is "trendy" about a 12-year-old song?
