TV Party

While cruising down the highway with The Negative Creep, I happened to play The Misfits' "TV Casualty" and The Negative Creep thought it would be a good idea to put a playlist together with songs that have TV in their title. Our initial hypothesis was that the existing population of "TV songs" would be minimal and the quality quotient would be low. Well that's B.S.! There seems to be a never ending supply of songs with TV in the title. I was shocked at how good they were. Though I must admit there must be something about watching TV that inspires the hardcore punk crowd. That's why I started off my list with "TV Party" by Henry Rollins (aka lead vocalist and founder of Black Flag). Excellent tracks range from the politically incorrect but very humorous "Lesbians on TV," "My Room has a TV" by Thingy, The Pink Snowflakes "It's Snowing inside the TV Again," and of course Iggy Pop's "TV Eye."
