'Safe'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
GHOST IN THE MACHINE! Spirits in the Material World, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, Invisible Sun, Hungry For You, Demolition Man, Too Much Information, Rehumanise Yourself, One World, Omegaman, Secret Journey, Darkness??? Come on! Those are great songs that come together as a great album!
Plus, French lyrics!
They're my favorite band of all time.
I didn't know that. Though come to think of it, "The Boy With Perpetual Nervousness..."
Did they ever release the cover songs they did in Something Wild? ("I'm a Believer," "Before the Next Teardrop Falls")
Somebody should rip those off the movie if they haven't.

They did not, David. I remember them doing "Young Americans," too, but it's been a while since I watched that movie.

And also Bowie's "Fame". Never released.

So you pro'lly like Luna too, right?
I was bummed when they broke up. But they had a long, productive career.
When I was googling The Feelies, I discovered that I have all four of their albums but not their EP, which I don't think I've heard about before.... Also, I saw them live at least once (awesome show) when they toured behind Only Life.

shrugs They were never more than a "like" band for me. Something about their sound just never clicked for me.
Now if you want to talk about a great run, the first four TALKING HEADS records are pretty impressive back to front, and the last four have a lot of good-to-great songs even if they aren't quite as awe inspiring a LPs. Plus they did one of the greatest concert films of all time.
And given what I've read about the bands internal frictions, I'm amazed they DIDN'T only make 4 or 5 albums.
And also Bowie's "Fame". Never released.
Hmmm, it's too bad we don't have any sound engineers around who could liberate a song from its movie surroundings...
The Feelies' first two albums were out of print, then re-released, and are now out of print again. I shoulda' snagged the re-releases when they came out, but no....
Fun fact: Georgia and Ira from YLT first met at a Feelies show at Maxwell's in Hoboken.

The biggest problem would be that I don't think any of them are heard in their entirety. Amazing, pivotal scene though - a renuion with The Feelies as the band (something I'd only expect from Jonathan Demme), plus the movie goes into the scene as one movie and comes out of it a whole different one.
