Customer Review: Random Sub Pop happenings.
Basically, Sub Pop are the lable that brought you bands such as Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden etc… they were THE Seattle lable who released this video/DVD. It’s just a collection of music videos… mostly live clips with the music overdubbed. HEY! Sub Pop didn’t have money to waste on stupid music videos hardly anyone would see!
Customer Review: sub pop
if you are thinking of getting this dvd for a taste of some early style grunge music then i very much recommend it. it not only has some of the big names nirvana tad and mudhoney, but it has the more underground bands such as the fluid, dwarves (very funny)and seaweed. the music is very unique as every band is different style eg: nirvana and tad = heavy rock walkabouts = country rock mark lanegan = acoustic rock dwarves and mudhoney = funny video rock my personal favorite is tad (wood goblin) as most of it is live and you get to see how great this band is live, and i also like the nirvana in bloom because it is in early days and the song and video just rock! but if you want to get this dvd for nirvana it is not worth it (unless you are a hardcore fan), i would recommend the live tonight sold out video. overall it is a great dvd and well worth the money if you like seattle music

Kings of Pop

Customer Review: Second Best - I think not
You can tell that HomeGrown aren’t 100% serious from their bling-writing and mocking title “Kings of Pop”. While known for their hit “You’re Not Alone”, there are many tracks overlooked on this album. Coming from, no doubt, the best new-skool-punk-rock labels, drive-thru (New Found Glory, Alister) homegrown prove themselves to be worthy of the label through their opening of “Tomorrow” and songs such as “Give it Up”, “Cannot Stop the World” and “Love You, Not” (wittingly titled). Half joking, half serious - this is deffinetly a great album to buy if you’re into any band from Blink-182 to Jimmy Eat World.
Customer Review: Possibly The Best Drive Thru Band??
Everyone hears about this album from their first single off this album ‘You’re not alone’ and that song is just a taster of what to come, not only are these guys extremly funny live but they write catchy songs which every adolscent teenager can relate to. The title ‘Kings of Pop’ is Homegrown’s funny sense of humour making fun of the title they have been given in the name of pop punk. At least they can accept they are pop punk which is something most bands hate to admit and opt for the emo label instead but with songs like ‘I Love You Not’ and ‘Kiss Me Diss Me’ its hard to ignore their whiny voices and simple melodies. Possible the breakthrough band on drive thru in 2003/04!

Pet Shop Boys: Pop Art: The Hits-Music Book Customer Review: All the best…
This is the ‘greatest hits’ of the Pet Shop Boys. There are several versions of this collection with minor variations and extra tracks, so be advised to check the listings carefully for the song-selections and tracks. Some include a book (most of the PSB Japanese offerings) with lyrics and such, but sometimes that is the only difference.

The first of the discs of this ‘Greatest Hits’ for the Pet Shop Boys contains 17 tracks (Pop), and the second 18 tracks (Art). For those who are die-hard fans of the Pet Shop Boys, this is a must have, but, for the most part, those fans will find it is in many ways an already-have. The tracks are remastered, but given the high production qualities of most PSB discs generally, there isn’t a great deal to be gained from this. There are two new songs, Miracles and Flamboyant (one on each disc), which are both wonderful (and, interestingly, the addition of two songs to the ‘greatest hits’ compilation matches their performance with Discography, which also had a ‘best of’ with two new tracks added).

There are the major songs and single releases from all previous albums, so this serves both as a retrospective but also as a handy all-in-one collection spanning the history of the Pet Shop Boys; from that perspective, if you were to have just one CD from them, this would the one. The songs are not in chronological release order (as Discography was), but rather seem almost randomly arranged; all songs but one from Discography are here, with an additional collection of tracks from the later album releases that reached the UK top 20. The division between ‘Pop’ and ‘Art’ is subtle, and any lifelong fan will have his or her own impressions as to which songs should fit into which category. The ‘Pop’ side is more disco/dance music, whereas the ‘Art’ side is a little more sombre, and the lyrics a little more complex. On the other hand, some songs, such as ‘Love comes quickly’ would easily qualify for either designation.

This collection represents more than 20 years work on the part of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe. For the first several years of that career, they were famous world-wide, and quite a staple in the dance clubs and video programming in America and elsewhere. The first singles collection ‘Discography’ represented the beginning of the decline of 80s style dance music in America, but the music descended from this type remained strongly popular throughout the rest of the world, as the sold-out concert tours of the Pet Shop Boys everywhere except North America attests to. Many of the songs on this ‘Pop-Art’ collection will therefore be new to audiences whose interest in the Pet Shop Boys ended the hits from the ‘Behaviour’ era.

The bonus disc offers remixes of songs from the other discs, and tracks from B-sides and other tracks from the ‘major’ albums.

Pop-Art is a must-have for anyone who likes dance music, disco, electronic music, 80s music, the Pet Shop Boys, or who wants to have a complete music collection, but only one version is likely necessary.
