What a band.

My first album was Life's Rich Pagaent and I was hooked from there.

The desert island pick? Damn that's hard. I think I would go with Murmur.

3 best:
World Leader Pretend
Exhuming McCarthy
King of Birds

Bow to the Kid.

What was your first album?

The Chronic Town EP. I was there pretty much since they broke out of Georgia. I saw their second show in New York City (Thanksgiving 1982). They were my band during the '80s and early '90s.

What would your Desert Island album be?

Document, without a doubt. Their songwriting was at its peak, and they were still a rocking four-piece band, not just a studio confection.

The first 3 tracks that pop into your head?

It's The End Of The World As We Know It
Radio Free Europe (preferably the original Hib-Tone version)
Find the River

Dogsbody and Minor Functionary At: Artist Expert: Richard Thompson and related

From 1983, this may have been their first national TV appearance - on a kid's show. Apparently there was an audience Q&A earlier in the program and one of the kids asking the band a question was a very young Adam Horowitz, aka Ad Rock of The Beastie Boys.

Jesus, they were young...and dig the high '80s fashions in the audience!
