Proper Brat-Wave bubblegum Power-Pop from Juicy B & The Thunder Zone Band. If I say Deal With The Dream is catchier than an STD in Times Square circa the early 80s it's not to lower the tone, but because this shit wouldn't have sounded outta place in season two or three of The Deuce. Song surely woulda been a single if Juiceboxxx hadn't vanished entirely from the internet.

Let's be honest here - 70's New Punk Rock ain't a patch on 70's British Punk Rock. The proof? Even a third-tier U.K group of Coventry oiks like The Flys have a legit 10/10 gobshite Punk classic which bodies the combined discographies of the entire 70's New York scene other than Blondie, The Ramones and the one good Richard Hell & The Voidoids song. New York's alright if you like junkies with nary a decent tune in sight!

I'm hear for the FEAR jokes.
Was The Deuce good?
I liked it a lot.
@ Smell Rell Probably one of the best shows in the last 5 years. I liked it better than Treme.
It's by far the best thing Simon and Pelecanos have done since The Wire innit.
Haven't seen Generation Kill and The Plot Against America yet, but it's a lot better than Show Me A Hero and Treme. I do have a bit of a soft spot for Treme, seeing as it's set in New Orleans and it has many cast members of The Wire.
I'm a bit sad so many TV shows at the moment are dominated by identity politics. So many bone dry shows aimed at providing the most difficult viewing experience possible. At least sprinkle some humor in now and again.
Best show of 2020? I'm sayin' season 2 of What We Do In The Shadows.
Ok I will try it
Haven't seen What We Do in The Shadows yet, but it looks fun. 2020 wasn't a very good year for shows yo imho, 4th season of The Crown is pretty good though, haven't finished it yet but first 7 episodes have been consistently good. Also liked The Great.
Cosign series 2 of WWDITS
Juiceboxxx should bring back theboxxxreport.
