Awesome news on the Spoons. Hope they include some music videos and tv performances.

I don't know if they will but my spoons website has most of the videos online (and most of the albums as well).

Wow, just got the Spoons DVD in and its amazing. Highly recommended for all of you music video collectors. The Toronto show sounds more like the albums but the Montreal show holds its own. Sandy is beautiful in the Montreal show. It's so incredible to get One In Ten Words, Nova Heart, Arias & Symphonies, etc. on dvd. Now if they would only release a best of videos and tv performance dvd.

I believe it is 2 concerts from the early, mid-80s. One in Toronto, one in Montreal. Not promo videos per se , although one song (?Smiling In Winter) was used as a promo.

The entire dvd is live. There are no promo/conceptual videos on there. [:(] The live shows are great though. It's the next best thing.

Since we have this Canadian wave of DVD releases, it would be cool if Rational Youth came out with a DVD.

that would be really great - although I have huge doubts about pro-recorded Rational Youth stuff...
Regarding the Men Without Hats one, it seems there is huge problems in delivering them, I have ordered mine via an European shop here more than 2 months ago + still haven't got it... can't wait to watch it...

Almost picked up the Spoons DVD yesterday. Saw it at one store for $16.49 and went to another shop to see what their price was. Went back to store A a couple of hours later and it was gone (they only had one copy in stock). Oh well, didn't want it that bad anyways

.

What they should release is that Platinum Blonde DVD that probably ready/mastered and sitting on a shelf somewhere.

I got the Payola$ and Pursuit Of Happiness DVDs this week. Both are excellent! The Payola$ features a recent interview with Paul Hyde & Bob Rock, and the Pursuit Of Happiness DVD features all of their videos from their Chrysalis albums (plus the original version of "I'm An Adult Now").
