Rush TV Updates: SLC Punk, Harvey Birdman, Yo La Tengo

Mon, Feb 27, 2006@12:52PM | comments removed/disabled

I've added a few more videos to the Rush TV page. First up is a scene from the 1999 movie SLC Punk toward the end of the film when Heroin Bob dies and Stevo flashes back to their teenage years at the funeral. Stevo and Bob are playing D&D and listening to The Trees. Bob questions the coolness of it all and of Rush. Stevo says "Rush is a very good band. Their music is very complex and the perfection.." You can watch it here.

Next is the "Blackwatch Plaid" episode (#10) of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law where the alert level in the office is raised to "Moving Pictures", the highest level, and the Moving Pictures album cover is displayed. You can watch the whole episode here.

And finally there is the video for "Sugarcube" by the band Yo La Tengo. In this video the band is forced by their record company to go to "Rock School" to learn to be rock stars. About 2 minutes into the video the teacher reads the lyrics to "Closer To The Heart" to an outdoor class while holding the "A Farewell To Kings" album cover. Watch the video here.
