The B-52's Time Capsule: Videos for a Future Generation
Title: The B-52's Time Capsule: Videos for a Future Generation
Released: December 7, 2006
Type: Movie
Taken in one concentrated best-of dose, it becomes evident what a coup The B-52's pulled off when they turned their own concentrated craziness into genuine hits. This is some of the weirdest stuff ever to make the charts, much less beloved by the masses. It's all here through the mad surf guitar of Ricky Wilson (and later Keith Strickland), the banshee wails of Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson, and, of course, the, um, well, let's say vocalizing of freaky Fred Schneider. "Party out of Bounds" with a "Rock Lobster" on "Planet Claire," or "Roam" over to the "Love Shack" in "Private Idaho." Whatever you do in The B-52's universe will at least be good, clean, perverse fun
