@Evan Hodge thanks, but what I was trying to say was not about audio quality (and you are right, it does sound a wee bit tinny, by todays standards) but it sounds like a song that was written today. Cheers
me too lol, well not 30 years but got my tape 1996-1998. about 15 years ago found another gem on youtube thanks to an old mixtape (and google and youtube..), "I'm straight' such a great song with a cool video too :)
This is timeless. This is from.. the sixties? 70s?noo, it's 80s? Is it brand new today? A bit of Mink DeVille, cup of Bowie and layer of Ray Davies with a toss of Joy Division. Love this. I can't believe I'm just hearing these songs!
These videos you've made of The Modern Lovers' first album are great. Even without actual footage of the band, they've very evocative... That album must be one of the best Rock albums ever (also because of John Cale's production) and with these videos you've done justice to it and a terrific job... Thank you!
In 1990 I was given a mix tape and this was the first song. I never knew who it was and thought it was the Velvets. Only found out this year because someone else posted a link. Thank you
I copied this song from my public library over a decade ago, Not until today while gardening, did I discover the power, the adrenaline of "She Cracked." The video is intense, also.
Cale's production certainly relevant, but more so is that Jonathan was a Velvets (and Stooges) fan, which is why he wanted Cale to produce in the first place.
You obviously don't know what the fuck you're talking about, I like their music but they're not doing anything the velvet underground, the doors and the stooges had already done before them.
+hamuhamu Everything happened organically. There's no source or originator to punk. It was a convergence of society and styles. You could name bands and artists that were influential all day. MC5. Death. The Dictators. New York Dolls. Suicide. The Punks. Television. The Bad Seeds. Pere Ubu..just to name a few. Quit talking shit about who knows what.
Just imagine, drummer David Robinson, of The Cars, and keyboardist and guitarist, Jerry Harrison, of The Talking Heads, were once members of The Modern Lovers. Hear any Cars, or Talking Heads in this track? Hmmmmm....

All the band members were Harvard guys, I believe, except Richman. Harrison went on to join Talking Heads which had a similar composition, fronted by a weird arty-poet guy. Of course, Talking Heads was crap next to the Modern Lovers. Real bummer that Richman totally disowned this work, calling it pretentious. And he went on to make those quasi-children's records. I saw a short video a while ago that had Richman explaining how he'd pick up hot BU girls at the Museum of Fine arts. It was filmed right by one of the outside walls of the museum. Forget where I saw it. Some DVD extra maybe.
How could he call the Modern Lovers pretentious? This is honest, raw, wonderfully made music. Hospital, Roadrunner, I'm Straight, and Pablo Picasso are some of my favorite songs ever
The book "The Boy Looked at Johnny" (which is great) has the whole sad tale of Beserkely Records screwing up the release of the 1st M'Lovers record, and Richman's disavowal and his degeneration into a sap singing crap like "I'm a little areoplane". IIRC.
@@concatinate Thanks, that book sounds great. I think the macho mojo Richman projected in the original Modern Lovers may have been a channeling of a Harvard attitude since all the other band members went to Harvard. Just a hunch. The original Lovers were godhead for sure.
Gotta say I really don't care for all the modern technology, I think it's separating people. My wife set up an Alexa thingy in the basement for me, this was on my mc5 playlist. Finding this gem made my day!

@@Soundeagle3456 JR is so anti-hippie one can miss it. JERRY HARRISON deserves credit as anti-hippie pro-punk pro-new wave musical icon. MODERN LOVERS nosedived when he departed to TALKING HEADS. TALKING HEADS was a household name say 1978 - 1983 in the English-speaking world.
This is totally Amazing. Thanks a lot for share it . Do you know from where these images came or who shot it or when? Is it a clip originally made for She Cracked or it is a footage from another movie? Excuse me for all those questions.

@@camera0o0 @camera0o0 Bollocks, get your facts right. There were two recording sessions in 1972 in LA, the first produced by John Cale for Warner Brothers, the tracks being Roadrunner, Pablo Picasso, Astral Plane, Old World, Someone I Care About and She Cracked. The second session was produced by Allan Mason and Robert Appere for the A&M label, the tracks were Modern World, Girl Friend and Dignified And Old. Jonathan Richman couldn't make up his mind which record label to sign with, they eventually signed up with Warner Brothers in 1973 and have John Cale produce their upcoming album. Unfortunately the tensions within the band lead to Richman wanting a more mellow sound compared to the demo recordings (there was no mismatch between Richman and Cale, don't know where you got that misinformation from). In 1974 the band split up, but Warner Brothers released the original demos in 1976 as TheModern Lovers lp. So in future do some proper research instead of spreading fake facts.
it's a straight edge song, the first in fact. Also you have to admit the hippies were getting real annoying and childish, this type of music was needed urgently.
@@Antartaca Lol it's not supposed to be ironic at all, Jonathan was completely sincere in this era and would later disavow the music he made back in the early 70s, he was immature and did have a "holier than thou" attitude, it's one of the main reasons he switched his musical styles from loud rock music to softer acoustic children's songs. This stuff was proto-straight edge, Richman was completely against drug use and alcohol, but the way he would sing about made it seem as if those who engaged in that behavior were beneath him which is kind of similar to the self improvement scene going on today lol, funny because the song also mentions "She self destroys necessary to self enjoy, I self-develop, necessary to self-help".
Anyone know any details of the film clips, like who it is in the film, I take it it isn't Jonathan Richman and the band, just asking as it looks like Debbie Harry in the fur hat, she's very pretty whoever it is.
Footage of 70s Manhattan rips at heart if one lives here NOW. Stsrbucks is now bohemian. Coffee replaced cocaine or speed. And this song is blueprint for Talking Heads forSmiths for Nirvana...and almost no one anymore plays such danceable sonics and almost no one evermore writes such wry lyrics. Thought I saw Warhol. Thought I saw cbgb and Max's Kansas City. Thought I saw possibility in the city. But I had to leave that girlfriend. She's out of her mind. I'm uptight.
it was the good old days and life was edgier in the city. k? we got our coffee at the deli or breakfast diner on the corner. "regular" in blue & white paper cups with Greek writing on them. we had that other stuff too and smoked cigarettes. it was awesome.
The songwriting has pace and specificity of a short story. LOU REED did more for that development in American pop music than is acknowledged. Top 40 radio could care less but some NEW WAVE bands and BOWIE continued the trend. Forget OH BABY LA LA...song bands created character and setting set to music informed by BOOKER T + The MGs. TALKING HEADS and X triumphed in this manner.
Well she cracked, I won't She did things that I don't She'd eat garbage, eat shit, get stoned I stay alone, eat health food at home! She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right Alright

The Modern Lovers used to play at our local teen center when I was in high school. They were really great.
I consider myself extremely lucky.

Pure Punk and Post Punk ...way ahead of time...
This is so new wave before it existed as a genre.
Jonathan Richman doing post-punk before punk was born!!
Modern lovers were genius in the pacing of their songs
This is timeless. This is from.. the sixties? 70s?noo, it's 80s? Is it brand new today? A bit of Mink DeVille, cup of Bowie and layer of Ray Davies with a toss of Joy Division. Love this. I can't believe I'm just hearing these songs!
And 80 percent Lou Reed/Velvet Underground
How can there be a touch of Joy Division if this is from 1972?
This band always rocked so hard. They had a wildness
These videos you've made of The Modern Lovers' first album are great. Even without actual footage of the band, they've very evocative...

Only found out this year because someone else posted a link.

Saw them 4 times, the best ever live
So instructive to later bands.
David’s drumming is unbelievable in this song.
Jonathan performed in Seattle in the 80's. One of my favorite shows ever!!
Lucky you ! Cool man.
Their first album is genius
the nyc of my childhood!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I was looking for this version for quite sometime. Perfect.
I agree with all the comparisons to the Velvet Underground, and that is most likely due to the fact that John Cale also produced this
Cale's production certainly relevant, but more so is that Jonathan was a Velvets (and Stooges) fan, which is why he wanted Cale to produce in the first place.
Amazingly ahead of their time. Invented punk and post punk in 1972
You obviously don't know what the fuck you're talking about, I like their music but they're not doing anything the velvet underground, the doors and the stooges had already done before them.
