[Introspective] PSB on BBCAmerica (DirecTV264)

[Don Ackerman]

I listened to the entire set this weekend. Thanks so much, Zvonko. You definitely took my ears & mind to a better place.

This BBC2 series was great and was very enjoyable. Lots of great reminders and inside looks into the PSB & those who know them. While listening, two thoughts came to my mind that I had to share with the group:

1. Rent was originally a punk song? Has anyone heard that version?

2. I thought Bilingual was ahead of its time. The PSB say in the interview they deliberately avoided repeating themselves and avoided what was 'popular' at the time. I've wonder if that impacted their 'popularity' in the mainstream. 
I think that was obvious to us. We know they loved 'mixing it up' and did it so easily. 

I've been torn for a long time about that fact. I've always wanted everyone to enjoy the fun, but deep lyrics, and the killer beats. But I've also loved it for myself and the fans on Intro. We are "in" on a great secret, a great band who makes great music. We're so fortunate!!

Have you noticed that the PSB are counter-culture, too? They follow their voices and passion. I respect it!

PSB forever!
Don

There were a few minor issues with the sound quality in the files I shared
a week ago.  I have replaced them with much clearer files from a different
source (320kbps) no skips this time.  They are in the same Dropbox folder,
here are the links again:
