MIKE VIOLA WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

on tv...
Ding Dong... You're Wrong, a long-running Manhattan public access show, is currently not on broadcast television.

In the meantime, check here for clips from the show, complete with the dropped frames and horrible audio you've come to expect from online media.

Get Quicktime if you don't already have it.



The Sheila Divine - Hum
The Sheila Divine, "Hum"
Live from the Mercury Lounge, NYC.

The Sheila Divine performed at the Mercury Lounge many times in their storied career, and each time, the crowd went crazy for their hit single "Hum." You might think I only include this clip from a bygone band because of the tremendously satisfying "Jane and Dollie" girls-sub shout out, but you're wrong. TSD frontman Aaron Perrino's new band Dear Leader recently played the Merc, and when he rocked their hot single "Raging Red," I was transported in time to a scene not unlike this one, you see. Also, who doesn't want to hear her name on a stage?



Sloan - People of the Sky
Sloan, "People of the Sky"
Live at Valentines, Albany, NY. September 1998.

Andrew Scott is the solid mass of awesome behind Sloan's success. A wise man once said, "If [Andrew Scott] were a summer blockbuster, it'd be called Rock Hard." That means something serious, I'm sure of it. Enjoy his power in this clip, shot at a show in Albany in September 1998. It's "People of the Sky," a true Andrew Scott Basic, and you're going to love it.

Mike O'Neill on songwriting
Backstage at Maxwells, Hoboken, NJ. March 2001
.
How adorable is Mike O'Neill? Just shy of "too." And there he sat with us in the basement at Maxwell's, to talk about songs on March 17, 2001, a bit after his debut solo record What Happens Now? came out. Now Mike's got an internet-only thing happening with The Owl over at Zunior.com, who have some fun Inbreds goodies for you to download, and a DVD for sale as well.



The Figgs' Pete Donnelly solo live
Pete Donnelly, "Waiting For the Sun to Rise"
Live at Fez, NYC. August 25, 2000.

This one time, Pete Donnelly and Mike Viola played with Rasputina. That night, I learned that not only did Rasputina fans disproportionately have unfortunate taste in clothing (and music?), they could use a stint in a manners academy. What is a manners academy? I don't know, but I might start one. Anyway, undaunted by their incessant chatter, Pete Donnelly rocked out "Waiting For the Sun to Rise," a would-be classic from The Figgs, most righteously, all solo-like. Relive the moment.



Thrush Hermit farewell tour The Day We Hit
the Coast
Thrush Hermit, "The Day We Hit the Coast"
Live in Kitchener, Ontario. December 1999.
Thrush Hermit played their last show together just over five years ago. DDYW wasn't there for the very last performance, but we did catch three Farewell Tour shows and documented two along the way. This here is a glorious masterpiece called "The Day We Hit the Coast," from the last show we ever saw. It is a Great Moment in music. Consider yourself schooled. Lucky for you, continuing education programs are currently being taught here and here.



The Flashing Lights, "Summertime Climb"
Concept video conceived by Jane O'Donnell of DDYW.
Since 1995, Ding Dong... You're Wrong has not only stood for quality rock music underrepresented in our modern society, it has also served as an example of the magical things one can do with a piece of film and an unrelated song at 4AM. Witness this video for The Flashing Lights' transcendent "Summertime Climb", ripped from the bargain-bin children's horror film "Snow White" (the creepy 1955 German version, which claims to be "the geatest"). This is a wonderfully lighthearted moment in the movie, which happened to just perfectly fit with this wonderful song. And this is one hell of an exclusive.
