Rodan's Everyday World of Bodies

I was fortunate enough to see Rodan twice during their way-too-short existence, both times at Lounge Ax in 1994. This video was from a show in Athens, GA that same year and, well it turns out you didn't have to be there: you can watch this and you'll get why it was so disappointing when they broke up. Yes, Rodan's breakup was the most tragic of 1994, beating both Nirvana and Unrest. Why? Because Rodan was just getting started. It's like, what if My Bloody Valentine gave up after making "Isn't Anything"? Or if Pavement made no records after "Perfect Sound Forever". You know what I mean?




In the mean time, it's back to San Jose for more liposuction for me!
