What is Onion World?

I love you, DCB.

DB!

Thanks so much for this.

Holy wow! I thought my memories of this were just dreams…. Thanks for making them a reality again!

The album version is better.

When I worked at Urban Outfitters 1990s Lowery asked me “what did I want from him?”

Did this version ever get released? He sings it harder in this version, kind of a shame if the full quality isn't available. This should have been a big breakout hit like Smells Like Teen Spirit.

These are great Hudson

Still sounds arresting after all these years. Never seen this video before, so nice to see it now.

Way to cut off the introductions at the lead singer guy person

I was coming off mushrooms following a Butthole Surfers show in nyc and was handed a copy of Key Lime Pie on the subway by an exhausted Virgin foot soldier. A successful road trip to say the least. Totally love both eras of CVB.

One of my all time favorite songs

Wow. Really poor found poetry. Thank Jesus he found one-liner goddom in mocking the Star of David, else he might still be licking the hereditary hand-me-downs of community college has-been legacy wizards of private school education. Hanging is a thing.

Great song but the sound quality isn’t great on this? What happened to the bass?

This is gold. SM57 -- not as 'airy'

Well, I have heard a vacuum cleaner on Game Theory's Lolita Nation (legendary) album - but I had no idea Hudson Bell pioneered the use of a Dustbuster on a track

Highway 7 south would make a good song title

Fan of CVB.

Love it, Hudson!

This song has Randy Newman all over it

XOXO

I hope some day a restored version of this video appears online.

I love this song, Hudson.

Hell yeah thank you for posting

I was there. I flew up from San Diego with two friends just to see it. Thanks for uploading this, because I've talked and thought about this many times since then and always wondered if I'd ever see it again. The thing that strikes me the most now upon second viewing is there's at least three different parts from those early drafts of new poems that wound up recycled into Purple Mountains lyrics.

GreAt song. Stereo is cool, though.

We are a select few. This video has less than 600 views (as I’m typing this.) David seemed like such a wise and gentle soul. The kind of guy you’d like to sit next to and not even say anything, just appreciate their company. I know he will be missed.

nice intro, obviously had read the book

Thanks for this.

Was there, pretty cool to see again after so long. Thanks for uploading!

Been listening to these guys since...2011. not bad.

I miss 120 minutes

Does anyone else hear "Smells like Teen Spirit" here?

Saw them in '88. Amazing show. Saw them in 2010. Still amazing.

OMG, found it, finally! Wondered if I would ever see this again. Morgan called me up one day and asked me if i would like to do her a big favor, that she was now playing with CVB, and would I let them shave my head for a CVB video they were going to be shooting in the old civil war bunkers in the Marin headlands (GGBNP&RA). She was my first love and how could I refuse. I woulda done it for free, but the $50 was also nice. It was rather amusing to see all that went on behind the scenes in music video production. David Lowery was a super nice guy... the entire band was. I did not get to really talk to Morgan as much as I would have liked. There was a lot of stuff going on in my life at the time which made it hard and awkward. Never saw her again in person... It would be so nice to reconnect just to say hi to a truly talented fiddler and an old friend who's influence and talent lives on in my heart as my dear-most inspiration.

Thank you so much for uploading this! :-)

That final poem (the cut-out one) though is "My Life At Home During Banking Hours"

Gosh, this is fucking wonderful

Thank you so much. I’d never heard any on these. My heart is heavy.

Did not notice he had a lisp. Thank you btw for this. Thankful.

"The High Numbers" - 0:08 "The Irish Space Program" - 3:42 "About the Party" - 6:08

Introduction - 0:00 DCB Banter - 2:01 "Away Games" - 3:49 "The Constitution" - 7:29 "My Children's Book" - 11:50 "The Army" (?) - 13:46

this is a strange and terrible mtv friendly mix. if this had been the mix that they had used on the album, i doubt that i would have ever even liked this song. damn, that "go, go, go" chant is so unbelievably bad. and doing away with the primary guitar track in favor of a cowbell was so hideously lame. the backing harmonies were a terrible idea too, MTV all the way. wtf were they thinking? i'd bet money that CVB would just like to forget this video existed. they tried so hard to sell themselves to teenage America for a while there but the mainstream listeners just weren't buying into it. the only people who i knew that liked CVB "back in the day" was 80's neo-deadheads. (thank God they no longer exist. amirite?). Key Lime Pie was the closest CVB came to being acceptable on a large scale. KLP is actually the only album of theirs that i can tolerate listening to the whole way through. i imagine they had a great deal of outside help on the production of KLP because nothing else that they ever recorded even comes close to it. except maybe a song or two from Revolutionary Sweetheart, which could have been throwaways from KLP.

This is CVB at their So-Cal punk best! I’ve always thought this tune was great at expressing that ethos, that aesthetic. Never knew it was made into a video! So great. Sometimes discovery is right under your nose

Hadn't seen this before. Great performance from the late-classical period after J Segel left and was replaced by David Immergluck and Morgan Fichter on fiddle.

Honey bee

Fantastic! This is one of my alltime favourite Songs. And CvB one of my alltime fave Bands.

new hudson bell music!?

Thank you so much for sharing! I found this song before but I've been looking for the video since 1991. I like the added "go go go"not found on the album.
