Your parents don't understand you?
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

See, that's what Scott said. Well, he said that I'm rebelling against my sheltered, middle-class suburban upbringing, but he meant it the same way.
Maybe I can blame your tag, Cass. I mean, your tag is The Sundays, but it brings me back to the general era. Ah well, at least I don't have to turn The Cure off when the children are around, the way I do when I get stuck in a Violent Femmes groove (who could do with a little frak).

The Cure are sort of nice in the winter. You can indulge in all the moroseness that you stifle because you're supposed to be cheery for the holidays, maybe?
You should listen to Kenickie! So I can share my exciting new obsession... with a band from the late 90s.
Shuddup.

Great, now I've got Jeff Conaway in my head.
Though, at least, it's Grease-era Jeff and not stoned-on-benadryl Jeff.

Kenickie? I don't remember them. My three children were born between '96 and 2000. I'm just coming out of the fog, now. Sort of.

Ah, see now, my thoughts went to Bronze things (things of Bronze).

They were part of the Britpop scene, but I dunno if they got much notice over here; I'd never heard of them till recently. Comics teach me things!

Strega, what do they sound like? Which albums are worth picking up?

I am awful at describing music. Um. Guitar-heavy not-quite riot-grrl pop. With a fair amount of wit. If you have iTunes and can do the preview thing, they have an album there, "At The Club." That's all I know beyond what I read in Phonogram. Where they are as gods (perhaps literally), so that's why I had to check 'em out.
"In Your Car" and "Come Out 2 Nite" are, AFAIK, their big hits. Right now I am overly fond of "Classy" and "Spies." "Montrose Gimps It Up For Charity" is also amusing since it's a live recording and you can hear the lead singer (and the audience) giggling a lot.
The popishness means that on the first listen, I thought, "Yeah, that's okay" and I'd listen while doing other things, and then at work the next day I'd have one of their songs in my head for hours. Infectious.
