Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Many adjectives (and adjectival phrases), good and bad, could be used to describe the music of Pink and the Sugababes. "Sickly sweet" is not one of them.

It's the 30th anniversary of the death of Ian Curtis.
Huh. Today is also the 30th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens.
I was not familiar with Joy Division until 1985, when a DJ friend played Still for me so I could hear their version of "Sister Ray."

Yeah, I heard of Joy Division after I had first heard New Order. In 1980, I was 10 and still listening to Rick Springfield.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sue, KEXP has been playing Joy Division and contemporaries all morning. I, too, am totally regressing.
Hey, maybe that's why 'Trick's popped up with two so far. Though now we're at Metallica. 'Trick's random like that.

In 1980 I was 15 and was listening mostly to music my college-age brother was listening to: Pink Floyd, The Cars, The Police, Devo....
I really didn't start buying a lot of albums of my own until I graduated from high school. I bought a lot of David Bowie and more Pink Floyd. Then I started getting into "college" music after hearing a college radio program on Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground in 1985.

In 1980, I was five, and I'm pretty sure I was in love with that Elvira song. Ooom-papa-ooom-papa-maw-maw.

My brother was a big Joy Division fan in high school (and Devo, Gary Numan, The Dead Kennedys...). Of course, that was when he wore all black.
My sister-in-law occasionally emails me and my sister to apologize for him (when he plays her something he used to subject us to repeatedly). Landscape's "Norman Bates" was the latest.

I respect the enormous impact that Joy Division had on my chosen subculture. Thank you, Ian Curtis, for helping create the modern Goth movement. I just wish I liked your voice.
