Mayor ,'Chosen'
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.
It's the Long Tail, baby!
I luvs me some Long Tail!
Wait, that doesn't sound right....
I'll have to listen to that link after I finish this album.
Anyone have any opinions on Kitchens of Distinction?

Ha! I looked up "Foggy Notion" on YouTube and there are covers there by the Vulgar Boatmen and Modern Lovers.
Awesome!
Oh, did I mention here that it was my love of VU and "Sister Ray" that got me into Joy Division? Back in '85 a DJ friend of mine knew how much I was into VU and he said, "You gotta hear this cover of 'Sister Ray' that Joy Division does."
It was about two years later when I finally heard "Love Will Tear Us Apart." Which I also love to death.

All good things spring from the VU. I didn't get into "Love Will Tear Us Apart" really until I saw the video. Something about watching Peter Hook play the famous bassline made it click for me in a way it hadn't before.
"Transmission" is probably my favorite Joy Division song, though I like the more punkish/Stoogesy "Warsaw" too.

I got into it when I was... chemically altered. One of those "stay up all night talking and listening to music" deals. I was earwormed with that song for days, in a good way.
My love for Bauhaus started in a similar way. Except there was also dancing. In an empty room with a boombox.
I like The Vulgar Boatmen's "Drive Somewhere." Any recs for good albums by them?

I miss those nights. You'd end up with albums all over the floor and nothing in its sleeve, but you'd go through everything just to play one song, or a part of one song. Good times.

I really do wish that Ian Curtis' voice didn't make me grit my teeth. I have huge respect for Joy Division and their place in the Great Goth Pantheon. Just don't make me listen to them.
Oh, did I tell you guys that I won the LE pink vinyl pressing of Bela Lugosi's Dead? It should be arriving at my house next week.

I think so--or maybe it was on Facebook.
Anyway, you should post a photo of you posing with it.
