Addendum: What does posting with beer get you? Misspellings, that's what. But it doesn't make this album any worse, does it? No, it doesn't.

Where did you get those i's?

Stand proud!. I saw Soiouxsie do that song live at the California Theatre. She told the security to 'Fuck Off' and the show then went on with no rules. My girlfriend went home with glitter on.

You need to share those pictures with us.

And no, I'm not ashamed of any of my musical past. Even my brief interest in the NKotB. After all, I once won the adoration of a lovely girl by giving her a huge collection of NKotB trading cards (this was just a few years ago; not in the 80s).

I used to think Styx was all that. Now I can barely stomach the vocals. Ew. Similar with Fleetwood Mac. I thought they were great. Now, well, not so great.

The stuff I like from my youth isn't necessarily what I liked in my youth, if that makes sense: Neil Young, Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin, etc. If there's a common thread, maybe it's that when I was young, I was looking for uplifting stuff; now that I'm older, I can appreciate the sound of the blues more.

One exception: The Who's Quadrophenia. Great then. Great now.

I still like Siouxsie - sometimes I even listen to my warped old cassette that has More Songs About Buildings and Food on the flip side. I know what you mean about the amateur archaeologist feeling though; I get trapped in waves of nostalgia a lot, probably because I'm such a pack rat and so I end up getting all sentimental over stuff that should have been thrown long ago.

But I have learned never to apologize for my music. Okay, when I was 12? I got The Captain and Tennille for Christmas and I loved it and yes, I can still sing along to Muskrat Love. That is so uncool it makes me cringe, but fuck it. Not everyone knows all the words to Muskrat Love, after all. ;-)

Bah, no embarassment here. I indulge in full-blown nostalgia binges probably monthly, and certain acts like the Cocteau Twins have never really left my rotation. 'Peep Show'? My guilty pleasure is 'Tinderbox'.

*thinks* Ok, the Howard Jones phase in 7th grade is now embarassing.

Also: Muskrat Love-- had that 7"!

There was a time when I was absolutely obsessed with the Cabaret Voltaire album The Arm of the Lord (aka The Covenant The Sword and The Arm of the Lord). I don't know if I could stand to listen to it now. I still think their earlier stuff is fantastic, though.

funny you mention Cabaret Voltaire - I just sorta rediscovered "Listen Up with CB". Incredible stuff, so ahead of it's time.

The iPod really helped me rediscover some stuff. I usually listen on shuffle, and it's great when a gem pops up I wouldn't have chosen otherwise.

I always loved "Peepshow", but "Monitor" is the single greatest Siouxie song for my money.
