I remember this song, but didn't connect it to them at the time.

Their sound reminds me of The Smiths and Joy Division. I wouldn't be surprised if they were influenced by these bands.

I like how you wrote with the chapter headings. It reminded me of the fun of going to a record store and those blind buys that turned out to be great.

Haha! I had a feeling that you would remember it. Yes to all the bands, they’re all favorites of mine. Thank you for the restack. I had so much fun revisiting this old post, now 18 years later.

That's the power of writing. As you get older it's an indicator of where you were once and where you are going

Sick with envy that you got to see them live! They are also my favorite band, I got into them while studying abroad in London, living near Camden:)
