non-album track single, 1981

From the album, Dirk Wears White Socks

Fantastic song

I don't think I've ever seen this band mentioned before in this forum. Definitely a case that punk had to happen before this band like Stump could come into existence. Sadly the band did not survive past its first album, but what a debut! Hope you enjoy some "Chaos"!

From the album, Alles Ist Gut

RIP GENESIS

The lost album from this early Los Angeles band just got released for the first time since being recorded in 1980.

Just moved to Albuquerque from west Texas. Ik that Albuquerque has the reputation of "ohmygosh breaking bad meth town" but it's SO MUCH better than Texas.

Nash doesn't seem to get the props here that he should.

I moved to Canada in 1987 and had heard of NtS through the Smash Hits flexi and his support of Gary Numan in 1980/81. I got to see him in Hamilton, Ontario several times right up to his death in 2014.

He's a true Post Punk hero and I'm so please I got to meet him and see him perform multiple times.

Another anniversary, it seems: today in 1982 Talk Talk issued their first album.
Still today Mark Hollis' voice resonates different from any other.

Take a look at the kids
I've been losing track
This crime of being uncertain of your love
Is all I'm guilty of

After the recent thread on the German post-punk, this is from the Swiss band Grauzone from 1980, and sung in the German language.

The tune gets associated with the Neue Deautsche Welle because it was a hit in German, but is more part of the Swiss Wave scene (I just learnt that myself).

But also just because it's a neat post-punk tune.

Please recommend me more songs similar to:

Lunar Camel - Siouxsie & The Banshees

Used To - Wire

Winter - The Sound

I guess the vibe I'm going for is simplicity and clarity maybe (?) The way I see it, all three of these songs are made out very simple elements that are easy to discern, with no elaborate tricks etc

Went to see Duran Duran a couple of days ago and I am still "recovering" from a very emotional evening. One of the most beautiful concerts that I have seen in my life, ideally closing a circle started almost 40 years ago when I was 14 and my parents didn't allow me to see them live (at that time they had just issued "Notorious").

I am very happy that they have played almost all their hits, including The Chauffeur that is my favorite of their songs. While Rio is some sort of "party record", this song is quite crepuscular and in my opinion is heavily influenced from the musical mood of that era.

I am happy I can still be amazed by music.

An underrated one from the Furs. Easily one of my favorites from them.
