Granted.

Oh no, no, no...
It was all going so well.
I will not have a bad word said against Robert Smith.
Wash your mouths, the pair of you.

Interesting, In the eighties so many bands tolled a death knell by including brass, a brass section has finished more bands. I noticed it first with the stranglers they brought in a brass section for "La Folie" not one song an entire album dragged em on tour as well full trip. All these punks dressed in black turn up to spend the evening bouncing, to find a trumpet been weedled into a version of grip or hanging around. Two years later they've split up, gone (at least Hugh did). I hate Brass sections being brought into established groups repertoirs now it's always means the end is nigh.

Better some brass than a freaking flute.
Jethro DULL really annoys me and has done since I was a child.
That whole crossing up of the legs standing on stage being a rock n roll flautist, purleeeease!
It makes me want to dance in a totally mocking manner whilst making a face.
My musical tastes are pretty diverse and range all over the genres and beyond, but I missed the Mothership on the comet trail of that band!
TFFT!

[My Only Weakness]

Here's another one of my favourites...




A ravenous greed for a brood to feed
A lusting spawn on a weekend fawn
Do you hunger for this, hunger for this?

Sucking leaches feel the need
Sucking dry unsated stomach pops
Sharpened knives, oh, with flying sparks
Sagging bodies with stretch marks

And your belly aches
Do you hunger for this, hunger for this?
Hunger for this, bled white with avarice

As the rust creeps
Corrosion seeps a rotting seed
Eat me, oh, feed me
With your belching foul breath

Your destructive kiss, death
Do you hunger for this, hunger for this?
Hunger for this, just a taste of a sweet kiss

Shanghaied on a locust flight
And the thirst from a vampire bite
Fills the emptiness inside
Consuming everything green eyed
We hunger, we hunger

We are hunger for this
Hunger for this
Hunger for this
The bliss of a sweet kiss

Hunger for this
(Hunger for this)
Hunger for this
(Hunger for this)
We hunger, we hunger


We're hunger for this
(Hunger for this)
Hunger for this
(Hunger for this)
We hunger

In the old days, when I was just beginning to read Interview with the Vampire, this was music-by-which-to-be-very-weird, for me!
Loved it age the age of twelve, and I love it even more now.
If nothing else, I had impeccable taste in music as a little girl!!
I think Hyaena is a brilliant album, but, I say that about most of her work!

One of my all-time favourites. So many years have passed since I first heard it and it still speaks to me.

With 'a little help from my friends' we are managing to keep this thread alive.
So here is another little treat...



Oh the Air was shining
Shining like a wedding ring
Barbed like sex
I felt 10,000 volts
My chest was full of eels
Pushing through my usual skin
I opened up new wounds
Pouting, shouting-

Oh Love, like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Oh Lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades

The Sun was rich
Rich with a song of sin
My breath melted my words
Into strange alphabets
Tormenting my tongue
Pouting, shouting -

Oh Love, like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Oh Lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades

The heartbeats were echoing
Echoing the revolver
Emptying into my mouth
I pulled a face from my pocket
And smiled a Leper's grin
I felt somebody close
Pouting, shouting -

Oh Love, like liquid falling
Falling in cascades
Oh Lovelorn victims
Laughing in cascades

[EPbabe]

Oh how I love this song... Swimming Horses!



Great dance by Siouxsie!

A fantastic cover version of The Doors 'You're Lost Little Girl'.

Listening through some my own homemade compliations of Siouxsie and The Banshees today. Is it me or does Siouxsie sound like an evil witch in most of her songs?

She does. And she looks like one, too.

I'd been looking to get hold of some new music for a while and after reading this thread and having a listen to the clips, decided to pick up "Juju" , "Kiss in the Dreamhouse" and "Kaleidoscope". Probably enjoying the track "Green Fingers" the most at the moment.

Oh , is anyone else reminded of the Franz Ferdinand song "Take Me Out" when listening to "Monitor" ?

Glad to hear it's been of use to at least one or two people, that was my primary intention when I started the thread.
Enjoy Siouxsie!
