What song are you listening to right now?

The ultimate Halloween song.

Daniel Ash is a criminally underrated player and this song is a testament to his astonishing ability to create heaps of atmosphere with his guitar. Murphy's lyrics are macabre, unsettling, vivid....but the guitar playing is really what imbues this song with its sense of lurching unease. Seeing them perform this live in 2006 was a major event for me.

Good stuff. One of the bands always mentioned in the "If you like The Smiths, you'll like..." category but actually quite good in their own right.

its like with nirvana. those bands have a few sides to there sound and a lot of imitators tend to copy just the one side but do it well. the sindays fall into this catagory for me and they do the side of the smiths really really well. third album had some good songs on it as well
 
hedwig - wicked little town (tommys version)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wckTmcLPXUc

the words:

"You know the sun is in your eyes
And hurricanes and rains
And black and cloudy skies

You're running up and down that hill
You turn it on and off at will
There's nothing here to thrill or bring you down

And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town

Oh lady, luck has led you here
And they're so twisted up
They'll twist you up, I fear

The pious, hateful and devout
You're turning tricks 'til you're turned out
The wind so cold, it burns, you're burning out and blowing round

And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town

The fates are vicious and they're cruel
You learn too late you've used two wishes
Like a fool

And then you're someone you are not
And Junction City ain't the spot
Remember Mrs. Lot and when she turned around

And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town"



moz would make a fantastic cover of this song
 
Is this working? Keep talking...
