Also

Tones On Tail >>> Bauhaus >> Love & Rockets >> David J. >>>> Peter Murphy >>>>>>> Daniel Ash

Keep in mind I love love love Bauhaus, so this is sayin a lot.

Mackro Mackro, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 22:12 (sixteen years ago) link

You're suggesting that David J's solo work is preferable to Daniel Ash's?

LAY OFF THAT CRACK, SON!

i can live without daniel OR david's solo stuff. they've both made their fair share of poo.

scott seward, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 00:42 (sixteen years ago) link

I have to agree on David over Daniel when it comes to solo stuff.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 00:53 (sixteen years ago) link

Tones on Tail is the best thing any of those folks ever did. By miles.

And I really like Bauhaus and Love & Rockets. It's just that Tones on Tail is some of the best music ever.

Alex in NYC doesn't dig adult contemporary?

So, was there ever another version of Go! (besides teh "club mix")?

Bobbi Peru, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 02:46 (sixteen years ago) link

"Go!" sounds like two separate songs spliced together. The former part is a dubbed out instrumental version, then it splices into the "original" when the verses start. I presume there's a regular version somewhere in the vaults.. but you know, the Club Mix was definitive enough I guess.

Mackro Mackro, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 06:31 (sixteen years ago) link

I want a studio version cover of "Heartbreak Hotel"! I kinda like the deep-in-a-well-on-a-rusty-walkman recorded live version, but you know... There should be a 10-year anniversary followup to Everything! called Sike More Lol!

Mackro Mackro, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 06:33 (sixteen years ago) link

lions is one of the best songs ever.

s1ocki, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 06:35 (sixteen years ago) link

that whole pop album (u.k. version) is fucking brilliant. one of the best psych albums of that decade! (one of my faves to listen to on acid back then too)

scott seward, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 06:52 (sixteen years ago) link

That would make it a psych album.

Bobbi Peru, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 08:06 (sixteen years ago) link

You people be mean about solo David J. Three words: the Jazz Butcher Conspiracy!

Masonic Boom, Thursday, 21 February 2008 13:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Anyway, speaking of David J:

I heard "O.K. This Is The Pops" today, and it was so good it made me want to kick the super of my building squarely in the shins. I want to do that anyway, but it would be so much more satisfying to do it while "O.K. This Is The Pops" was playing. I'm-a make that happen.

Alex in NYC, Friday, 22 February 2008 00:26 (sixteen years ago) link

holy shit. ned are you going to see that? crazy.

s1ocki, Friday, 22 February 2008 01:57 (sixteen years ago) link

Bobbi Peru, Friday, 22 February 2008 02:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Love & Rockets < Bauhaus < Tones On Tail < The Sinister Ducks.

holy shit. ned are you going to see that? crazy.

Didn't know it existed before today. Could be fun!

Ned Raggett, Friday, 22 February 2008 06:01 (sixteen years ago) link

That girls looks more like Diamanda Galas than Edie Sedgwick. I'm just sayin'.

Alex in NYC, Friday, 22 February 2008 14:04 (sixteen years ago) link

nine years pass...
five years pass...

I heard "O.K. This Is The Pops" today, and it was so good it made me want to kick the super of my building squarely in the shins.

Listening to it right now. It's a banger.

I love Tones on Tail. They were freer and looser than either Bauhaus or Love and Rockets.

Taking sides, though? Bauhaus is the source.
