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!

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)

That would make it a psych album.

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.

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

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.
