Revival of this thread has me playing "Mask" for the first time in fnyears. I was an OBSESSIVE Bauhaus fan in the late 80s.

But yeah, Murphy's whole Twilight thing is pretty wtf. My teenage self would have been UTTERLY DISGUSTED.

I was gonna get indignant but then I realized Twilight isn't really any worse than The Hunger

i haven't seen the twilight movies. the trailers make them look like a really low-budget wb show filmed in canada. like one tree hill with bad special efx. (can certainly see the kid appeal though)

I love both FWIW.
I was trying to decide which version I liked better last week, and I just couldn't!

lol I just went to go track it down
hmm, this is good but I am so used to the Bauhaus version
― DJP, Wednesday, 10 November 2010 17:47 (thirteen years ago) link
i also heard the Bauhaus version first, so that's the definitive one for me. kicks ass.

T. Rex "Telegram Sam" v. Bauhaus "Telegram Sam" is also impossible imo.

And then there's:

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 10 November 2010 17:49 (thirteen years ago) link
T.Rex easily on Telegram Sam.
But the delay on David J's bass is just so damn appealing and Murphy sounds so freaking demented while Eno just sounds so... oddly calm.
― Wheal Dream, Wednesday, 10 November 2010 17:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Actually, it's the distortion more than the delay, there's delay on the original, too.
― Wheal Dream, Wednesday, 10 November 2010 17:51 (thirteen years ago) link
I am not sure "Bela Lugosi's Dead" would make a POX for me, which I find kind of surprising.

I think the last minute and a half of Bauhuas is some of my favourite music ever recorded. Those "giggle stick" guitars. Whoa.
― Wheal Dream, Wednesday, 10 November 2010 18:07 (thirteen years ago) link
Of Bauhaus? Eh? She's In Parties.
― Wheal Dream, Wednesday, 10 November 2010 18:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Every time I start to listen to Bauhaus again, I am just starkly reminded, again and again, how much they made me the person I am today. I'm not sure if I should thank them or not.
― Wheal Dream, Wednesday, 10 November 2010 18:19 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, loved them to death in the mid 80s, though i never dug any further into goth anything, except maybe the birthday party. liked them best as a rock & roll band: the "third uncle" & "telegram sam" covers, "dark entries" & "lagartija nick". not to slight the rest, but they could really kick up a storm when they wanted to.

Listening to their records, there are just so many arty in-jokes and allusions, and I laugh to myself and then think "why do you KNOW that?" and then think "Oh yeah. Because I listened to Bauhaus."

I remember thinking "The case continues" was just some romantic conclusion for that section and not standard Brit crime journo conclusion for a mid-trial report.

this song made me fall in love with Bauhaus btw

Haha wow of all things! But it is an inspired idea, more bands should do similar.
What is Ash saying in his bit, anyway? Some sort of backward-masked love of spiky hair?
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 13 April 2012 13:48 (twelve years ago) link
It's the same idea as 5% for Nothing and all those wacky one-band-member bits on Fragile but obv p different in execution
― does Red Stripe work like poppers? (Abbbottt), Friday, 13 April 2012 14:30 (twelve years ago) link
I loved when they split up their songs into bits and worked on them like an exquisite corpse, it was so Surrealist, I love it. Spot the art school band, I win.
