Didn't they add contemporary singles including 12" mixes to the relevant lps when they did the remasters over the last decade?
Was going to come over and say for me the John McGeoch era is the greatest in its psychy folky otherness.There's a load of live stuff around from the era including a Rockpalast.

They didn't include anything from the "Downside Up" box when they did the reissues, only some demos and the occasional 12" mix - those are strewn about various releases as well.

Happy belated 60th birthday Siouxsie. Your albums mean more to me the older I get. I hope you perform once again.

I will happily echo that.

'[Siouxsie's] father was a bacteriologist who milked venom from snakes' is a joyous wikipedia fact.
While we're on this tangent, Siouxsie was included last week in a quiz round I compiled on famous Belgians (she qualifies via her father).

Cruel World is only a 20 minute drive (w/o traffic) from my house. Legit excited at dad goth lineup.

Xp hah, never knew. Saw her in Brussels on her solo tour but that was quite a detached performance

Bob Geldof too, sort of.

Come to think of it, 'milked venom from snakes' sounds like a line from the Banshees' early 80s heyday

I'm in the OC so it's a bit further for me but would love to go to this. Not sure tho as I think my festival days are behind me.

It's a great eye chart for a punk rock ophthalmologist's office

Looks like I'm going, I have been convinced.

I heard horror stories about the heat last year so as tempting as this is, going to pass and pray she does a bay area stop (love and rockets too; I imagine they might, does david J still live here or did he move to LA?)

AFAIK, David J has been in LA for awhile now.

Somehow always puts me in the mind of The Aloof - Abuse
I think it's how the dutdutdut is often matched by a slowly descending double. E rush kosmische or something.
