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

'[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

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

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.
