Uh, because you always act like this big thing how you're teaching me some sort of lesson and for all the nervous denials seem weirdly obsessed when in contrast I don't think about you at all, except in moments like this?

Cool Coachella pics. Peter's pants almost deserve a place on Friday's 'best pants in rock' thread. Those are some big pants.

how is the new album, Ned? I gather it's leagues away from Dusk and more a return to Deep territory.

Extremely and totally. But go anyway.
It's very much not Dusk part two, no -- if anything it strikes me more as an extension of the poppier/gentler side of Cascade, not surprising since Paul Statham, his longest serving cowriter, is back on a number of songs. "Idle Flow," the opener, is one of his best songs ever when it hits the chorus, and more than once throughout the album that same thing happens -- enjoyable, low key verse but then a *great* dramatic chorus that lifts the whole performance. Unshattered in general is a nice mix of ideas and slightly familiar tropes but with a good bright edge to it -- "Kiss Myself" is almost power-pop, with harmonica even! Interesting mix of performers -- Steven Perkins plays drums, his Porno For Pyros sidekick Peter di Stefano adds guitar. It's possibly his easiest, calmest album so far, where the darker moments are suggested rather than put front and center.
It'll be interesting to see what the set is like, blending that with all the solo choices he can draw on, but especially the Dusk material.

this all sounds like code for "it sucks"! But I'm going to give it a listen anyway.

I have a bizarro CD version of "The Sky's Gone Out." It has a blank white cover with a small logo and title, and the tracklisting is wrong. "Kick in the Eye" and "Earwax" (which is unlisted) are tracks 6 and 7, and "Lagartija Nick" and "Ziggy Stardust" are at the end. Anyone know the origin of this confabulation?

actually, that picture is of the double vinyl version which does have your tracklisting exactly.

This is one of those nights when "Bela Lugosi's Dead" sounds so undeniably glorious and exhilarating.

"Bela" became such an worn-out 'alternative disco' cliche towards the end of the eighties that I didn't listen to it for well over a decade. When I finally got round to acquiring Bauhaus on CD, it was almost like hearing it for the first time all over again, and I was really shocked by just how good it was. The lyric and the delivery hit a very fine balance between celebration and self-mockery, and I'd forgotten how much reggae influence there is in the sound. Quite a punishing dance floor work-out, too. Classic, of course.

Does anyone know anything about the reissues coming up on Beggars Banquet? Just got an email from them promising a bonus disc if you preorder both "box sets," which look like maybe expanded reissues of In the Flat Field and Mask. I can't find any info anywhere else on their (horrific) site, and <a href="http://www.beggarsgroupusa.com/releases/bauhaus-box-sets-bundle/">the preorder page</a> doesn't even bother to mention whether these are LP or CD.
Tracklisting for the bonus rarities disc:
TRACK LISTING1. Bela Lugosi’s Dead – Tomb Raider MixThis is a new mix based on the Hammersmith Palais ’81 live performance (the same as on ‘Press The Eject’). It has a constant rhythm (the live take starts at a gallop, quickly slowing to a canter) and uses a studio vocal that was added to the multi-track.2. Terror Couple Kill Colonel – Spaceward Studio 24 April 1980There are already 3 versions of TCKC on the box set (that’s enough) but this version was briefly available (by accident) on a re-press of the vinyl single and quickly withdrawn.3. Double Dare – Southern Studio Mix #1The unreleased mix #4 is on the box set but this is an earlier take.4. A God In An Alcove5. Poison Pen6. Hollow HillsRecorded at University Of London Union 31 October 1980. We wanted to include a live disc with ‘In The Flat Field’ Omnibus Edition but only one official recording was made of a show (at ULU). The tape was a live monitor mix so the sound balance was way out with Daniel’s guitar recorded far too low in the mix. Sadly there were no multi-tracks so a re-mix wasn’t possible. These are the only 3 tracks worth salvaging from the tape. It’s a shame, as audience bootlegs show that Bauhaus were always a dynamic live band right from their early shows.7. PoemRecorded at Space Place, Chicago 9 September 1980This is from a bootleg and it’s a bit of fun that Peter employed during some of the 1980 shows.
