Yup, welcome to the special day-before-Halloween edition of the Thursday Tradition here in the Underground. First though I do need to apologise to y'all for kinda being semi-AWOL this week--between trying to put a costume together [Mew-Mew, where the ish is that scarf, good gracious!!] and working too much [9-hour days, anyone?], I think the only two people who know I'm still alive and what-not are Roboter and Kit.
Just so I get this out of the way, for starters:
The Song of the Week ~
From the Indie Intelligence Files - This song's been getting airplay in the indie/alternative station here in town these past couple of weeks. I just FINALLY found this today. Ben Folds had his new album released about a month ago, and this track off that album features Regina Spektor, whom I'd never really heard of until I heard this song. The song is almost addicting if not for the song I'm currently listening to at the moment!!
"You Don't Know Me" - Ben Folds featuring Regina Spektor
Now, I've a fairly interesting, slightly vague announcement--I am NOT incorperating the Random 20 into this week's StarMix this time around, but I *will* note the Old-School Alternation Song of the Week. Considering that this is a particularly unique mix, and the fact of the matter being that of all ocassions this is Halloween, I think it's proper time some of the finest from the Old-School Alternative/Goth got its fair day here in the Underground.
"The Queen Is Dead" - The Smiths
"People Are People" - Depeche Mode
"She's Lost Control" - Joy Division
"Harley David [Son of a B!tch]" - Bollock Brothers
"It's A Sin" - Pet Shop Boys
"Procession" - New Order
"Love My Way" - The Psychedelic Furs
"Don't Go" - Yazoo
"The Funeral Party" - The Cure
"Headhunter" - Front 242
*Song of the Week - Old-School Alternation*
"The Damned Don't Cry" - Visage
"Desperate But Not Serious" - Adam Ant
"Adorations" - Killing Joke
"More" - Sisters of Mercy
"Lovesong" - The Cure
"West End Girls" - Pet Shop Boys
"Bela Lugosi's Dead" - Bauhaus
"Cuts You Up" - Peter Murphy
"Cities In Dust" - Siouxsie and the Banshees
[This is for Roboter, who heard only the highly-abridged version this past Sunday on Sunday Night Vinyl.]
"This Corrosion" - Sisters of Mercy
[This almost goes without saying.]
"Enjoy The Silence" - Depeche Mode
"Every Day Is Halloween" - Ministry
So I got in about 21--no, correction. 22 songs... way to go me!
*yes, i edited it. forgot to add the smiths. lol.*
At the moment in the meantime I need to get a hold of Mew-Mew and see if she's got my Scarf ready to go. I sure as hell hope she does because otherwise I'll have to get to bed early and get to Wal*Mart early to get safety pins and three scarves...
*sigh* Somehow, I'm already concerned for tomorrow. Oh dear.
Until the next round...
