A pond of Ecstasy.
Though that doesnāt sound very doomy, to be fair.

What a great history lesson! Thank you!

Iām happy with just the cover too; I rarely watch the video. I appreciate what you do, as it stirs memories and causes me either to re-listen to something Iāve not heard for a long time or to listen to something new.

I recommend listening to The Legendary Wolfgang Pressā¦, which collates three EPs that came before Standing Up Straight, and Bird Wood Cage that came after it. Queer is also good, but is a lot funkier and lighter than the others.

Great! They were one of my favourite bands in the 80s.

Youāre all assuming that the principal subject was the woman. Perhaps the hen refused to lose its support humanā¦?

Congratulations! Also, Iāve enjoyed the hookup with the Naked Week. Which is?

Her pronunciation of ātwatā as ātwotā is a particular favourite!

Iām listening to it now. Itās hilarious, like eavesdropping at a pub table where two people are chatting. A great episode. And I didnāt know Mike Joyce applied to be the drummer in the early days. (Well, thatās not the only thing I didnāt know, to be fairā¦)

Heās a wrongāun alright. I heard he trod on a lawn that had a āKeep off the Grassā sign.

A brutal, blistering track. Live itās a wee bit quicker than the album version. A great choice!

They were, though do you remember all of the name changes? Spizz Oil, Atletico Spizz 80ā¦? (Iām sure there were others.)

Thereās a great programme on BBC Sounds by Miranda Sawyer that you might find interesting. It covers the first five albums.

Likewise! I saw them at Lewisham Odeon that tour, with Smith playing for the Banshees. Spizz Energi (of āWhereās Captain Kirkā fame) was second support.

āStarmer Chameleonā and accompanying image. Very good; one of your best podcast covers!

This is utterly dispiriting. Also, approximately 2 women a week are killed by their partner. But then there is a third, unquantified, group of potential homicides, chalked up as accidental deaths despite strong circumstantial evidence. See this podcast series: tortoisemedia.com/hiddenhomici....

That is undeniably cute.

Nice! āEmpty Eyesā is a great track. I saw Marc do a solo set (maybe with āthe Mambasā) in support of Siouxsie and the Banshees. The first song was only him on stage and he was utterly mesmerizing as he threw himself around the stage. I canāt remember what song it was, sadly.

I watched a British TV series about a police bomb team on, I think, HBO Max and the first bomb they had to deal with was in a flat where they entered the front door then went downstairs. I was so sure that couldnāt be right that I had to rewind to double-check. Thanks for this enlightening post!

I hope it works for you; good luck!

Specific songs usually do it for me but something that occasionally helps is an emotionally intense video. For example, the videos that pop up every now and again of a deaf child hearing with an implant for the first time, or a dog reunited with its owner after a few years apart.

What a great video. Iāve not seen it before; thanks for posting. I knew Smith played with the Banshees for lengthy periods but I hadnāt realized that Severin had played with The Cure at all (though I assume this may have been a one-off?).

I hadnāt seen the dogs! The duck must be thinking āThereās something not right hereā¦ā

Well, Iām somewhat persuaded by the reference to the parable of the prodigal son. But if they want some of the fatted calf when I begrudgingly welcome them back, they can fuck right off.

Iāve only just seen this post, after replying to your Car Trouble one. So it was the first album, not a track. I really misremembered that! A great album, too.

I was wrong! Iāll look online to see where Dirkā¦ appears.

A classic! Is this the single with Dirk Wears White Sox as the B-side? For a long time I thought Dirk was such a great name.

Did you know that the song was released in 1981? A *long* time ago! (I checked online after I finished listening to Smashing Security.)

Seriously? Iām not sure whatās worse: the performative baiting or the triggered responses. The taco stunt is pretty feeble; though Iād watch a series of food-based taunts. You want to complain about teachers getting sacked? Watch me eat this apple.
