There will be some planned downtime starting Wednesday, June 15th at 9am EDT. The board will be closed for approximately 12 to 24 hours while we work on migrating to a new forum software. For more information on the move, check out the Board Change Announcements thread.
Checked out the Soft Boys again a few years ago, still pretty great, but I can't remember the last time I listened to Mr. Hitchcock on his own. Besides the moment before this post, that is.
Edit: More furry brain business --- looking at some release dates I suppose my fixation with that scene did last into the late '90s, and maybe even into the aughts. '94 was the big year, though. Kinda crazy that Neutral Milk Hotel became such a big thing, huh? Good for them.

Yeah parents whio grew up on 80's music will do that to you. I actually want to have a kid so I can mold him or her with good music, books, film, science etc. If you like the Smiths I recommend this set (you can find it on ebay cheaper). Every Smiths song ever- and they don't have a stinker of a song:
Laaaate reply, but THANK YOU. That's going on my birthday list for sure.
It's funny, that's probably the only real reason why I would want a kid... to mold some hope for humanity that will live on past my death. My parents were awesome and bought me all these science books, Encarta 95, showed the movies and music they loved, and dragged me to museums even though I didn't want to. As an adult I appreciate it all so much, and my parents are literally two of my closest friends. I think that's the way it should be. Not enough parents introduce their kids to education and culture, but instead rely on "age-appropriate teaching." ...Have you ever had the misfortune to sit through at least 5 minutes of the kid's show "Bubble Guppies"? You'll basically want to slit your own throat.

Re: SOTD
My sister was completely unaware that post-hardcore is still alive and kicking despite losing popularity in the late 2000's... So I played some catch-up with her today to bring her up to speed.
Probably the most intense song about a hallway you'll ever hear.
