3rd culture kid in DC, third culturing around. Scooby & the gang taught us that the real monsters are people. Be weird, be whatever, just don’t be a monster. Twit: DCboyisangry

I barely go to show now, but you’ve been making up for that, no? You’ve probs of seen more shows in the last 10 years than I’ve seen in 20. lol
Brilliant, troubled, and dead. 
How’s that for morbid? (sry, had to)
I think it’s fair to say that Ian Curtis was a troubled dude.
It really was a great era. In 1986 (7?) I saw Iron Maiden, Siouxsie, and the Dead - weeks apart. There was so much good music!
I know you listen to a pretty wide array of music as well - as does David.
Music, man. It saves lives. 🔥
Another great #OutOfOrder countdown!
The year is 1983. If you’re uninitiated, you may want to peruse some *epic* tunes. 🔥
😲
I’m not sure I believe that either. Wow. Should be interesting reading. 
*Also hard to believe he’s 82!
Shocking, actually. In my mind he’s just a kid. lol
#1 New Order-Blue Monday #OutOfOrder By the 90s synthpop was a whole thing but they along with Art of Noise they set their own template @thejessness.bsky.social @recarecaps.bsky.social @jerryn13.bsky.social @milesgeffin.bsky.social @dcboy.bsky.social @paulheardartist.bsky.social @derrylm.bsky.social

This is the kind of music that makes me want to keep my neighbors up at night. 
Thanks for posting this! 🔥
I love Bowie, but this is one album I don’t have a lot of experience with.
I had no idea Iggy and SRV had contributed to it. 
Thanks for the new rabbit hole! 🙌
Our #2 artist was going through somewhat of a personal renaissance with his 1983 record. He was always himself but he was working with a completely different cast than he had before. @paulette7.bsky.social @ladyiris5.bsky.social @thejessness.bsky.social

Our #3 pick somehow ended up with a cougar being part of the mix. Happily, in spite of that unfortunate nom de guerre he has gone on to bet of the better songwriters. @recarecaps.bsky.social @scuutes.bsky.social @auberon.bsky.social @pewtergod.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOfk...

Excellent song. 
Added to my Sunday playlist. 🙌
Green Green Green. World Leader Pretend is right there in the middle of it. Gamer's Lament. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGMe...

And revolting.
It really is no wonder Republicans idolize that dingbat.
*Great little comic. Saving that to use later. 🔥
Not me. Reagan was a huge pretend-a-friend. Doing something nice to everyone's face while he secretly was setting up all the millionaires to become Billionaires.

Thank you! 🙌
That song and this one are some of their bests stuff, imho. 
(Oh shit. I forgot about Shiny Happy People, which is also pretty good.)

One of their best songs! 🔥
02.08.2025 20:34 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Our #4 band were just getting started in 1983. They ended up putting out they're first record independently before they recorded this a couple years later where it made some noise. @milesgeffin.bsky.social @auberon.bsky.social @sheriihler.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac0o...

Yeah, there are much better songwriters.
That’s the single best way to workout EVER! lol
I may have to consider that on days when inspiration lacks. 🔥
You still hear about Sting and Copeland doing their various things, but Andy Summers seems to be MIA.
02.08.2025 20:24 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Sting begs to disagree. He’s claimed that Synchronicity is inspired by Jung and Ghost in The Machine is inspired by Arthur Koestler. lol
I grew up with the Police, so I’m a permanent victim. Sting though… he irks me.
At #5 we have a band that was unusually inventive. And were perhaps the greatest of stalkers. @nixanadoo.com @paulette7.bsky.social @milesgeffin.bsky.social @dcboy.bsky.social @derrylm.bsky.social @pewtergod.bsky.social @paulheardartist.bsky.social

Agreed on all counts!
Funnily enough, the other day I was reading about MLK Day, and I don’t remember this at all, but Reagan signed the holiday into law?!?!
I find that mind boggling.
At #6 we have a band who have taken on o long-lasting style and image. Eventually a lot of bands adopted their iconography but circa 1993 they were alone short of Ozzy. @thejessness.bsky.social @sheriihler.bsky.social @pewtergod.bsky.social @liscopenhagen.bsky.social
