Die, Drôme Superthread

Unless of course I pass out

Passing out, like sleep, is for the weak.

Khan and Ashley, you're both totally on to beat me on this thread. I'm off to the ophthalmologist in just over an hour, then I'm taking the long way home so I can do some railfanning and grocery shopping.

Well, you probably weren't getting any of the rooting part. Nobody on this thread does unless their name is Jen or Vazza.

:changes name:

on second thought...

What, you don't want to be the winner?

Fucking hell, I hadn't heard Ian Curtis's headstone was stolen last week.

I hope the cunts who stole it get haunted mercilessly by his ghost.

So Hardy's list....Wow that's pretty punk

I just lit off the last of our fireworks in the rain.

Six sparklers at once, however, I should warn you, is not a good idea *nurses burn on hand*

 

[Axver]

So Hardy's list....Wow that's pretty punk

Yeah, it doesn't seem very retro.

 

[bono_212]

Yeah, it doesn't seem very retro.

Isn't retro supposed to refer to New Wave AND Post-Punk?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Yeah, it doesn't seem very retro.

here's how it works:

50s/60s: oldies
70s/80s: retro
90s/00s: shitty

 

[bono_212]

OH GOD! I knew that Split Enz song (I Got You). I heard it on the radio the other day, I was thinking about putting it on my list, but I couldn't get my phone out in time to ID it

Ooh great, then I could have entered a prog list!

It's been on the cd at work a few times.

In fact,

I didn't include it in my paragraph, but I thought about mentioning that that playlist is almost entirely a homage to the CD at work. It seems to LOVE New Wave, and that's where I first heard a lot of the songs.

I clocked out early today and sat in the back of the store watching The Lion King with my boss' daughter.

Seriously though, how on earth are bands like The Cure and Joy Division retro? New wave I can see, but punk and post-punk? Just because new wave evolved out of it doesn't mean it too is retro.

See, if somebody pitches something to me as retro, I'm going to automatically expect some kind of cheesy synth-heavy shit that went #1 in 1979.

except?

i think post punk is retro though. punk...not so much.

 

[Axver]

Terrible post.

Well, it is. London Calling is a pretty bloated album that's not worth it beyond The Card Cheat.
