OT Musical Interlude: Siouxsie and the Banshees, "Dazzle"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEyhtdPEQxA
the stars that shine & the stars that shrink
in the face of stagnation the water runs
before your eyes
swallowing diamonds
a cutting throat
your teeth when you grin
reflecting beams on tombstones
a jamboree of surprises
playing russian roulette
or the lucky clip
a clenched fist to your heart
coal dust on your lungs
a silver tongue for the chosen one
heavy magnum in your side or a bloody thorn
skating bullets on angel dust
in a dead sea of fluid mercury
baby piano cries
under your heavy index & thumb
pull some strings -- let them sing
the stars that shine & the stars that shrink
in the face of stagnation the water runs
before your eyes
dazzle
it's a glittering prize

By any chance, do you play Rock Band?
I ask just because in this week’s batch of downloadable songs for Rock Band, they are featuring Siouxsie and the Banshees…albeit Dazzle isn’t one of them, I thought it was an odd coincidence.
BTW, Hong Kong Garden kicks ass.
My Personal Favorites...
Cities In Dust

"I hate the people that love me, and they hate me!"
agree with the Cities in Dust recommendation
But for reasons known only to my subconscious, I adore their version of “Dear Prudence”…
Big Fan
Cities in Dust is great as is Dazzle. I really like their cover of Iggy Pop’s “The Passenger”.

Fourthing "Cities in Dust"
But let’s not forget “Spellbound”…
