Can’t help it, get a few beers in and I want to dredge up stuff I dug back in the day. And I’m compelled to share with y’all.

I have never heard that. Cool - nice song. Some semi-obscure songs I rocked around to at the time: - Sponge: Wax Ecstatic - [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-NVO3cxTbxg](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-NVO3cxTbxg) - The Primitives: Crash - [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5JVmV-m4wXg](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5JVmV-m4wXg) - Flesh for Lulu: I Go Crazy - [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm35ZUMzDWk](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm35ZUMzDWk) Oh, and for cranking and driving - The Cult, She Sells Sanctary, of course - [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8I8mWG6HlmU](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8I8mWG6HlmU) I would list a few Prince tunes, but I can’t 😉 I burned through the track It until I wore out the vinyl. Okay - how about Kool Moe Dee, Wild Wild West? [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n\_AMPcFym0Q](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n_AMPcFym0Q) love this video. ---

I spent the 80s and 90s hanging around alt-rock clubs. Lots of jangly guitar bands, lots of punk, lots of what became grunge. Let’s Active, [“Every Word Means No”.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvuetnVoxIs) The Church, [“Under the Milky Way”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Z48dHFYLc) The Reivers, [“In Your Eyes”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr5DTCk_7bY) Peter Murphy,[“Cuts You Up”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpz2AWu4PZg) REM, [“Fall on Me”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf6vCjtaV1k&index=34&list=RDAvuetnVoxIs) Well, hell. Now I’m looking at videos from my gloriously misspent youth! 🆒
