Friday Music on a Monday. The holidays and post-holiday catch up have gotten me off track. I heard this song over the weekend on Sound Opinions. It’s one of those songs that never got very much airplay but pretty much everyone of a certain age and demographic has heard a few times, maybe at...

New Feature: Friday Music. John Scalizi reminded me today that I used to like the Psychedelic Furs quite a bit. Which reminded me of the fact that I saw them live around 1987 or so. They were a bit past their sell-by date but musically they were one of the tightest bands I have...
