While channel surfing late one night this past weekend(curse of an insomniac) I stopped to watch a few minutes of Sofia Coppola's take on Marie Antoinette. One of the sequences in the 18th century palace featured this song. And since Siouxsie has just released a solo record and will be touring soon, I figure I'd give her props today:
I remembered that I loved them today when I was cranky. How could it have taken me this long to pay homage. When ever I'm moody this is what I listen to, along with Joy Division,& Fiona Apple. The first time I heard a Siouxsie song, I was baby sitting for a neighbor. When she got home she said "you got to hear this". So she slapped Peepshow, on the turn table, cranked it up, and we listened in ...
I finally bit the bullet and purchased the SatB box set Downside up. It's a four cd collection of B-sides and rarities and a big fat booklet. No more listening to those ancient worn 12"s! I am just giddy! Nice way to round out my Monday.
