  1. ok, this is neither industrial nor electronic... But some of you probably enjoy the This Mortal Coil version of his song Kangaroo ; and well, the album with Alan Vega is somewhat electronic in its way...

    Sad news for pop music in its most beautiful sense.

    Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
    Ain't got time to take a fast train.
    Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
    'Cause my baby just a-wrote me a letter.

    I don't care how much money I gotta spend,
    Got to get back to my baby again
    Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
    'Cause my baby just a-wrote me a letter.

    Well, she wrote me a letter
    Said she couldn't live without me no mo'.
    Listen mister can't you see I got to get back
    To my baby once a-mo'--anyway...

    Because my baby just a-wrote me a letter.

    in an attempt to tie this somewhat with the scene (like the previous This Mortal Coil video...nice job, vx!), I'll post another 4AD band. His Name Is Alive's cover of "Blue Moon."

    yeah, it is! I love that whole album, but that track is my favorite as well.

    I saw HNIA perform it live about 2 years. It was so lovely.

    Anyhoo, here's something you don't see everyday: a U.S. Congressman pays Chilton some respect on the House floor:

    i heart me some dark texas!

    Not a big fan of politicians. But to take a moment, however brief it was, to acknowledge Chilton like that is pretty cool.

    although it is kinda funny that the congressman near the end accidentally combinded band names and said "Box Stars".
