And talking about lyrics of Stephin Merritt I can't go past this beautiful creation...
"Where the flesh meets the spirit world,
Where the traffic is thin..."

@SueC the moniker comes from a really dumb Burnistoun skit that made me laugh very hard.

The Stranglers are easily one of my all time favorite bands, but to me the cutoff point is 1983, nothing they did after Feline speaks to me. Maybe the b-side Hitman, despite some obvious imperfections in production. And one song off Hugh's first solo album, All the Tea in China.

But when they were good they were great.

Mine too, I like the first few albums, but the recent ones as well (even some from the Paul Roberts phase). The real weak ones were those from around '97/'98.

Those guys seem to write interesting lyrics, @piggymirror! :cool

The opening rhythm immediately made me think of this...


...and now I'm listening to it.

Thanks folks, for the Stranglers tracks - that's something less explored for me than I'd have liked, so it's good to get this on "Curefans FM"... ;)

Like a little diamond in the rough"

They're all into it, but the keyboard player really makes me smile! :)

Well, might as well post something else Celtic I listened to today - if anyone here has never heard Uilleann Pipes before, this is a good intro.


PS: That keyboard part on that Stranglers tune  Never To Look Back is super!  :cool
