I've just realised how much the chords of this bridge sound like the bridge from The Bangles' 'Eternal Flame.' I'm not a guitarist so I might be wrong but I saw it and I shat bricks.

It's a great song.

The other thing I just realised is that the artwork for this song was one of my favourites and is wholly appropriate.

This is great with "Lightning Bolt" played alongside it.

The 80s often gets the short end of the stick, but it produced a lot of really good stuff. The garbage-to-quality ratio is just slightly higher than the 90s I reckon.

The R.E.M., Tom Waits, Hüsker Dü, The Smiths and The Replacements output alone make the 80s worthwile.

I haven't delved deeper than Disintegration with The Cure. Maybe I should change that.

Ok, why not. Is Pornography and The Head on the Door a good start?

I don't really know enough to suggest albums, I've only heard loads of songs and I don't know from where. But yes, I'd just start anywhere...
