Love that Abecedarians song: “Misery of Cities.” Great to hear vintage Flesh for Lulu: “Cat Burglar.” Enjoyed the Depeche Mode pick as well: “To Have and To Hold.”
Where can one find that “Amazing Grace” track by Throwing Muses? I can find some obscure reference as a kind of single… but not how it was issued.
Thanks!
The song is “Saving Grace” from House Tornado.
Whoops… I meant “Saving Grace”… I have their “Amazing Grace” off the Counting Backwards EP.

Discogs says it’s on the House Tornado album.
Hey SUE, why the lack of content lately? Aside for blurbs about the Top 100 and XM playlists, which aren’t really ARTICLES about 80’s rock, there’s been 1 article (Dead Milkmen) in the last 15 days. I used to check SUE once or twice a day, now it’s barely worth coming here once a week. Long time reader, at least 4-5 years, but sorry, just calling it like I see it. One article in 15 days.
Well I can understand because none of these bands are in their hey day anymore..so news is not as abundant nor is it as widespread
I’m still waiting for 1982 tho’!!!
Right, well WIRE put out a new album last week and MARTIN GORE of Depeche Mode put out a solo album yesterday, so there is still some activity despite it not being 1982.
SUE is not really up to speed lately.
Maybe SiriusXM is taking up a bunch of time that was usually spent working on this blog. But yeah, I feel ya guys.
And Johnny Lydon released an autobiography and is doing book signings.
Dude, where’s 5/3/15’s list?
Anyways, Nervous Gender’s “Miscarriage” for this Sunday.
Why did you stop posting the latest playlist Matt?
Give consideration to my request, that someone should equate The Misfits Die Die My Darling with Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sin in My Heart.
And play the songs.
