Gang of Four

Last night I saw Gang of Four perform songs from their 1979 album, Entertainment! I love the album, but the show was even better than I was expecting.

Buzzcocks

Enjoying Another Music in a different Kitchen (1978). They're like the Sex Pistols, but more talented, less annoying, and they sing love songs.

1979

By way of explanation of the 1979 tag, my pet theory of the moment is that 1979 was the best year in all of music history. Don't get me wrong -- I love music from gregorian chants to stuff from 2007. I'm just saying that I think humanity may have passed its peak, and its peak was in 1979.

Madness

So despite its incredibly stupid intro, Madness' One Step Beyond (1979) is a pretty good album. Reminds me of The Specials' self-titled, and both are a clear influence on early Sublime.

Blondie

So yeah, Blondie. So far? Started with Parallel Lines which is typically regarded as their best, although I've been getting into their other stuff. Some random thoughts follow.
