A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.

From a starship over Venus to the Sun
I must admit I was surprised to discover that Shudder To Think—with their jagged artiness—could pull off a note-perfect imitation of Glam's creamy triumphs. Many have tried to channel David Bowie, and the failures have ranged from bland to spectacular. The Velvet Goldmine soundtrack is chock full of the rare successes. These DC boys contributed two home runs, and here's one of them.
We are not in it for the money. Songblague runs on communitarian values, love of music, and a dash of vanity. If you like what you're hearing, please purchase it from one of the remaining retailers who would like to sell it to you.
The two Venus-In-Furs-fronted-by-Thom-Yorke tunes are my favorite.
