My exposure to Bauhaus was probably like a lot of kids' back then--seeing THE HUNGER come on cable, and seeing the opening sequence and going, "WHO is THAT???" As far as I recall, NIGHT TRACKS never played video one of theirs, so, since Ted Turner didn't approve, I didn't see any. The videos I'm seeing now for the first time, and, I have to say, yeah, they are like SHOCK THEATRE with music, more pretentious than Rush Limbaugh wearing a rubber pig snout over his nose, but damn, they're artsy good visually. Kind of like The Cure's "Charlotte Sometimes" (Rock Hill never--that was a joke that probably only Gil got), but they are filmed, not on videotape, so they look MUCH BETTER. There are several on Youtube--probably all of them. Makes you want to spike your hear and put on a black thin-lapeled jacket and tee-shirt and slouch around a naked 40 watt light bulb in a dark room. Or maybe not. I still feel bad Peter Murphy had to play here. Like Joan Crawford in her has-been period showing up at openings for Pepsi plants. Also, redneck blood doesn't taste good. He probably would've enjoyed Asheville granola-fed blood better--tastes like a wheatgrass smoothie. - --Mark ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:04:37 -0500 From: Jenny Grover Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Bauhaus vids Markwstaples@aol.com wrote: > I still feel bad Peter Murphy had to play here.

He would've been a shoe-in on this list--he turned me on to so many bands, from The Church to The Chills, The Feelies to Felt. I mentioned I guess about a year and a half ago that he had died--a brain tumor--he was only 43 at the time (2 years ago). I was in the record store that he worked in today, selling some of my mom's CDs she wanted to get rid of before leaving, and the woman who waited on me seemed familiar, but, it didn't register at first. She stopped me mid-sentence and said, "You don't remember me, do you?" I studied her eyes, and then it hit me that she was Angie Hart, Ronnie's long-time girlfriend--she was with him in CA when he died, and she recently came back here to live (I of course immediately offered my condolences when it occurred to me who she was). I hadn't seen her in twenty years, so, in my mind I saw a 23-year-old, but her eyes seemed very familiar, even if she was much thinner and her hair much longer and her face older and dressed kind of hippie lady, whereas she used to be kind of preppy, but hey, that was the '80s. We talked about the past--I found out she designed a Game Theory flyer for the Milestone in Charlotte, NC when she was an art school student, and she sent a pic of it to Scott back then, and he sent her a post card. She told me she recently conversed with Donette, and that Donette lives in Canada now. So, it's a small planet after all. Thought this was kinda cool. Maybe I can convince her to join this list! - --Mark ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V8 #221 *******************************
