Here in Ottawa record stores seem to be remarkably robust, don’t know of any independent ones closing in the last decade or so. Mostly applies to Montreal too. Not the case in Toronto, presumably because business […]

Ceremony Blue Monday The Perfect Kiss (bubbling under Temptation, Bizarre Love Triangle, Thieves Like Us, True Faith, Regret) All 12 inch versions (where applicable)

Going to see them on Wednesday, presumably without Blackmore

Seems to me that many different songs have been picked, I didn’t pick LWTUA as it’s a little too obvious (and it doesn’t begin with D) I think it’s magnificent though. On SiriusXM here it gets very regular plays o […]

I think in many ways New Order shows us how they might have progressed, naturally with a different singer and a much weaker lyricist.

Way more than 3. Disorder, Decades, Dead Souls (today’s selection is brought to you by the letter “D”)
