These are from here: a treasure trove of '80s music vids both wonderful, scary and somewhere in between, of varying quality. (Thanks to 
killerweasel for the link!) I got all caught up (OMG! Shirtless Peter Murphy!!) and did a bunch of caps.
Also, is there a decent '80s music comm on LJ? All the ones I could find were exceedingly lame or pretty darn dead. So I think I might start my own.themoononastick and queenbtch, you in? ;-)

I think I just had a squee!attack over the Chameleons caps. So underappreciated and overlooked, my boys.
I've got a couple of live DVDs/videos - none of them all that great, quality-wise. Maybe when I get them back from the person I lent them to, I'll see if I can't make you a copy.
"Don't Fall" will always hold a special place in my heart, though - opening track on Script of the Bridge, one of the greatest albums of the post-punk era, if not ever. I actually did a Friday DL on the Chams some months back, and people on my f'list still talk about it. They deserve a nee generation of fans.
(Also found ticket stubs for Pogues, REM, William S. Burroughs, Jazz Butcher, Skinny Puppy & Severed Heads, & Mighty Lemondrops.)
It was an amazing show. So intense! And I had a friend who left early because he didn't really get the whole concert thing!! Damn rich boy! Script of the Bridge is one of those seminal albums like Head on the Door or Hatful of Hollow or Unknown Pleasures. And ooh, I'd love a copy of some DVDs & vids!!! *bounces*
Sorry I missed that post! All I have from them (digitally) is their greatest hits.
*strangling motions* OMG. I could kill you right now - like, in the best way possible. Burrrrrrning with jealousy over here. Sometimes I honestly believe I was born 10 years too late. My soul belongs to that era of music. All the more reason for you to start a new comm!
Yeah, here's the post. (I wish I could find
And for the record, I also love "Soul in Isolation." I suppose you could say it runs the risk of being too dead on emo-goth-kid-alone-in-their-room but screw that!
"A Person Isn't Safe Anywhere These Days" has to be among my top favorites as well. That song is just SEX. Tormented, angsty sex, of course.
So, yeah, if you want to hook me up with more Chams, I'd be thrilled! ;) I should start that comm right now!!
You have some of my favortire groups here!
I snagged all of the ones for:
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Cocteau Twins - Carolyn's Fingers
Peter Murphy
Bauhaus - Ziggy Stardust
Will credit when I use!
If you ever start a community I know I would be interesting in joining!
