When I saw them live they did a fantastic cover of a Joy Division song, I have a feeling it was Transmission or Digital. I just remember it being awesome. I must see whether I can acquire a recorded version. Amusingly Ziggy Stardust, Telegram Sam and whichever JD song they did seemed to be the most popular amongst the crowd on the night.

I think that's a common Bauhaus issue - A lot of people seemed to like Bauhaus, but not in so much of a buying albums kind of way. The Cure do a cracking version of Joy Divisions Dead Souls.

Oo not heard that. I saw a film the other day at the cinema that finished with "Atmosphere". My Mrs was humming along. It felt like a huge victory, like that time she let me listen to the extended version of Temple of Love on Planet Rock in the car. She hates all this sort of thing. Anyway, anyone going to a Bauhaus gig needs to own Burning From The Inside as a bare minimum I say.

Isn't this about the forth "gothy music" thread in recent years? I am not complaining but I have noticed that it causes less controversy than talking about politics or Palace. Should we just bring up Bauhaus whenever any thread if getting a bit heated? Alternatively should this forum become a goth forum that sometimes discusses football? And also the yearly awards ought to have a "best Bauhaus song of the year" category....

- I know. But it got the old nostalgia going and could talk about the band for days given half the chance. Followed them religiously 1980-83 all over. The neighbours got to know every track from Mask and probably knew the words to In the Flat Field off by heart. And not many pensioners back then could claim that. | Part Time James 15 Aug 17 8.46pm |

I came to them late as I wasn't born until 1981. Essentially just started buying "goth" albums second hand from Beanos around 2000. Starting with Floodland by Sisters of Mercy on vinyl which I had to sit in the dining room at my mum and dad's to listen to on headphones as my dad had one of those big hifi separates systems and I didn't own a turntable. In hindsight I don't know why I used to buy so much stuff on vinyl that was readily available on CD.

I loved Daniel Ash's offshoot band Tones On Tail. Tones On Tail - Pop: [Link] Avant-goth is how I've heard it described..

Major record companies are going back to vinyl now alongside the modern stuff. The artwork of the covers too. Superb. Apart from Mr Ash's doodlings. They were rubbish. Lucky he could play guitar, look good in mascara and fishnets and carry a spiky haircut well.

Did I name drop yet that I am a Facebook 'friend' of David J. His book is very good. Turns out he wrote Bela in his head whilst cycling back from work in the sheet metal factory as you do.
