That Feeling
U like that new Grum song?
This might sound familiar then… from 1982.
Klique – I Can’t Shake This Feeling
Angst
“You can dress nautical
Learn to tie knots
Take lots of Dramamine
Out on your yacht
But when you’re all alone
And nothing bites
You’ll wish you stayed at home
With someone nice
But when you think you made it disappear
It comes again, “Hello, I’m here”, and
I’ve got angst in my pants”
You can be smart as hell
Know how to add
Know how to figure things
On yellow pads
Answer so no one knows
What you just said
But when you’re all alone
You and your head
What’s the computer say, it’s mumbling now
It says “hey Joe”
It’s spelled it out and
“You’ve got angst in your pants”
Hit Em Up
At the height of the mid 90s East vs West feud, 2Pac put out this song just a couple years after he was shot five times in Manhattan.
About three months after its release he was shot dead in Vegas.

Holy moly NO MORE STRANGERS HALLOWEEN was just unreal! Our secret Chinatown loft space (aka The Lions Den) was wall to wall by 11 and the sweaty singalong makeout dance jamboree was so crazy crazy crazy.
UPDATE: You’ve got to check out the pictures! PHOTOS FROM NMS HALLOWEEN HERE.
Along with the usual mess of mobile phones, jackets, and wallets you usually find, we also found a bag of bread, a glass bottle of milk, love letters, the weirdest wall stains you can imagine (in the weirdest places), and a bunch of spinach. Milk and spinach at a dance party!
A massive thank you to everyone who came out to dance and check out the amazing bands. Winnie Cooper and the NO MORE STRANGERS family love you!
Stevie Wonder – Love Light In Flight
Don’t forget NO MORE STRANGERS is back at SMILEY’S this coming Saturday with live guests Modern Creatures and Tight Solid!

I feel embarrassed that I’ve completely ignored this song for years. Things just get lost in the shuffle.
It reaches out and pulls you in every time. Amazing.
New Order – Ceremony (Roctakon Edit)
Phil Collins May Never Drum Again!!
Somewhere, Patrick Bateman and Mike Tyson are shedding a single tear.
“Collins told the paper that, after years of sitting in a certain position to play drums, his vertebrae were crushing his spinal chord. He had surgery for the situation, but the end result is that he cannot hold his drumsticks.
Phil told the paper, It comes from years of playing. I can’t even hold the sticks properly without it being painful. I even used to tape the sticks to my hands to get through.
But don’t worry, I can still sing.”
At least there’s that.
