You might have heard of this thing where film critics of a certain age have this thing for the movies of 1999. A generation older, I think I have maybe something similar for the music of 1979. I turned twenty. The possibilities felt exciting and endless and endlessly exciting. I'm still ready to dismiss it all as coincidence but I keep finding all these extraordinary music performances from 1979.
"Inner Sanction," Insex: Obsessive dark tribal pounding tom-tom drums and monster guitar riffing produces compelling prototype obscure British post-punk Goth Rock. Think Bowie's Berlin period with even bigger stacks of speaker feedback. Gives Joy Division a run for the money, even if Insex lost. They had to. Killing Joke. Etc.
Punk Rock Tuesday.
