| so most siouxise & the banshees albums are shitty background music?
A middle-aged man stole my boyfriend (who I was going to break up with anyway) and I've been guilting him over it for most of the summer. It's so nice when people actually care.
Most times when I see him at the bar I get him to buy me drinks, and before the night's out will usually straight up ask him for cash, even if I don't need it. Which he always gives me. He sometimes has to make a special trip to the bar for cash back.
Last week he invited a few people back to his place (not my ex, who is out of town), and I decided to invite myself. What was he going to say about it?
The older I get, the less I find I care about people's music collections, books, views from their apartment. It all means fuck all to me these days, and basically I just hate one night stands where all they have is shitty smelling shower gel or gross soap. Cuz I like to shower before leaving the next morning, and sometimes will go directly to Starbucks to read several papers and then the bar again when it opens (1 pm) and will often stay all day and then hook up with somebody else and not make it home for a few days at a time. So I like to at least smell nice.
He had a bunch of Siouxsie and the Banshees albums, lovely packaging and we all know what a sucker I am for a nice digi-pack. They make me want to own lots of shit I otherwise wouldn't care about.
I told him I was taking them with me, and he said it was okay. He even checked the CD player to make sure none of the discs were in the loader.
I have heard The Scream before and various singles, and liked that stuff.
But within a few albums they got really fucking boring. I can't actually believe how bland the majority of their work is.
A lot of it sounds like really classy pop, only with a complete lack of hooks. The lyrics aren't Reznor bad or anything, but I wouldn't call them interesting either.
What is it with this group?
Placebo Effect is brilliant though.
