Hi my friend. Great to see you temp back, and waiting with breted breath to see what you and Zimbo come up with. One thing I dont get though is why ye never consider "Streets of Philadelphia" as a song article. its way, way, my fav bruce song. Anyway things recovering here in 2024; both myself and Liz lost our fathers at the end of last year, and that#s not much fun.[1]
As a side note, and dunno if you are much of a Joy Division nerd, but have been considering creating a page on their frustrated "third album". Tracks would have included "Love Will Tear Us Apart", "Transmission", the deeply affecting "Komakino",[2] which has perhaps Hookies strongest bass line, and only god knows what else.

- Hi Ceoil, so sorry to hear about your and Liz's losses—sincerest deep condolences. :-( I don't mind "Streets of Philadelphia" but musically it reminds me too much of Valentine's Day, not sure if you agree. I'm actually an un-Joy Division non-hipster—they're among the bands I've always wanted to check out but sadly never got to. In my teens I became especially familiar with Rolling Stone's 100 Best Albums of the 1980s list, and had a good respect for everything on it, even if I didn't get to hearing it all. Last year I saw someone wearing a Metallica Kill 'Em All t-shirt, then by coincidence a minute later someone wearing a New Order Power, Corruption and Lies t-shirt. I told him, "Hey, cool t-shirt. That guy over there is wearing a Metallica Kill 'Em All t-shirt. Two classic albums of the eighties, both on Rolling Stone's list of the best 100 albums of the decade." But in a way I felt kind of like a wanna-be because I hadn't actually heard either album. Joy Division's Closer is also on the list. All right, tonight once and for all I want to listen to them—I've actually coincidentally been thinking about this recently. I want to start with PCL and Closer, and then try to get to the songs you linked to sometime after that. Thanks for the nudge! Moisejp (talk) 02:31, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
