First and Last and Always

This is not the music post you were promised; I may still get a chance to crank that out before the end of the day. I am hopeful that among my readers are at least a couple who will understand just how awesome this track is. So awesome that I had to put it front of the queue and make a post with just this track. But before the Soundcloud link, you have to suffer through a little story...

Recently a friend of mine posted a set-list she had DJed. I listened through and commented that I thought the set was a bit depressing. In response I got a comment to the effect of "well, it's a goth set, so of course it's depressing, duh".

I looked at that comment for a while and thought about writing back, but I did not. It was someone else's LJ and it would have been rude of me to pick a fight with their friend in the comments thread. However, had I written back, part of what I would have said would have been:
Don't try teaching your grandfather to suck eggs, kid. I was listening to Andrew Eldritch back when your mother was still wiping the poo from your bum.


And now, dear gentle patient readers, a moment of awesome courtesy of Diane Birch (http://www.dianebirch.com/):

That. is. funny.
Makes me wish, for the millionth time, that I had a place to DJ so I could toss tracks like that into the mix now and then.

thanks for sharing.

no doubt and it's almost certainly funnier in my head than it would in reality. but still. funny in my head is worth something :)

wow. brings back the days of Manray...in a wierd, twisted, through-the-lookingglass kind of way...

i especially liked the bit between the two choruses at the end.
