She is an abolute oasis of inspiration to many musicians, including me. This is not on Timderbox though, my favorate album
In 1983, in Southern California, I was in my third year of high school, a wanna-be punker, and I met my first girlfriend. She was a “NewRo”, a fan of the New Romantic scene (which had come over from England). She mostly listened to Duran Duran, Culture Club and Human League. But she introduced me to Siouxsie and The Cure and a few other better bands that I still like a lot.
Susanne, if you’re out there… I still want my Wide Boy Awake record back.
That’s a wonderful anecdote.
I hope Susanne still plays that record and recalls the good times you had together.
This is, hands down, the greatest version of this song.
I like the Beatles but I surely share your opinion.
Same. They really capture the psychedelic nature of the song.
Siouxsie is such a strange phenomenon. Nobody I know has ever heard of her, and I think I only heard her on the radio once growing up. But whenever I look up a band or artist on Wikipedia she’s listed as an inspiration. Just monolithic across the industry yet I feel like I’m the only normal person who knows she exists.
