Suicide
My friend Alan Vega of the NYC duo Suicide has died.
Alan’s intense vocals over the electronic sounds of his partner Martin Rev was punk rock at its purest.
Ric Ocasek of the Cars asked Suicide to open for his band at a show at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club, a show that I MC’d. The audience’s reaction was one of shock and then violence as they booed and threw glass ashtrays at the band which only inspired Alan to scream even more passionately. Their set was cut short.
Suicide, their self-titled debut album in 1977, with patched-together synths and drum machines was the precursor of electronic and industrial music to follow.
“Frankie Teardrop” is one of Suicide’s seminal tracks.

MOURN
Once again I am aboard, this time in Europe, so daily postings will be sporadic.
Appropriately, I’m listening to my favorite Catalonian quartet, MOURN, their new sophmore effort entitled Ha, Ha, He.
The title is taken from the poem “Laughing Song” by William Blake.
I’ve reprinted the poem here; hear “Evil Dead” and “Second Sage”, two from the album.
“Laughing Song”
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it;
when the meadows laugh with lively green,
And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene,
When Mary and Susan and Emily
With their sweet round mouths sing “Ha, ha he!”
When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
Come live, and be merry, and join with me,
To sing the sweet chorus of “Ha, ha, he!”
“Evil Dead”
“Second Sage”
