Re: The Morgue
Groove of a different but no less essential stripe.
The embryonic nexus between what we call punk, post-punk and new wave could be distilled down to Fred Smith's alternatingly loopy 4 note 4 bar bassline which opens "Marquee Moon". That's really more than enough.

I think I remember watching some CBGB type documentary from a couple of years ago where Chris Stein still seems to be stinging over Fred Smith's exit from his band, and can't help but make a catty remark how Smith left Blondie to join Television, and how that might not have gone over so well for him after all, considering.
And all I can remember thinking is, are you seriously even pretending he didn't make the right decision?

Re: The Morgue
I'll avoid the obvious...
This makes me sad.
I didn't think death did that to me anymore.
A lot of people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidents and things. They don't realize that there's this lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in looking for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
Everybody's into weirdness right here.
