Red Team vs. Black Team
Tuesday, February 14, 2006
For every couple in love there's another couple of loners sitting in dark rooms listening to Gang of Four's 'Anthrax', which compares love to a case of well, anthrax. Some Joy Division records will get played today, this I know. Others will turn to the Cure or an eyelined rip-off of and sulk the hours away until Wednesday arrives. In times of good and bad I prefer the original.
Somehow Robert Smith did what has proved to be nearly impossible, which is to straddle the fence of pure depression and sorrow on one side and the joy of being in love on the other.
In love
Not in love so much (but you're tough)
Thanks to the boys at Missives for turning me on to You Tube.

No one writes a better love song in a minor key than Robert Smith. Who says that a love song can't sound sad and a sad song can't sound happy? The best part of the "Boys Don't Cry" video is the little kid playing the part of Robert Smith. He's pretty a pretty good fake guitarist.
well put curt. i'm going to listen to "Head on the Door" today. I suggest all others do the same.
