Yes, that was pretty much the impression in my listening today.

How about some (more) lyrics from the 80's "counterculture" Bauhaus - "Small Talk Stinks" Small talk stinks See the young man in his new gown Talking up to his bouffant drag He say he loves you with flowers Something that he's never had A sentence should be like a serpent Quick with a sting in its tail String me a line that has meaning and depth There's no small talk with walky talkies Small talk stinks I said it stinks (from the album In the Flat Field (1980))

And talking about the 80's counterculture, I'd like to mention the very fine compilation of the American Punk Various artists (

Something else, which can be good to mention about the non-Prog 80's, is the the very informative book Our band could be your life. Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991 (2001) by Michael Azerrad - even the author's description of large part of the bands portrayed isn't particularly flattering, not least concerning Black Flag and Henry Rollins. Of other bands profiled, let me mention Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Hüsker Dü, Butthole Surfers and Mission of Burma.  Edited by David_D - March 26 2022 at 11:25 |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

These two albums are also some of those I've kept from my 80's which in fact has been the only decade when I was most into mainstream Rock and some Pop-Rock.

It's been nice! Covid restrictions have finally been getting lifted out here, so I'm able to enjoy more of the country. For instance, just went to Hiroshima last weekend for a strawberry-picking event, and the mall I visited later that day had a killer music store
Sometimes I wish I got to Japan now instead of back in 2020 when everything was in lockdown, because I don't have much time left here  |
