Random single from the collection 2

Gerard came on strong with the Frantix single… though as I remember it, their previous 7″ with the B&W sleeve was actually better musically (not as intense visually or conceptualy, obviously – they nailed that).
However my choices are ACTUALLY random…… hence the incredible lameness of the last one. OK, let’s see what it’s going to be tonight – I actually have not done the random pick yet. Here goes. [break]
All right. Just look at that. No points for guessing what the B-side is called. See, you kids today, you have no variety in your lives (9000, I hope you’re reading this). The kind of TANGIBLE randomness that today’s choice represents is completely unavailable to you. And if you think just because I’m showing a pic of a single that doesn’t mean there’s an MP3 link. Music is NOT the point. Thank you very much.

snap.
i’m waiting for extreme makeover, special matablog edition, where you show up at my door, looking to outfit me with a proper stereo and dog collar.

9000 you right, you right. But tell me, *exactly* what were you wearing on March 12, 1983? Give me details.

i do remember that on my first day of intermediate school in sept. ’83, i wore a bright yellow adam ant-esque dress shirt and studded belt purchased from the unique boutique in the village. try wearing that outfit in staten island today, nevermind in 1983. i definitely thought i was “punk,” but the locals used another word to describe the look. by 11, i was devasted and disillusioned with the scene…
now, the late 80′s are entirely different story, which i won’t be revisiting any time soon.
