Endless years of false rewards lie wrecked in this subversion
I had a miserable night. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch played Ian Dury to cheer me up, starting with "Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3" and eventually getting "There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards" stuck in my head; it worked. I am also pleased to have discovered Oppenheimer Analysis, because I had no idea there ever existed a British synthpop duo in the '80's whose frontman performed in character as J. Robert Oppenheimer. New Mexico (1982) is essentially a concept album on the expected themes (and some others) and it's great. I suspect many people, myself included, do not associate "danceable" with the Manhattan Project and the Cold War.

I can no longer remember how I discovered him, except I am pretty sure the first song of his I heard was "Spasticus Autisticus," after which he had my attention for basically ever.
Oh wow, that is brilliant.
Every time I think I have a handle on the weirdness of punk and new wave, something like this happens and it is beautiful.
