"Darker than any of the group's previous records, was the beginning & the end. it was also their smartest & trickiest work. It was better than everything that came before it, but it was leaner than what came after." @classicrockmag.bsky.social #OnThisDay 1981 #ThePolice Ghost in the Machine

4 jeans & sneaker bedecked lads on a rooftop somewhere, a black & white photo w/red, superimposed letters spelling out the band name & the album title. Every great contradiction that made #theReplacements one of the best American R&R bands is ensconced in that photo by Daniel Corrigan. #OTD 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣4️⃣

"I wanted to write a generation song, y’know “My Generation” for what people like me were feeling. Although, I knew it was unlikely that a lot of people were going to rally around the concept of being nothing. But I did have this feeling I might…make a few friends?" #HappyBirthday to #RichardHell

‘Everything that was popular then in LA was starting to irritate the shit out of me. I was getting really bummed. Stuff like the Red Hot Chili Peppers were happening & I was like, “I 7ucking hate them so much, I have to write the anti-Red Hot Chili Peppers songs”…’ #KimShattuck

1982 was a changing time. Strawberries is an oddity among #TheDamned catalogue. No #punk (except the brilliant Ignite), no #goth but full of brilliant #psyche gems & #garage rockers. A unique enjoyable record that really more ears should get to grips with. #OnThisDay 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣2️⃣ #TheDamned Strawberries 🍓🍓

"...People who live outdoors. You know how after the rain you see all these dogs that seem lost, wandering around. The rain washes away all their scent, all their direction. So all the people on the album are knit together, by some corporeal way of sharing pain and discomfort." #TomWaits

"Was this the record that the public was waiting for, or was it just the waste of 7 sick minds? I'd never experienced this kind of emotional rollercoaster before, I've never forgotten the sounds, smells & tastes that came w/it. I guess that was what they meant: Eat to the Beat." #MikeChapman
