Five for Friday, Going Blank Again

[coffeefortwo]

As a reminder, there's five here, and one there.

Today is the 197th Five for Friday. You'd think by now I'd know what I'm doing. And yet last week I posted the entry with an incomplete title.

As always, please play along...

Re: None.

I guess "Less Than Zero" should get bonus points for this topic.

1. Richard Hell & the Voidoids - "Blank Generation" You actually get a two-fer with this one, what with "Void" being in the band name.

2. Smart Went Crazy - "Null Set" One of DC's most underrated and underrecognized 90s post punk bands.

3. Public Enemy - "She Watch Channel Zero?!" Oh, Flav, whatever happened to you?

4. Quasi - "Nothing from Nothing" For a band that sort of specializes in pessemistic anti-love songs, this is one of the darkest.

5. Jethro Tull - "010 = Nothing At All" I've never been sure why the track on Minstrel in the Gallery was notated as "One White Duck/010 = Nothing At All" when it's clearly two distinct songs. When I was a kid, I thought this was meant to be read as "One White Duck divided by 010, etc."

Oh, Flav, whatever happened to you?

No kidding! Back when PE was the most dangerous group in music, I never would have guessed that one of the most prominent members would eventually be a TV clown for VH-1.

there was lot happening in my k-hole...

[coffeefortwo]

This all makes me giggle. Impishly.

1. The entire Joy Division catalog...is this cheating?

[coffeefortwo]

Cheating? No.

A stroke of genius? Perhaps.

You're the original gangsta, sir.
