I like the first Modern Lovers album. "I'm Straight" is such a good song.

Oh, and though it doesn't pertain to the VU, don't forget Husker Du and the Minutemen and their nonconcrete connection but somehow still connected.

OK... I take it all back about the "secret connection". I just thought it was an arbitrary coincidence that so many people are into all three of those bands. I know they have real relations to each other, but it still seemed... arbitrary. The three are all so unique that, in a lot of areas, only actual trivia can group them together. It's not a big deal though. I take it back.

I don't think anybody was being hostile, I for one find lots of these coincidences quite cool.

Oh, I forgot to mention the Joy Division/Stooges connection: Curtis loved Iggy, he had "The Idiot" playing when he died. When his wife found him the next morning, the record was still spinning on the turntable.

I don't know how that slipped my mind.
Oh, another connection: the face with its eyes bugging out right there looks kind of like Ian Curtis.

I like those two bands, but for a threesome The Fall, VU, PJ Harvey
Steve C

Wow... wait a second... Nice screen name...

Oops! That is a quite a coincidence! Looks like stevesays had the name first though. Let me know if you want to change your name and keep your post count (I think I can change it). Send me a PM with your name... or if the similarity doesn't bother you then never mind.

I don't know if he cares, but I don't. I find it pretty amusing.

Cool, so be it.
