SONG OF THE DAY: "21st Century Boy" by Sigue Sigue Sputnik (1985)

Man, dig that cellphone! It's a brick!

I liked Love Missile F-111 just like everyone else did, but I admit I never quite got exactly what SSS was going for.

Of course they broke up around 1990, so whatever it was they were trying for, I don't guess they got it, huh?

I loved these guys. I still have some of their stuff on vinyl (somewhere.) And, yes, Love Missile F-111 may just be the best song ever.

Amen and Amen, Church.

They were the hot, burning center of the universe in 1986. Many a happy memory of laying around the pool as a college freshman, reading "Neuromancer" and listening to SSS.
