Talking about Bauhaus and Shepard’s mutual respect for one another, David J wrote:
Music is a message in a bottle. You send it out and there’s no telling who will find it or when.
It crosses time and space. At the end of the 1970s, my band tossed out one of these loaded vessels from the shores of England’s grey and unpleasant land. In 1986, it was picked up by a 16 year old skate board punk in North Carolina, USA. The kid would go on to send out his own subversive messages all over the planet, inspiring many of the recipients to do the same and so . . . on it goes.
If you can’t get to Pomona, here’s 30 seconds of DJ Diabetic.
