I was trying to figure out if that was the reason...for me it was an uncomfortable switch.

Haven't seen that movie in years and years and years. I should see if I can find it somewhere and watch it again.

Hmmm... It isn't a question of hate - but Depeche Mode? You can't do anything with them.

Yes to this.  "Behind the Wheel" is halfway-through, and I've got my fingers crossed.

It really grinds the gears downshifting to Depeche Mode from Swell Season.

I too agree. Maybe we just didn't experience that "the-popular-guys-snub-us" thing enough back in high school to understand the appeal.
I thought black clothes and sun avoidance were required in all urban Oregon schools circa 1982. The Cure Protocol, I think it was called. Enforced until the Smells like Teen Spirit reform of '91

Wasn't it back in the 70s when they made a few true binaural albums?  They used 2 mics, one on either side of a dummy head to record the music, and then you could best enjoy the music by listening through headphones.  Or something like that.

Edgar Froes of Tangerine Dream did an album using the dummy head thing in the 70s. More recently Eurythmics used something similar on 'I Love You Like a Ball and Chain' from 'Be Yourself Tonight' in the 80s and Bomb the Bass used Qsound, which was a digital version, on  'Winter in July' in the 90s.

This reminds me of the acronym KMFDM. Don't know if that was an urban legend or not but right now it sounds like a good idea.
