Where? Which theaters? I’m very curious where I will be spending my Dec 11th because it will definitely involve watching this movie!

I’ve been informed by my husband that this does not count as New Wave. It is definitely borderline. But he also considers The Smiths goth, so there’s that.

Can you post that AP report you heard or read? Because it is inconsistent with data published elsewhere. The Pew Research Center also shows non-Hispanic whites as the largest recipients of SNAP benefits at 39.8%. Read the full report here:
www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Pew Research shows breakdown of SNAP recipients by race as non-Hispanic white 39.8%, black 27%, Hispanic all races 27%, and 87.8% of all recipients born in US.

It is your company that is of primary importance, but sewing machines can be loud so it must only be hand sewing. The rules are the rules. 😂

I may still make you a nice black scarf though.

It was KROQ in LA for me! Yeah- hard to explain how non- mainstream today’s elevator music was.

Absolutely! The double cocktail, no knitting, gardening, book and record club. 🍸🍸🥀📚🎶🎶🎶

If in my oldest old age, I ever started an international cocktail/ knitting/ gardening/ book/ record club, my initial invites would certainly include you, @cheray.bsky.social, @sallyjaybee.bsky.social, @tgcharton.bsky.social, @mellotronmary.bsky.social, and @rev-colleen.bsky.social! 🖤🖤🖤

Yeah- good point. For example, for me (an American), I would consider Japanese Whispers era songs The Cure’s New Wave phase but wouldn’t consider their previous 4 albums New Wave per se. I culled darker stuff from my list and kept it to mostly synthy upbeatish sounds.

That was heartbreaking.

Yeah! And totally made me want to move to Europe and have some clandestine Cold War affair!

This is a great “background music”album.

Love this one! Got clipped from my thirty in one of the later rounds. Glad it made it on someone’s list.

It’s Blondie for me tomorrow. First three songs this challenge are from American bands with pretty blonde ladies fronting them. First two were from LA. …. Another one from LA coming towards the end of the alphabet.

Such a great song! Have been wavering on adding these guys. They genre jump for sure. I had Straight to Hell on my list of initial picks. Went for a more synthy overall list but goddamn I do love The Clash!
