Blog update: on w/e 2nd November 1985 The Cult reached number one in the NME Indie Charts with "Rain", a National Top 20 hit which has lived in the shadow of "She Sells Sanctuary" since. It's, er... really nothing like as memorable in general.
That is a shame, the EPs I have (see Assistant's pic above) were lovely post-Brighter Jangle pop and very dear to me. They felt like the kind of records I would make with sentiments I would write.
Young Punctum blog update - February 1977, and yes, blue blue electric blue is in there and I was quite wordy about it even (or especially) at the time: funthirty.blogspot.com/2025/10/febr...
