📀 22 July 1982 — #DexysMidnightRunners release Too-Rye-Ay, featuring the global smash #ComeOnEileen.

A one-hit wonder in the U.S., maybe — but not in the UK. #Geno hit #1 before Eileen ever danced in denim.

🕯️ 40 years ago today, The Damned unveiled Phantasmagoria — trading punk for cathedral shadows and gothic splendour.
From "Grimly Fiendish", "Is It A Dream?", to "The Shadow of Love", it was velvet noir — theatrical, haunting, iconic.

🖤 Today would’ve been Ian Curtis’s 69th.
The voice of Joy Division.
The fractured poet of post-punk.
Still echoing. Still irreplaceable.

#Onthisday in music history — July 8th, 1974
#DavidBowie recorded his first official live album, David Live, at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia. Capturing the raw electricity of his Diamond Dogs Tour, the album was released later that year on October 29th.

"On this date in 1983, #TheCure unveiled their hypnotic standalone single, 'The Walk' — a synth-driven stride into their evolving sonic landscape."

45 years ago today, a haunting anthem was born.
Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” dropped on this day in 1980, carving its name into post-punk eternity. A track that aches, resonates, and still bleeds truth decades later.
