I found my old Crackle CD by Bauhaus the other day and have been listening to it none stop ever since.

I'd forgotten how absolutely fucking deadly they were.

I was just telling someone earlier about Bauhaus being one of my guilty pleasures. Didn't the lead singer have his back teeth removed to make his cheek bones more defined or is that just an urban myth?

i cant imagine that that's anything other than a myth.

for anyone who's interested: Bauhaus has reunited (like all the old bands out there do) and has done some touring. i gather they recorded a new song too, though i havent heard it.

I just got back a Bauhaus CD from a friend who had it for *YEARS*. It has quickly moved up in my rotation.

Bauhaus are 'the shit'. A band that I genuinely love. In The Flat Field and Mask are two of the best albums ever!

I suppose Bauhaus were "the first band I ever listened to" for you Mara? It couldn't be MC Hammer like the rest of us.

be a bad boy and post up the picture of him and his mate meeting Harold Pinter, the pretentious gimps!

I see he's taken it down and replaced it with an altogether more proletarian pic of David Healy.

Me too tho i have guiltier pleasures musicwise! embarrassed

Sadly my 7" vinyls were destroyed in a stoopid flood in the Lair due to the negligence of my landlord.. angry but i still have all my 12"s. Ergo i think you will enjoy your stay at the Lair. cool

Man Bauhaus were awesome - a band whose stuff is sooo much more effective played at night in the dark when on your own... v. atmospheric.

Yay!!! for Bauhaus - the band I bonded with my first girlfriend over. The haircut my hair's always been too thin to emulate. They are the absolute fucking schizzle.

Revol, if you flick through the illustrated dictionary, under 'pretentious' comes a picture of your life and under 'gimp' comes a picture of you aged 25 tongue I may be keeping a low profile because of the amount of work I have, but it doesn't mean that I can't come out once a week at 6pm to break your legs on my manor.

I'll reiterate (for approx the 9,756th time), the article wanted people to write about the first band that got them really into music; I've never listened to MC Hammer, and 'WWF Wrestlers' only got me more into wrestling, not music (by the way there was an amazing programme on Sky Sports 3 last night about great wrestling families - Texas Tornado and his bros, Bret Hart) so Joy Division were the only band I could write about.
