Mission of Burma - That's when I reach for my revolver

Signature tune from post punk rockers Mission of Burma. Released 1981 on the band's Signals, Calls and Marches EP. Potent. Urgent. Vital. Covered (poorly) by Moby in 1996.

Galaxie 500 - Strange

Part of the American slowcore scene, Galaxie 500 tracks can be pretty languid lo-fi affairs - as well as a bit rough around the edges. In 'Strange' vocalist Dean Wareham wails his way trough an innocuous trip to the drugstore, turning it into something more. Released 1989.
