By the time GOONIES rolled around, I was ready for something more grown up. I wanted to learn about being an adult (I sure wasn’t going to learn it at home) and I looked to #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees (& next, #TheCure ) to define the parameters of adulthood, emotions, navigating the world as a creative (& though I didn’t know it at time, #ActuallyAutistic ) person, and the shields and walls one has to maintain just to survive in a world of “normal” people.

Though I aspired to Siouxsie and Robert Smith levels of maturity, I realize now many of the lessons I took from their music were wildly inaccurate in regards to everyday adulthood 🤣 but they absolutely taught me how to express my bigger and more dramatic feelings and follow my vision.

THE CREATURES

1983 UK pressing

Been a VERY long time since I’ve played this.

A side project of Siouxsie Sioux & Budgie, it’s not something I’m choosing to listen to over an actual Banshees record, but it’s got its moments for sure.

If a punk album could be tropical, this would be it. Which makes sense, as it was recorded in Hawaii.

The single “Miss The Girl” is still the best highlight here, along with “Ice House”.

"Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?

But, whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But, whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust..."
- Siouxsie & the Banshees, Cities In Dust, 1988
