Did you know that Book of Love covered LiLiPUT? I sure didn't! I just rewatched American Psycho, which has a great New Wave soundtrack AND a score by John Cale (another thing I didn't know until tonight!), and one of the songs on it is that Book of Love one, "I Touch Roses". A friend recently played their first (self-titled) album for me and I remember liking one particular song on it, and I was just clicking around YouTube and Wikipedia looking for it, and instead I saw the Schiff/Marder names on the album writers list. Yikes! Why did they choose to cover it? Because it's great? Because they wanted to show off their harder, post-punk roots?
Whatever the reason, I gave the song a listen and it's just...not as good as the original. Let's not make this mistake! But here it is anyway. And the original, to cleanse the ears.

Minimal wave and cold wave, and, this is the first day of the rest of our blog lives
JAKE. This is the song I was talking about in the car a little bit, last Thursday. I hope you like it. I also downloaded that Minimal Wave Vol 2 compilation and I don't like it nearly as much as I like the songs on the cold wave compilation that this song is on. I'm still sort of confused about the difference between minimal and cold wave, but more on this later.
