I hate that image! It's been giving me nightmares ever since I first saw it last week... and I'm still not sure if I love or hate the music that goes with the image, the Birth of a Nation EP. It's a band from 1979 called Nightmares in Wax. You might know them as Dead or Alive, who released their first album Sophisticated Boom Boom in 1984. This 3-track EP is definitely a precursor to the 1st LP. Many are probably more familiar with their second LP Youthquake, which featured the hit single "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" -- which is hard to imagine if you listen closely to the first EP. It's punk disco. Totally inappropriate and antisocial. It really has been giving me nightmares. I'm going to just forget it and move onto something more upbeat and positive.
