Day #101

Bauhaus / She's in Parties / Beggars Banquet / 1983

The first song I ever heard by Bauhaus (I started at Burning from the Inside and worked backwards). I still vividly remember hearing this song at Earwax Records (Southgate MI, RIP) when I was 15 and being immediately taken by how off-kilter/menacing it sounded.

Day #100

Bauhaus / 4AD / 4AD Records / 1983

Six song EP featuring four originals & two covers (T-Rex, John Cale). "Dark Entries" remains one of my favorite Bauhaus tracks ever.

Day #99

Day #98

Bauhaus / Live in Milano 3.5.82 "Odissea 2001" / Geebo Geebo Records / 1982

Live bootleg/limited edition of 400/blocked from sale on Discogs. I managed a record store in Dearborn MI in the mid/late 90's, a lot of bootlegs would come through and I would score them on the cheap. Decent quality/great setlist (see comments).
