Fad Gadget - Collapsing New People

More nostalgia. Fad Gadget, aka Frank Tovey, was a bit outside my tastes generally, on account of the heavy electronics in his music. But he wrote a few really good pop songs and I'm always happy to listen to really good pop songs, whatever they're played on.

This is from Gag, his final album under the FG pseudonym. It's a collaboration with (and a tribute to) Einsturzende Neubauten, as the title suggests, but also sums up the whole goth/industrial subculture pretty nicely in one line: "it takes hours of preparation/to get that wasted look". Ah, memories.
