DM is my favorite band of all time. It's funny that you posted this particular song because me and one of my Army buddies, Shawn were talking about this song yesterday. We must have listened to it a 1,000 times during Desert Storm.
I started this blog to create a discussion on topics that I care about deeply. Art, architecture, public spaces, music, food and travel.
As a recent graduate student wandering about the campus of the University of Florida, I'm was struck by how so many AWESOME buildings are forced to co-exist with the AWFUL ones. At one point in the 1970s, there was a plan to demolish everything built before WWII and build anew. Luckily that was defeated. And so, there are a few serious disasters on campus that reminded me daily of architectural sins past.
There is the genesis of this project, please feel free to play along. I'm offering an opinion, and hope you will too.
Note: You can disagree without being disagreeable. Personal attacks and blue language will get you deleted and/or blocked.
I'm an opinionated guy, and an urban planner. I'm quite attracted to New Urbanism, but also think its ridiculous to apply it to suburban development. I love most of the art and architecture of the 20th century, but I generally detest the 1970s. And by The 70s, I mean most of what happened from the so-called Summer of Love to the demise of Jimmy Carter. I'm just old enough to remember the horrors of that decade the first time around.
And yes, my login is a Depeche Mode song.

Glad you like. Black Celebration, Violator and Music for the Masses are the pinnacle of work for a band that has consistently been AWESOME.
