The Psychadelic Furs new album, Made of Rain has been delayed until July 31st - was supposed to come out this weekend. The first single, Don't Believe, sounds like vintage PFurs - closer to their older post-punk
roots than their glossy New Wave peak, but smoothed over.

Can't WAIT to listen to this album. I saw them live waaaaay back in the
early 90's at my university in Riverside, California. It was "The World
Outside Tour" in the USA, I think. So good.

It was also the same year that Echo & The Bunnymen came to campus as well, but without lead signer Ian McCulloch... which they conveniently didn't advertise lol. "Echo and the Bogusmen" we called them after that.

Sigh. Good times. Good to see an amazing band like the Furs still making
music!

I wish I could've seen The Cars.

Last year we have a music festival of 80s bands at a local Indian Casino. Loverboy was the headliner and they blew me away. I associated as a band
my sister and her friends listened to. Never imagined they'd be so good.

1985, Wang Chung opened up for them. Ric Ocasek didn't say a word. Sounded great, though, and Benjamin Orr carried the night as he always did. RIP.

1982, Loverboy opened up for Journey on the "Escape" tour. My first concert!

Ben Orr was a beast. Such a shame he died so young.Didn't know Ocasek died until
a few days ago. I got an original pressing of the Heartbeat City CD of discogs.com
the other day. It shipped from Moscow and took nearly two months to arrive.

The book and cd are near mint. I wasted no time ripping the CD and adding the album to my streaming server. I think my spouse is sick of 'drive' now.

That would've been epic. I sort of feel a slight pull of jealousy. I was eight years old in 1982 and was still playing kiddie music on my eight track player.

Nothing against Ocasek, also RIP, but most of my favorite Cars tunes are
the ones that Orr sang on.

I turned 12 that year. I was starting to listen to acts like Journey and Loverboy, but I did not start attending concerts until I was 17 and I went
to see Pink Floyd. :O

Ditto. I did like The New Cars; Todd Rundgren didn't imitate either, but brought his own game to the table, and the rest of the band sounded tight.

It was good hearing Kasim Sultan with them, too -- he played with Todd in Utopia.

My brother bought 'The Wall' single at gemco in 1979 and I confiscated it from him no time later.

I do have to correct what I said. I largely listened to my kiddy records and tapes and had the occasional gem that my older siblings were l istening to.

No. But I did go to UC Riverside 2001-2003, but I saw HedPe in 1997 there.
