A few small revivals

Joy Division and Lush, two bands less dissimilar than they appear on initial inspection - particularly within my personal musical constellation - and two old favourites of mine, have been on high rotation lately, especially Spooky (Lush's first and most crashingly gossamer and stargazingly brilliantine album) and Permanent (the first Joy Division record I heard, and the one which is really burned into me from beginning to end). If I'd been in danger of forgetting the magic of pop music, this is all the reminding I needed.
