Stone Roses / Made of Stone (1989) / YouTube

Since I'm working on a buffer of pages, this is old news: when I was coloring this page (in late November 2025) the news came through that Mani from the Stone Roses died so of course I had to throw in something with him... What's the buffer, you ask? I'm trying to stay at least 30 pages ahead of what's posting. I wasn't able to maintain anything near this the first time around, but so far so good this time (it helps that I'm not writing as I'm going now!).

Playlist:
The Armoury Show / Waiting for the Floods (1985) / YouTube

Playlist:
Cocteau Twins / Blue Bell Knoll (1988) / YouTube

And that's for Part 3! Part 4 starts next week. It looks like there was a hiccup with the cache; if you're seeing a bunch of updates at once... oops. 

Playlist:
The Walkmen / Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone (2002) / YouTube

Playlist:
Chameleons / In Shreds (1982) / YouTube

There's a remastered version of this that I just found out about but I'm linking the 12" version so you can enjoy the wonderfully strange artwork by one of the band's guitar players, Reg Smithies. (Though I wish it wasn't cropped; here's the original.) I went down a bit of a rabbit hole looking this one up and thought about trying to get the single, but it's both expensive and only for sale from other countries (with hefty shipping costs). Ah well! 

Playlist:
Wipers / Tragedy (1980) / Bandcamp

The first Wipers song I remember hearing is from this album and I wouldn't have guessed it was released in 1980; it's just ridiculously good. 

Playlist:
Stereolab / Light That Will Cease to Fail (1992) / Bandcamp

Want a couple pages early? Subscribe to the monthly newsletter. I'm plugging this because I've diligently put together a couple upcoming ones so I can confidently say the next few will go out on time :)

Playlist:
Vaselines / Son of a Gun (1992) / YouTube

Son of a Gun was famously covered by Nirvana (who covered several Vaselines songs). Less famously, the Vaselines covered Divine's You Think You're a Man in 1987 and if you've never encountered it you should definitely check out Divine's 1984 original.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah / Is This Home On Ice (2005) / Bandcamp

Playlist:
Doves / There Goes the Fear (2002) / YouTube

I put all the playlist songs in one spot: voidscomic.com/playlist

I could put this all in a big YouTube list but whenever I can I link to Bandcamp instead (please buy music, especially on Bandcamp Fridays).

Playlist:
The Smithereens / House We Used to Live In (1988) / YouTube

(The Smithereens are a New Jersey band from Carteret; you may think you're not familiar with them but you've probably at least heard Only a Memory...)

Playlist:
Secret Stars / Can U Feel It? (1998) / YouTube

Playlist:
Magazine / A Song from Under the Floorboards (1980) / YouTube

A Song from Under the Floorboards is based on Dostoyevsky's Notes from Underground. The remastered version's really great but didn't come out until 2007. I can just listen to this one over and over and over...
