    Bauhaus - I always thought that was one of the best names that any
rock or punk group came up with (right up there with De Peche Mode).

    I have the EP 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'  - an excellent piece of music.
The tone of the song is very ominous and moody.  Instrumentally, this song
is very sparse, adding to the darkness and despair.  I think these guys
must have influenced a lot of the 'negative' sounds in the punk scene.
Groups like 'Sisters of Mercy' and perhaps 'Joy Division'.  I think that
Bauhaus is now defunct, due to the suicide of one of its members, but I'm
not totally positive about that.

    My brother has the EP 'Bauhaus - the Singles 1981-3', which I've been
meaning to listen to.  Maybe, I'll give it a chance this weekend.  And,
if I remember, I'll let you know what it's like.
