3/3 Modern English never had another hit of this popularity, so they kept rerecording it: There's an alternate version included on 1982's 'After the Snow,' a rerecording on the 1990 album 'Pillow Lips' and yet another rerecording for the soundtrack of 2010's 'I Melt With You.'

[NICKRADIO @NICKDERISORADIO]

1/3 This melting-with-you stuff was no metaphor. The last thing @M0DERNENGLISH wanted to do, singer Robbie Gray said, was compose another song where "boy meets girl, they go to the cinema and make love, and that's the end of it." So, they nuked everything. https://t.co/7XgWRellbT

2/3 The results took forever to catch on: "I Melt With You" was initially released in May 1982, but didn't peak on the U.S. rock and dance charts until almost a year later. (Credit in part goes to its appearance in the contemporary teen pic 'Valley Girl.')

2/2 "I make my own rules they don't teach in school," Jett reminds, "and that's what I live by." Guitarist Dougie Needles provides a perfect, prickly counterpoint, but make no mistake: Jett is centerstage. Long may she roar. https://t.co/gGjsi2ssAO

1/2 "If You're Blue," the first new music from @JoanJett & the Blackhearts since 2013's Unvarnished, provided a timely reminder: She didn't put up with your shit back in the day, and she's certainly not putting up with it now.

Their shared history was formed in a crucible of loss, as singer Ian Curtis' suicide left his former @JoyDivision bandmates to carry on with @NewOrder. Here's why they both should be inducted into the @RockHall:

Patti Smith Remembers Tom Verlaine https://t.co/oUCOq5wYwZ via @NewYorker

3/3 He could produce things that took in the sweep of all of that came before, while still sprinkling in this incredible modernity. There was noise, these unsettling outbursts, things only he heard. Every song was just a journey.

[NICKRADIO @NICKDERISORADIO]

1/3 In an age of minimalism, of celebrating short, sharp shocks and (let's face it) musical innocence, #TomVerlaine played guitar like the rock stars of old. Except he didn't. The solos were long, they searched and squealed, and they knew no bounds.

[NICKRADIO @NICKDERISORADIO]

2/3 No other major figure in the punk / post-punk scene modeled such old-school behavior. But the difference – the "friction," if you will – was the way Verlaine approached the guitar.
