Retro: Book of Love

OMG. Does anyone remember Book of Love?



My fondest memory of Book of Love was going to one of their Gothic Theater performances back when I was in Colorado. We had a group of assholes in front of us during the show who thought thaty they were the shit because they scored backstage passes after the band threw them into the crowd. 15 minutes later, Tam has pickpocketed them, and when those idiots realized their tickets were gone, they immediately turned around and started yelling at Sharon, who, as usual, had NO idea what stunt one of us had pulled.



Anyway, they have a new site up and it looks wonderful...Book of Love influenced my art so much.. their sound was so dreamy and danceable.. *sigh*



I didn't know that they hailed from NYC....I always thought they were European or something.

(I recommend turning the volume down because the website delivers the Susan Ottaviano "uh-huh" from Boy everytime you click a link, which you may or may not find annoying.)
