The Jam - Beat Surrender [7"]

Typically a single that i came across in a second-hand bin, and thought "why the heck not". Couldn't go wrong with a classic song like BEAT SURRENDER of course, and i liked the cover. It's actually the first vinyl by THE JAM that i own, and might as well be the last since i'm not such a big fan of mr. Weller's work. But who knows... This song is great, though.

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Happy House [7"]

Another copy from the archive of the Dutch Top 40: HAPPY HOUSE by SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES. I'm not particularly a big fan, but this happens to be a great tune so i just couldn't let it lie when i bumped into it. And apparently I'm not the only one who likes it: in 1993, Cappella had a hit with the song U Got 2 Know, and in 2011, The Weeknd released House Of Balloons. Listen to the original by Siouxsie and you'll know what i mean...
