Stuck in my head this morning: Danielle Dax’s “Pariah”, from Pop-Eyes. “Cat-House” may have been the song that got me into Dax, but “Pariah” has long been my favorite, because it’s so ridiculously over the top. Everything about it – the vaguely voodoo-inflected lyrics, the menacing, flat way Dax delivers the lyrics, the brittle electronic production – screams 80s gothdom. It is not a subtle song. (Which is what makes it so easy to get stuck in one’s head.)

    There’s a slightly different version of Pariah up on YouTube - after a million hearings of the vocal take on Dark Adapted Eye, it’s a pretty nice change. I’m not sure which version is on Pop-Eyes?
