Happy Birthday to Stuart Leslie Goddard aka Adam Ant, lead singer of Bazooka Joe and post punk / new wave group Adam and the Ants, born on this day in 1954 in London
For years I tried to find a song that was released exactly the day I was born. At some point I saw the date on this song, but different sources disagree on the exact date. At least I can say more or less sure that this song was first ever released in a time frame of +/- 5 days around the day I was born.

THE FEELIES
Crazy Rhythms
2009 U.S. remastered reissue
Although I do like & appreciate the Feelies albums that followed, none captured the frenetic, wild spirit of Crazy Rhythms.
It’s one of those singular lightning-in-a-bottle type records; musical chemistry hitting its high at the right place and time.
The Boy With The Perpetual Nervousness is one of my fave album openers ever, and if Fa Cé-La doesn’t get you moving, you’re dead inside. #vinyl#vinylrecords#newwave#postpunk#indie
Sigue Sigue Sputnik's debut single, released in 1986 from their album "Flaunt It". It was their biggest hit, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart. The track, noted for its edgy style, was produced by Giorgio Moroder after Prince found it "too violent."
Edit: Fun Fact. I toured with them as a support band, greenhaus.

English post-punk band Joy Division (Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris), photographed in Hulme, Manchester, January 6, 1979.
Released in 1979 on Joy Division's groundbreaking debut album Unknown Pleasures, "She's Lost Control" is a stark and powerful exploration of epilepsy and loss of self-determination. Its driving rhythm, Ian Curtis's haunting vocals, and the song's evocative lyrics make it a post-punk masterpiece.

In memory of Ian Curtis, who suffered from both epilepsy and depression, took his life on May 18, 1980, on the eve of Joy Division's first North American tour, and just before the release of their second album
Another underground HC-Crust-Punk-Post-Metal album and this is music I've known since I was a teenager (not this). The @mirlo is a good online alternative for me to listen to underground music.
Happy Birthday Robert Smith, lead guitarist of Siouxsie and the Banshees from 1982 to 1984 and continuous member of post-punk band The Cure since 1978, born on this day in 1959 in Black Pool, UK
