No hair shows you care.
errrrr....that's really weird, i was talking about that VERY THING to mate only a few weeks ago. Only in Scotland the longevity of that Furs LP you speak of, Forever Now, and the one before, Talk Talk Talk, as the perennial smack soundtrack seemed to last into the mid 1990s. In fact, if you wanted to score in edinburgh, north berwick or haddington even now probably all you'd need to do is walk about till you hear 'sister europe' blaring out a window and ring the buzzer

Yeah, pretty desolate stuff. Still sound great though!

Dont be scared
But isn't that about Anton Newcombe from Brian Jonestown Massacre?
Johnny Thunders
Dead Boys (Stiv Bators)
Greg Dulli
All used heroin as far as I recall, not that i was there like, but from what I remember.

Lost in the wood
Stranglers (Hugh Cornwell in particular) - "Don't Bring Harry" (much less obvious Heroin inspired tune)
Frank Sinatra starred as a junkie in "Man with the Golden Arm" but recorded "I've got you Under My Skin"

If you believe Jason Pierce all the drug references in his songs are about paracetomol and red wine. Yeah right, "hey man there's a hole in my arm where all the money goes"

It's a line lifted from John Prine, but your point stands.
I always though sonic was the worst out of the two (junkie wise)

Not quite the only drug-related line in a spiritualized song though is it?

There's one song I always relate to heroin use, even though it doesn't have anything to do with heroin.
When I hadn't been using for very long, but it was starting to get a bit of a hold of me, I was lying on my bed feeling depressed thinking about wtf i was doing to myself...then the song "santa cruz you're not that far" (by the thrills) came on the cd player. It was just the mood of the song, and that first line: "so tell me where it all went wrong..."
I know this song has nothing to do with drugs at all, but I always associate it with that feeling.
"There she goes" by the La's is a good one about heroin.

It's a lovely song that, can't say I ever associated with skag mind you
Of course I never figured out that 'Perfect Day' was about heroin so there's no point asking me.

Oh no, its definately nothing to do with gear. I just associate it with that time of my life i suppose, when i was getting into using a bit too heavily.
It is a lovely song - i love the thrills!
Who?
Not seen Jubilee? Its an odd film. A vision of an anarchistic future from 1977.

Derek Jarman movie, It's got Adam Ant in it from when he was still punk.
I'd expect it to look pretty dated by now but it's worth a watch
The Last Of England is a later, better made, more experimental film in a similar kind of vein (dystopia, decay, fracture etc.) that's great. The first time I saw it people were walking out and that's often a good sign

how about The Flaming Lips?
do they fit in with this whole idea much?
Stephen (Drozd who writes and plays most of the actual music) was so bad he used to keep selling all their equipment and stuff
but I don't really think of them as everr being about heroin or having a heroin
sound, whatever that is.
Same with Gibby from The Butthole Surfers...............

back on the other side
Been lots of good music on this thread, so how about some real damaged good: John Frusciante (from Chili Peppers) album "Smile from the streets you hold"
its all on youtube!
its pretty terrible, but has a lot of lo-fi off-my-tree charm to it nonetheless - this one for example is pretty cool:
