Quick little New Wave-related post

because I haven't had much time to really think about the next thing I could blog about on this, well, blog.

Weird Connections: From Dave Vanian to Gary Jules.

Dave Vanian was a member of The Damned, along with Captain Sensible.

Captain Sensible released a solo single that was produced by Tony Mansfield (New Musik).

Tony Mansfield did a lot of production work for Naked Eyes.

Naked Eyes started out as a group called Neon, featuring two other musicians named Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal.

Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal later formed their own group called Tears For Fears.

Tears For Fears released an early single called "Mad World".

Gary Jules covered "Mad World" for the Donnie Darko soundtrack. (It became a surprise hit.)

There you go, all the connections from Dave Vanian to Gary Jules.
