  • This is wonderful. It is so truly just it’s own thing. As opposed to what we are increasingly confronted with. Manufactured digital musical commodities. Designed with minimal attention span in mind and lyrics that are primarily pandering to the seriously intellectually challenged. Algebra Suicide is good medicine to protect us from the pernicious influence of that sort of stuff. I recommend regularly listening to Algebra Suicide to get the best results.

  • How's that for passing the Buck!!!!!!! ass hats!!!?

  • what a cool chick.

  • great new wave

  • she sucks ballz

  • This coming from a guy who can't even spell basic words correctly.

  • This is such a classic. I still remember seeing them at Link's Hall and other spots around Chicago. You're still sorely missed, Lydia x0x0x

  • Some people are never happy when they receive a gift....

  • higher quality pleasee

  • Algebra Suicide are somewhere beyond brilliant, in a shining world all their own. The fact they made a music video is so bizarre and wonderful. The world IS a wild place.

  • I can't believe she's gone. I am so glad I did get to see her in person. I saw her in Chicago in the 80s and had her cassette up until just recently. This is one of my favorite songs from the 80s too. She was so very talented and it is so very sad that she is gone at such a young age.

  • i've been looking for this literally for years. thank you.

  • Wow. One of my favourite songs of the 80s. Thank you so much for posting! ! !

  • cam grasutza, nu crezi valentino?

  • she's my #1 hero

  • The progression in this is almost the same as the VU's "Heroin". I remember Algebra Suicide playing occasionally in NY in the early '90's but never got a chance to see them. She was the"other Lydia" (as opposed to Miss Lunch) and was sharp as hell. But this cut always made me think it wasn't going to end well for her.

    It didn't.

  • Your right, Ithe beat does sound like The Velvet Underground - Heroin I used to love that song, This song is not that bad either.

  • "The world? The world is not a wild place."

    All of Tomkiw's lyrics were memorable and powerful. She was a rare talent.

  • When alternative music was alternative and cool. I miss those days!

  • I am so in love with her voice

  • lydia tomkiw was a smart and creative chick. rip.

  • I love her !

  • dude, you're better off listening to lil wayne and duffy or the other songs you list as favorites, this stuff is a bit too much for you.

  • "Under what stars?"

    She was brilliant.

  • i feel like dead people should not be on you tube

  • Hmm,i was trying to get something different when i came upon this..I'm not sure what to think yet...lol

  • Dig it! Love the macabre message. I loved when these guys came into town. Let me tell ya , fun was had by all.

  • cute, macabre, but cute.

  • lol this is a cool song i have to admit, its pretty funny

  • I just found out about Lydia. I knew her from her shows in chicago. Always very fun. She loved David Cassidy, for real..I spoke a few times to her after she moved to NYC..then lost touch!! I remember her and her poems and songs so fondly..giving out algebra suicide combs..Telling the audience not to share them because you might get lice..

  • oh thats too sad :(

    i still planned to get her more current records... loved her songs ever since i heard the first one...

  • i recently discovered this group and am enjoying them very much!

  • apparently she did actually vaporize in the shower. now that's planning. that's... midlife precognition!

  • According to the Chicago Sun-Times "[Tomkiw] died earlier this month in Phoenix, Ariz., where she'd been living near family. The cause is pending an autopsy; she was 48 years old."

    RIP Lydia, We will miss you!!!

  • I went to Lane Tech with her years ago. I knew one of her best friends. I had no idea she was this big. *sigh*

  • today........

  • That's terrible. What happpened?

  • she died

  • r i p Lydia Tomkiw

  • omg, did she die?

  • she is like a chilled-out Lydia Lunch

  • cool! I didn't know they made any videos.
