Saw the work of Vienna Actionist Günter Brus for the first time: his piece Extreme Tension (1970) in which he abases & hurts himself in ways that felt like direct atonement for the harm caused by Austria & Germany. I felt like he was doing it for me. I had a strong reaction: empathy, tears, shaking.

Softcell, Tainted Love 12", at the record store on 98th and Broadway in Manhattan that mostly sold disco albums and drug paraphernalia, which as a child I thought was some sort of household decor. 1982. Any other New Yorkers remember the name of that place?
