The Week in One Song: Grinding Halt

From The Monkey Cage at The Washington Post: "As the first installment in a new weekly feature here on The Monkey Cage, I give you “Grinding Halt” by The Cure, recorded live in 1980. Dave McCullough called it a “pop song that reminds you of the Isley Brothers or The Buzzcocks.” Or sand in the gears of democracy, I suppose."
