While we're all woofing around, being cerebral, and defining music,
does anyone have a good definition of dirge (as used in relation to
punk/new wave/rock)? It seems to have something to do with dub
(but not necessarily reggae type dub);  and bands like Killing Joke
defined as dirge.  It's one of these I-kinda-know-what-it-is-but-couldn't-
tell-you-about-it kind of things.
