Just sitting here smiling, thinking about "Girlfriend in a coma."  might have to get up and put it in....



Girlfriend in a coma, I know, I know this is serious,
Girlfriend in a coma, I know, I know this is serious,
There were times when I could have murdered her,
But I'd hate anything to happen to her.

Pure gold.

Thank you too NG for the background infor on "A Town Called Malice" I like kowing the back-stories of songs.



Not a problem. I didn't even grow up in that era and I''m nostalgic for it. I got 1987-1995 when everything seemed bland. I'd have loved to have been 18 when politics was important.

Anything to happen to her)

She'll pull through ?

8-tracks were my older brothers...

I'm bummed I got rid of my albums. I had some perhaps collector items from The Police and Duran Duran that I ordered from overseas (England, Japan, etc.)... but, I moved a lot when I was in my 20's.

The cassettes were always more disposable to me than the records, so, I've managed to move into the cd and now the MP3 error very easily. I have updated most of my favorite albums. I actually have my iPod/iTunes configured to my home stereo and can play it throughout the house, I love it.  Most of my 3,000 + songs on there is 80's stuff, but am into some of the "new" bands out there too.

Thought I'd share one of my favorite bands and videos... they used to use the scenes from this video in MTV commercials I remember.... I love Ultravox for their lyrics and videos (like mini movies to me)...

hmm... you're not that much younger than me, but, somehow, I felt old reading this... lol. joking [;)]

But, I'm glad I was a teenager even in the late 80's, but, would have been nice to have been able to to be more into the music scene as well (we have that pesky drinking age of 21 here in the states).  Luckily, my brother was a local Video DJ/DJ and Music Director for some Marriott chain hotels as well a President for a local DJ Pool, so he used to get me into clubs to see local artists (just couldn't drink).

edited because I need more coffee.




LadyJulieAnn -> RE: Get your early 80s music here! (2/11/2007 1:28:27 PM)

Ahhh yes [:)].  Love the Smiths, early Cure, all of the "Madchester" bands, The Jam--- all great stuff and albums that hold up over time.

Be well,
Julie

Hmmmm, that's a spot of bad luck....... a foetus can get a drink in a British pub :-) Your brother must have come in more than handy in those days.

P.S. lol at the making you feel old, not the actions of a gentleman :-)







sensualmagirl -> RE: Get your early 80s music here! (2/12/2007 5:05:15 AM)

foetus? Must make a mental note to look that up later in a dictionary (I will have to find an Oxford one I beleive; don't know if it'll be in the Meriam Webster).

LOL no worries — I was just having fun with you and your youth  [;)]  Age is a number after all




sensualmagirl -> RE: Get your early 80s music here! (2/12/2007 6:29:51 AM)

aaaahhh... ok, I looked up foetus, I feel dumb now, it's just spelled different in the states... got it now...that's funny, I was in Germany in the 80s as a student, and I remember that basically, if you could reach the bar, you could get a drink... and if you were with your parents, yah, you could be a "fetus" and get a beer [;)]

of course it's always fun telling my oldest UM that all these remakes the bubblegum pop  artists are doing now were in fact done in the 80s. the horrid expression on her face is priceless.


To this day my 27 year old son tells people how I used to deflate him regularly in the early days of hip-hop/ rap/ pop by not only telling him the music wasn't original, but by pulling the original vinyl out of it's sleeve and playing it for him.

He's been a metal head ever since (and to my fortune his vanilla ice days were extremely limited).  [:D]




NorthernGent -> RE: Get your early 80s music here! (2/16/2007 10:35:41 AM)

Fast forward to 2003 - better or worse than the early 80s?

Manchester band




caitlyn -> RE: Get your early 80s music here! (2/16/2007 1:08:51 PM)

Is there an actual name for that vocal style that most of the new wave bands used?
