     "In Vince We Trust"

 

   I can't wait to see YazU.K. w/Psychedelic Furs when they come 

to L.A. (Orange County actually but let's not remind ourselves of that).   

I've seen Erasure twice and Psych.Furs once and I know there won't 

be a bad note the whole night.

(the following not for the squeamish...)

 

   I confess... (pun intended), yeah 80s pop is a secret guilty pleasure of mine.

I'd love to see Human League live just to see 'em play Seconds and Being Boiled 

(plus me and my older brother love used to love doing "Mirror Man" and "Love Action"

whenever family-nite karaoke would permit)

 

*winces*

 

   Somewhere along the 'Via Ottanta' i managed to hear "Follow The Leaders" and 

things turned a new corner.

 

TTTTTTTT's

(looking at the current state of things)

'Save me..                                                
 save me from Tomorrow..                          
 I don't want to sail in this Ship Of Fools...!'

I’ll stick my neck right out here and confess to loving loads of 80s pop.  9 of my top 10 favourite songs are 80s songs (I discovered that when my dad in NZ asked me to write him a list).  But I’m hardly stuck in the past, though.

 

The majority of 80s pop is awful – most pop from any decade is shite (look at the 70s!).  But I love loads of it - Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Human League (pre-84).  I saw Yazoo live on Saturday night and was just expecting some nostalgic tinkly synthpop.  But I was floored by it.  Best sounding gig I’ve been to.  It was seriously funky disco – and there’s nowt wrong with that.

 

Should I get my coat?

Yes, some of the dance stuff was very, very cool (especially the Orb)!
