For some reason Tarzan Boy is stuck in my head. :frusty: :bleeding:

Oh God. That one's bad.

One of the most 80ish songs ever, though this cheese is stinkier than most.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

The Smiths - Half A Person

:) My favorite Smiths' song, I think.

Future Islands - Seasons Change

Check out their Letterman performance on YouTube, the singer is doing the whitest and most fantastic dance I've ever seen. Also, what a voice!

Whoa, Future Islands.  My girlfriend back in 2006 was friends with a couple of them from high school in North Carolina.  They had just started out down there, and I was able to get them booked as the opening act for a show outside Philadelphia, basically playing for beer, dinner, and maybe gas money.  They put on a good show and we all got sloppy drunk afterwards.  Some more hijinks ensued at various dive bars that are probably better left unsaid. :D

I hadn't thought about them in ages.  It's so weird, in a good way, that they're on Letterman and have Danish fans now. :)

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

"My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison.  Beautiful song in spite of the hare krishna crap.
"If you can play a guitar and harmonica at the same time, like Bob Dylan or Neil Young, you're a genius. But make that extra bit of effort and strap some cymbals to your knees, suddenly people want to get the hell away from you."  --Rich Hall

:wub:  I have a soft spot for the Carpenters.

I'm listening to Pet Shop Boys' "King's Cross."  It has a beautiful Derek Jarman-directed video that was made to be projected on-stage.  And I think the lyrics and presentation make the song one of the most effective mixtures of political critique and personal narrative from that mid-late 80s UK period where you had quite a few (Bronski Beat, Smiths, etc.)

Lolz, "Close To You".  Plays an integral part in The Best of Times, which is a fantastic, underrated sports movie masking as relationship comedy.

Ugh. Carpenters. AM radio flashback.
