Heres my 2. The Palisades is what started it all for me. Got it for my 21st.
Bought the Team Marin later as dad had same year Pine Mountain I always hankered after.

Some awesome tunes here, The The, The Cure, The Bunnymen and Talk Talk. Gotta love some Jefferey Daniels from Shalamar!

Here’s my Retrotec on an interesting and lengthy winter commute.

Yeah much better this week. But this bit is a bit clunky.

Looked a bit like some 70’s TOTP/ Doctor Who special effects being applied.
Bet the presenter is nervous Boulting may get his gig.

Left ours at the park and ride when we did the lemming a few years back.

Blur margate and Blur Wolves. It’s gonna be emotional.

Bit on Bowies thoughts on moot from potential new book

BOWIE OBJECT – Exclusive Preview!

Thought of another one

Oar by Alexander “Skip” Spence. Or any album by Moby Grape for that matter.

Didn’t everyone have The Return of Bruno back when Moonlighting was the best show on tv?
Someone mentioned the Adventures. Just send my Heart was a top track.

love and money – Strange kind of Love
fat lady sings – Twist
Diesel park west – Shakespeare alabama

Saw the last 3 songs of that programme. I guess cos they’re successful now they aren’t cool anymore in the eyes of the NMe but back when they broke with Final Straw it was ok to like them. I think they are amazing and Gary Lightbody is seriously underestimated as a songwriter and quirky front man. Give me them over Coldplay anyday. They were brilliant on this last tour as well.

……and don’t be stingy baby” were the first lines said by Greta Garbo in her first talkie.

Ok debut album in new persona. Does anyone know if the Lizzie grant album was in the same style?

Considering most new artists first albums rarely live up to the hype and are a crushing disappointment, I thought her album was refreshingly great and a good antidote to the mindless, meaningless pop of other current artists.

um! Thompson Twins Quick Step and Sidekick.

I agree, for me best album in a long time.

Watched the first 3 seasons then missed half of season 4 before I realised it was on so am waiting for a box set. I really like it but I don’t like the way series go on and on with no real resolution. It perhaps should have been 2 seasons long and then perhaps a movie at some point? Love all the geek fan boy references and Sarah when she worked at Wienerlicious!

Or my almost favourite

i think the fashion for cuping themselves underneath their baggy grey marl trackie bottoms is quite hideous.

What of Adam and Joe??

these people were cheapest when i bought one for mrs rowley

my mum thought i was a reincarnation of hitler as i was scared of black people and liked blondes and used to hum the german national anthem at the age of 3 without them knowing where i might have heard it before.

Only throwback i have to that time now is my love of VW beetles.

not sure if it was irrational but biggest fear was threat of pending nuclear war which seemed to hang over us with public information films about taking your doors off and leaning them against a wall to create a shelter etc. Even childrens author Raymond Briggs was covering it in When the Wind Blows.

+ 2 for anniversary poster reprint!

its Emo Phillips not Steven Wright!
