I can't believe I used to think this music was cool...

I've been culling my collection of audiotapes and listening to stuff I haven't heard in years to decide which tapes to buy on CD and which to jettison forever...

This morning I played Catching the Sun, a 1980 release by Spyro Gyra. Back in the day (and yes, I got this when it was new), I thought this was fresh, alternative fusion-jazz

Ah! So many choices! I must say, I seem to have been blessed with OK, if not usual, taste in Music, so a lot of music I listend to in my youth, I still kinda like (The Ramones, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, etc.)

But, in the wince category are-- Vicious Pink Phenomenon, Classix Nouveux, Bow Wow Wow, The Carpenters, and ABBA.

Now a days, I have trouble even imagining myself listening to ABBA, but I know I did... I think I still have the old 8 tracks to prove it!

Priscilla! damn, Terence Stamp was amazing in that movie!

On topic, I have to put my vote in for ABBA and also James Galway - I was a very odd little child. *g*

Of course, I still have my Duran Duran tapes, and I'm still a fan of Jean Michel Jarre and Mike Oldfield. I'm still odd. ;)

I was a dedicated Durannie. Posters, fanzines, I even still some 12" vinyl. *g*

Oooooooh

*hearts Duran Duran and Depeche Mode*

I used to put on "Ordinary World" and stare out into the night, hoping to find some understanding in this cruel world where I was such a misfit. /adolescent, hormonal angstiness LOL

I still have, and listen to semi-regularly, several Jean-Michel Jarre CDs.

A toast to oddness! ::clinks glass with you::

*clink*

When I got my copy of Half Blood prince, I cued up half a dozen JMJ albums on my computer and read with him playing in the background. :D

Hee! I sang an ABBA medley in a cappella chorus many years ago...

Now I wanna to see "Priscilla" again, too!

Now I want to watch Priscilla, Queen of the Desert again.

Ah, yes... that movie did, for a moment, make me proud to have not only listened to ABBA, but seen them in concert as well: it also ruined the game of Ping-Pong for me, but that's no big loss.

Ye gods; I think I still have a Carpenters tape somewhere, too. Oy! I really liked Karen Carpenters voice, y'know? But the songs? Gack.

But I can be superior: I never bought 8-tracks! ::snicker::

In a rather embarrassing side note, all the girls were shown the Karen Carpenter story in Home Ec in eighth grade. Whereupon some of the more idiotic of us decided that anorexia would was a great idea if we just didn't take it that far. Sigh... Myself, I skipped one snack and then left the rest of them to it. I need carbs. Hourly. LOL
