Lost in Music

I swear to whatever deity is currently fashionable, I'll have to go back to 1989 to be able to get the original version of Madonna's Like A PrayerWho's brain-dead idea was it to re-release the track with a tinny pseudo-club backing a few years ago, and distribute it to the masses? If they have testicles, I want them on a plate

Wait what? You went off to Australia? What was that like then? I've always wanted to go myself since I have an Aunt and Uncle who go quite often and all they do when they come back is complain about it :\

People these days will remix any song these days and 9/10 it turns out BADLY.

At least they haven't touched my precious Elecrtic Light Orchestra.

I did, for three weeks - I update my journal so infrequently it's entirely possible to slip off to the Southern Hemisphere without anyone noticing. I don't think I fooled my mother though

I have a few friends in Oz and apparantly my step-dad has relatives on his fathers side living there, but I'm still jobless (though doing a work placement at the mo) and on Job Seekers Allowance, and it's all rather expensive to bugger off to places like that. I did get sent a copy of WoW all the way from Australia though, but I can't play it until I get internets, she's never played it, and didn't want it, nor did anyone else.

Dance music and all that has never really been my sort of thing. It was my step dad that got me into bands like the Petshop boys, Duran Duran and ELO. I'm mostly into Heavy Metal stuff like Avenged Sevenfold and so on. But I'll listen to anything once I guess. I'm more into individual songs than albums and bands.

Have you tried looking in charity / second hand record shops / compilations / your friends' parents cd collections? I imagine you've found it by now, though. *g*

I rather hate most reworkings of '80s pop tracks, though I've heard a few good ones. However, they are very few and far between.
