I have to ask: Does this have anything to do with the Adam Ant song? <3

[gruskek]

Yes it does, good catch :)

I'm a big fan of new wave/synthpop and I like 80s music in general.

I sometimes use bits of lyrics or song titles or album titles as prompts (I've used some Depeche Mode and Duran Duran ones for instance).

More often than not I don't use the whole title so it's not that easy to catch (for instance the prompt tiger came from "Seven and the Ragged Tiger", and "panic" from "Girl Panic!").

And the prompt "Japan" is me listening to "Gentlemen take Polaroids" a lot.

Some of the prompts also come from me watching wrestling and anime. So keep your eyes peeled ;)

There's been a few others I've thought might have come from lyrics, but I had to ask about the Adam one. I love my Adam, 80s is so my decade, and Bowie is my King. :-) If you haven't read Adam's autobiography, BTW, I highly recommend it.

Thank you again for doing this comm, BTW.

I was introduced to Adam by one of my friends from the Depeche Mode fandom. I'm glad because he's quite amazing. I'll have a look at his book if I get the chance, thanks :)

And you're welcome. I'm glad to see you stick around and contribute frequently for such a long time :)
