🤣

Absolutely, me now telling me at 18 about the virtues of Harold Budd, Phillip Glass, etc. The bemused, disinterested look I would be channelling.

Lol, I know what you mean. I am far less judgemental now as my singles & wider music collection now illustrates.

Just listened to it, great album

Better known for their tunes Big In Japan & Forever Young.

It's a beautifully extended version which I hadn't heard before. I'm happiest about Sounds Like a Melody. I've been waiting to find that for a couple of decades.

A few additions yesterday to the singles collection from Kirsty MacColl, The Pretenders, Alphaville, Lily Allen, The Cult, Pete Wylie, Ultravox & Genesis #weekendsingles

It's #caturday so I think I'll play some fortnite

Found some more weekend CD singles this week from Love & Money, Elbow, Art of Noise, OMD, Simply Red, Eurythmics, Prince & Squeeze #weekendsingles

A couple of recent purchases from Cast & Kula Shaker as well as two recent charity shop pick ups from the Rezillos and the Rolling Stones which is the SACD #cdfriday

No, it was all good, bought new. I've bought a couple of tapes at the car boot recently that were snapped when I got them, I didn't check them properly. You live & learn.

Yes, I had the version with the b-sides too.

My cassette tape of Standing On A Beach is long gone, but this re-release of The Cure Boys Don't Cry is a welcome addition to my CD single collection #weekendsingles

Early EP pressed in Germany

I have some of them on 7", but at 30p a pop with the cute inner sleeves I had to have them.

Recent acquisitions cd singles from Grace Jones, The Style Council, a-ha, The Mighty Wah! & Elvis Presley #weekendsingles

I'll be giving Tracker a listen and as for overselling I wouldn't worry. I've learned that I might listen to something now & not get it, but further down the line it lands. So always curious when something is recommended. It's great when you find something that you need to play over & over.

Yes that Phil Selway. I'll give that Knopfler album a listen. Apart from Dire Straits I haven't really ventured past his early soundtrack work Local Hero, Cal, Comfort & Joy.

So busy almost forgot to post for #cdfriday Mick Harvey, Dickon Hinchcliffe, Phillip Selway & an interesting pop up cd from Justin Greaves - the Devil's Business

For #weekendsingles Bruce Springsteen (presumably goin' down to the streets of Minneapolis), Big Country, New Model Army, Pink Floyd, Belle and Sebastian, Tom Robinson & a-ha

This #cdfriday features Blancmange, The Cure, The Raconteurs & The Good, The Bad & The Queen.

I know it's #caturday but I will not be painting you like one of my French girls.

It's #cdfriday with Julian Cope, Richard Hawley, Skids & Half Man Half Biscuit

Gearing up for a fortnite session on #caturday

So busy I almost forgot about #cdfriday My listening today has included A Flock Of Seagulls, Julian Cope, Fader & The T2 soundtrack.

Looks like this #caturday she's estimating for a small DIY job.

Paul Weller, The Coral, Cornershop, Frank & Walters & Beck feature for my #weekendsingles

Recent purchases from Simple Minds, the Style Council, Danger Mouse & Chromeo for #cdfriday

CD singles from OMD, George Clinton, Ben Liebrand, U2, Simple Minds, Yello & Mike Oldfield #weekendsingles
