evening thread
I've been using my tiny little brain to see if I could pop over while I'm on vacation in september...
It appears to be...
That I cannot :) :) :)

But I will be applying for my passport next week.

Favorite 80's song?
I think mine is probably Father Figure by the legendary George Michael
That or Summer of '69 by the wonderful Bryan Adams

Itunes reliably informs me
that my favourite 80s song is Inbetween Days, by The Cure. Going on number of times played, anyway. Summer of 69 is a good one, as is Jump by Van Halen.

All that spandex and hair!
It's a shame I wasn't properly old enough to appreciate the 80s.

i'm not really sure which songs are 80s
and which are 90s - or 70s for that matter.

And if I picked one - say, "the sun always shines on TV" by A-ha, I know that 5 minutes later Illl think of a bettr one...

"Oh Yeah" by Yello.
Oh. Oh. (Chick - chickachickaaa!)

Or "Vienna" by Ultravox, if only for its jaw-droppingly awesome production.

But wait, how could I forget Yashar by Cabaret Voltaire? I have a feeling the remix might do well in the charts today if you stuck a "JEJEJERRR" at the beginning and made the synth parts sound knackered and obnoxious.

I used to think the lyrics to that were
"when the Master came to earth I made him dance", a possibly blasphemous suggestion that even Jesus was not immune to the power of rhythm. Imagine my disappointment when I learnt it was actually "martians".

Like the guy with the weird name said
Vienna by Ultravox.

Still a fucking travesty that was kept off the number one spot by Ah Shaddap You Face.

Fuck you Joe Dolce, fuck you.

His name's Woodside.
Formerly Woodside Industries.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 23:33, Reply)

And Woodside59 before that, though The Luggage definitely won't remember it on account of it being before his time.

If you don't mind me asking,
how much are US passports? My UK one has 2 years left on it, and renewal is $275.
I'm thinking I might just wait until I get citizenship in 18 months and get a US one.

Too many to mention
But probably "Rock The Night" by Europe.
