Music Room *It's fully soundproofed*

[Moos]

You nearly called me 'love' again there, didn't you? Grrr...

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Me too. I have an image of Teddy Sherringham in a black beret doing power salutes.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Moos, as IF!

'twas born of a citizen of the district known as East Dulwich and thus in a way you are right Moos, strictly speaking it was Citizen Eee Dee. but I guess with it also being a play on "citizened" meaning I know not what, Sean is righter(?). On the other hand it could be just that I thought I'd moved to an area called Edward.

Mr Ed

More crucially, I was flicking through my younger brothers CD collection sometime ago and there amid the unpromising Robbie and Elton was "I'm a Bird Now". Wow. Have a listen to this.

Antony and the Johnsons

[SeanMacGabhann]

not the first time you've heard Antony is it Citizen? I saw a gread gig of his at the QEH a few years back - great stuff. Marc Almond came on to duet on one song, first performance after his bike crash

I was at that gig. I think it was Patti Smith's Meltdown. He's got vinyl due out soon and is at the Barbican in October.

I don't know if anyone caught Nigel Kennedy at the Proms on the telly the other week but if you didn't this is the part I liked best. Jeff is King of the Strings.

[bon3yard]

Missed that Jah Lush...I also was unaware that Elvis Costello and Elvis Presley were related.

RIP Isaac Hayes.

Isaac Hayes - Shaft

I think today should be best/worst of the 80s friday.

I'll kick off with I wanna know what love is - Foreigner

[Keef]

Tune! That's one off of my greatest power ballads triple CD collection!

[lozzyloz]

The decade when having a stutter became cool - 19

[Brendan]

Hope that clips is ok .I can't listen to it at the moment as someone seems to have nicked my headphones.

[mockney piers]

tuuune. Dated a bit these days mind (like anything in the 80s hasn't).

Luckily stuff like this is timeless...err....

Sheena Easton (as Diana from V) - Strut

[Brendan]

Seen as there is an entire thread dedicated to electronic music, here?s its more poppy (geddit) side from te 80?s

Men Without Hats - Pop Goes The World

It?s also got a stutter?

p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pop

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

My 80s contribution - on the whole I loathed the period.

Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet (live version)

[Brendan]

Dire Straits transcend decades, especially that song.

[mockney piers]

Though they do seem to be the only thing from the eighties not to have enjoyed any sort of revival at all.

More stadium rockers from the era Simple Minds - Someone Somewhere in Summertime

[Brendan]

Man you don't got to revive what aint dead.

[Brendan]

Isn't it somewhere in one of the Hitchhiker?s Guide books that Mark Knopfler can get a guitar to make a sound that will automatically make a lady?s under things fall off?

Or did I just make that up?

[Brendan]

Anyway back to the 80s

And staying with the lovely Belinda Carlisle

Leave a Light on fro me.
