  1. THE ADVENTURES

     

    Organized in London by vocalist Terry Sharpe and guitarist Pat Gribben (formerly of Belfast's Starjets), the Adventures also comprised vocalist Eileen Gribben, guitarist Gerard "Spud" Murphy, bassist Tony Ayre and drummer Pat Crowder. The group signed to Chrysalis and released their self-titled debut album in 1984.  The band had two hits "Send My Heart" and "Two Rivers" in the UK.  The album was renamed and repackaged as Theodore & Friends for the U.S. market, but didn't find success.  The band finally had a hit in the UK and US, four years later, after moving to Elektra Records. The 1988 album Sea of Love contained the modest hit "Broken Land" but failed to move much beyond that. After another album the following year, Trading Secrets with the Moon, the Adventures drifted into obscurity

     

     

    Thanks Cain! Hindi man lang na mention yung "Tears" dito na i liked both the accoustic and studio versions!

  2. May size 7 green honeycomb ako na minsan ko lang nasuot kasi it was a gift given to me by a friendly client dati - nakakahiya namang papalitan. Baka gusto nyo i trade sa authentic size 5 o 6 kahit second hand din green o any color except pink ( i have na pink). Ayan girls from size 7 daw size 5 na ako para may idea kayo ano lang built ko.

  3. Thank you very much...

     

    DANNY WILSON

     

    Like Matt Bianco, Danny Wilson was a band with nobody named Danny Wilson or Danny or Wilson.

     

    Top 40 radio developed a brief crush on Danny Wilson in the late '80s. Formed in Dundee, Scotland, Danny Wilson shared the same pop sensibilities as compatriots the Big Dish, the Blue Nile, and Deacon Blue. Singer Gary Clark's breathy, yearning vocals on 1987's "Mary's Prayer" earned the group its first -- and only -- hit stateside, but the band slowly amassed a cult following that usually develops with artists possessing timeless songwriting abilities. Formed by Clark, his brother Kit Clark, and percussionist Ged Grimes, Danny Wilson was signed to Virgin Records in 1985. Two years later, the group released their debut LP, Meet Danny Wilson. The single "Mary's Prayer" peaked at number three in the U.K. in 1988, and it was a surprise success in America as well.

     

    Named after the 1952 Frank Sinatra film Meet Danny Wilson, Danny Wilson was obviously enamored of '60s soul and Steely Dan's cool, sophisticated arrangements. Consequently, the band's retro sound never fit in with the U.K. rock scene of the late '80s, although they were often compared to Prefab Sprout, another group that defied contemporary trends and featured a singer with a velvety voice. "Second Summer of Love" also landed on the British charts in 1989 with a hit "Everything You Said Was True"; however, after their follow-up album Bebop Moptop, Danny Wilson broke up and Gary Clark went solo. In 1993, Clark recorded Ten Short Songs About Love. He then formed the short-lived King L, releasing Great Day for Gravity in 1995. Clark joined former King L member Eric Pressly (bass) and female singer Keeley Hawkes in Transister, creating a completely different sound with hard-edged guitars and samples on their 1997 self-titled album. But, by 2000, he was no longer with them. In 2001, Clark co-wrote and produced tracks on Natalie Imbruglia's White Lilies Island

     

    Mary's Prayer ko nasa cassette tape ko lang. Sayang wala na yung CD Warehouse sa Greenbelt...o shoppesville doon ako 'tambay' madalas where I got great albums from Scritti Politti and Housemartins. Ok Matt Bianco - nakakuha ako sa Calgary (Alberta) Canada ng the Best Album nila...yung the best ng Orange Juice unfortunately has tracks 12 above broken up by static..noon sinosoli ko na eh sabi ng store ownner akin na lang daw hehehe..then bought the Adventures instead...and regretted not buying a lesser known album of the Mighty Lemon Drops!

  4. DURAN DURAN LIVE FROM LONDON DVD

     

    I recently bought a DVD of Duran Duran Live From London DVD.

     

    The DVD concert featured their 2004 concert in London.  What's good about the DVD is that the concert is played by all five original members of Duran Duran from the first album since their reunion in 2001.  Roger Taylor (drums) and Andy Taylor (lead guitar) reunited with Simon Le Bon (vocals, flute, harmonica), Nick Rhodes (keyboard/synthesizers) and John Taylor (bass).

     

    The DVD also celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Duran Duran as a band.

     

    Andy and Roger also gamely played Duran Duran hits when they were no longer with the group.  The DVD features an audio commentary of some of the songs and a photo gallery as well.

     

    Except for Reach Out for the Sunrise (2004), What Happens Tomorrow (2004), Ordinary World (1993) and Come Undone (1993), Duran Duran played most of their 80s hits to perfection.

     

    Here's the list of their 80s songs on the DVD:

     

    A View To A k*ll

    The Chauffeur

    New Religion

    Is There Something I Should Know

    Hungry Like the Wolf

    Union of the Snake

    Night Boat

    The Reflex

    Notorious

    I Don't Want Your Love

    Planet Earth

    Careless Memories

    Save a Prayer

    Rio

    Wild Boys

    Girls on Film

     

    Also features Andy Hamilton on saxophone and Sara Brown on backing vocals

     

    However, I was slightly disappointed that their hits So Serious (1991) and New Moon on Monday (1983) was not in their repertoire.  But the DVD is very good already.

     

    The 1990s member Warren Cuccurullo does not make any appearance although he was mentioned in the commentaries.

     

    Simon Colley, Stephen Duffy, Andy Wickett and John Curtis were not present either, nor were they mentioned.  These four guys were once a part of Duran Duran before the band recorded anything yet.

     

    The DVD features regular stereo, SRS Surround 5.1 and DTS 5.1

     

    Forget Arena.  Forget Sing Blue Silver.

     

    The Duran Duran Live From London DVD is a must-have on the shelves of DVD collectors, especially for the now all-grown-up "Durannies" of the 80s.

     

     

    That would be a nice DVD to own. I think it wasnt in the A&B DVD shelves in 2004 when I was looking around...Part pala si Stephen Tintin Duffy (known din sa Kiss Me song)....sa Duran2! I ended up buying a New Order DVD. Then a Cure DVD - yung B side DVD!

  6. Honeycomb pala cost around 2,800 above - mahirap maghanap ng white - which i was able to get sa Shoppesville. I like my black sports polos shirt right now kasi bagay sa light pants. Yung cotton ko sayang over worn na kasi kaya medyo hindi na ako hitsura.

  7. indeed....nasa P4k na ang price ng mga Tees nila ngayon...grabe.....

    :boo:

     

     

    Ganyan talaga cost ng cotton sa outlets ngayon, mas mura ng konti sa Duty Free. Daming counterfiets sa Greenhills which I never tried buying although infairness some of them closely resemble the originals for just less than 300pesos. Kung gusto nyo medyo mura compared sa malls try nyo Tokyo Hanna sa Shoppesville I bought several from them this year.

  8. I have 1 green,white and pink honeycomb polo shirts, I have 1 black sport polo shirt, 3 polos, 1 sport T, and much recently a striped cotton cost me 4.5+k alone gusto ko naman footware....I love Lacoste talaga...
