thonetteski Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Oh but Im not trapped in the 80s. I just like some of the stuff there, some of the music. A lot of it is really good, pero madami ding junk (even dati I think When In Rome's "The Promise" is junk, as well as as all of Gene Loves Jezebel songs <--- are they even a band???). But that's just me thinking, and I swear on my old Phoebe Cates poster I didnt mean any 80s bashing that might be misinterpreted there OK? So peace out with two hands up! :-) PERO....pag magaling yung banda, maganda talaga yung output, and yung influence nila hanggang ngayon malakas. Like U2, The Cure, The Smiths... Most of my memories ng 80s ay boring - can't really go out with my older cousins because I was too young, and yet I was old enough to like and listen to music of my choice, and all i had was the music most of the time, when I would just be in my room and listen sa radio all night, and then again all weekend. Laro scrabble or boggle, or pusoy, millionaires, game and watch, watch betamax, hahaha ambabaw ng trip noon. Wala kasi celphone, walang internet, walang mga bookstores like what we have today. Nakaka-frustrate in a way kasi information was difficult to get back then -- for example yung Synthecide last week ko lang nalaman yung song name and artist (thanks again to you guys). Of course kasi 'formative years' yung mga memories ng times na yun medyo malalim ang impression. Pero I dont think anyone naman is 'trapped' in the 80s, or in any time siguro. I dont long for the 80s even as I miss some of the things associated with it. Hmm..napapaisip tuloy ako kung anong cultural contribution ng 80s sa civilization :-) wala akong masyadong maisip sa ngayon hahaha! Hair gel research? Anyway, as for the music, I grew to appreciate ibang types ng music. Like jazz and swing, punk, hiphop, etc,...Right now (this month) Ive been listening a lot to Pink Martini. As for keeping the music alive, madaming magagaling na bands sa ngayon ang gumagawa ng mga covers ng 80s songs na magaling ang areglo, if you got time check out mga songs ng Nouvelle Vague. :-) and of course yung mga movies ni Adam Sandler, he uses alot of 80s music sa soundtrack ng movies nya. Ang galing nung lumabas si Billy Idol sa Wedding Singer no? :-) Anyway, a little trivia lang po...did you know that yung song na Love Buzz which Kurt Cobain of Nirvana covered, was written by Robbie Van Leeuwen -- the same guy who wrote Venus ("Goddess of the mountaintop....) na pinasikat ng Bananarama noong 80s? :-) boy oh boy oh boy.... you have missed a lot of 80's stuff, which i might say are still much better than today... i miss my first.... js prom.... where girls dress up in their best gowns, but once the party starts.... they change to a more new wave kind of stuff... imagine this, girls dress-up in their nighties, wearing combat boots and trench coats and dancing to billy idol's rebel yell... swinging their hips and booty to BLT.... and also i miss the slam dance..... with sex pistols's rendering my way or maybe perhaps.... rock the casbah by the clash who by the way supported rebel movement in latin america... hay.... today's punk are far to inferior to 80's punks....

atmosphere Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 moon river is an old song, i think it was frank sinatra's original... and you know why he sang or covered that?.... because that was one of his favorite songs.... he consider himself as a drifter....REM also did a cover of Moonriver. It's included in the reissued edition of their Reckoning album, as bonus track. Their version was really uhmm. . .mushy. I thought Michael Stipe's vocal can melt anyone's heart with this. boy oh boy oh boy.... you have missed a lot of 80's stuff, which i might say are still much better than today... i miss my first.... js prom.... where girls dress up in their best gowns, but once the party starts.... they change to a more new wave kind of stuff... imagine this, girls dress-up in their nighties, wearing combat boots and trench coats and dancing to billy idol's rebel yell... swinging their hips and booty to BLT.... and also i miss the slam dance..... with sex pistols's rendering my way or maybe perhaps.... rock the casbah by the clash who by the way supported rebel movement in latin america... hay.... today's punk are far to inferior to 80's punks....Amen to that. :thumbsupsmiley: Has anyone seen Sex Pistol's video of My Way? Sid Vicious was so funny. Though i'm sure he never intended to be one. Quote Link to comment
