Guest bairnagain Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Funny how when 80's music gets discussed now by people who remember it, we all remember Joy Division, The Fall, Kirk Brandon and the rest and we all forget our all time favourites Haircut 100, Doctor and the Medics, Heaven 17 and Huey Lewis and the News. I think the time has come to be honest and we should all get get out our "Frankie Says" tee shirts and where them again, though I bet some of us will need new ones as the old ones wont fit.

I've heard Frankie T-shirts are still selling well on f'kirk high street. Huey Lewis and the news - ya fanny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Dickson Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 My favourite would be a single by a Glasgow band called H2O. The song was Dream To Sleep. I remember my football training at Craigton Primary while they were rehearsing in a classroom in the building for a Kajagoogoo concert. Brilliant song, by my single cracked and I can't get a download anywhere. Anyway...... 1. Dream To Sleep - H20 2. Baggy Trousers - Madness 3. Ant Rap - Adam and The Ants 4. Blue Monday - New Order 5. Chance - Big Country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Probably cheaper Tom. H2O should have been one hell of a band though. The stuff they were playing at Craigton that night sounded like a cross between U2 and Big Country but for one reason or another they went down the road of ballads instead. Dream to Sleep was excellent but the follow up single had a better B-side than it did the A-side. The B-side was called Leonard, a song based on some short story we studied at school called The Pedestrian. Got me through my O'Grade so it did. I think after that Iain Donaldson went solo and re-released Dream to Sleep but his solo version was piss poor in comparision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your problem with gingy's anyway ? No issue at all Stuart, I am merely killing two burds with one stone. Stu the gingy fud and Stu the gingy hating homophobe. You white supremacists are all the same, hate this, hate that, SG this, JC that - whilst secretly lurking in your closet flagellating your gerry helmets whilst yer mawz warms their strap-ons over the hot coals.

Stuart Dickson Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Sid, no idea what you mean. Hate Germans, so I ain't going to be wearing Gerry helmets never mind flagellating them in any closet. As for being a gingy sympathiser.....so long as the burd is slim, tidy and doesn't smell, I really do fail to see why I should be fussy about the colour of her pubes. I don't class myself as a homophobe either, after all here I am communicating with you Strummer, I don't think I'll go to that much bother...but thanks all the same for trying. It's appreciated. I'm more interested though in either buying a good copy of the single "Dream to Sleep" or finding an MP3 that I can download. I've tried the record company and stuff but I've had no luck at all.

ST SID Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 he also played with end games,remember them. End Games.......remember one of their songs but can't think of the title: "All I'm waiting for now baby is another chance, surely I can take? Look into your eyes and I realise that I must be crazy" crazy like a white supremacist finding the welcome mat removed from the gingy's door.

Justifying your sexuality when challenged is the first sign of a raging homophobe. Good to see you keeping up the token "hate" in every post though with Germans getting it this time. Hope the mods have picked up on this blatant pompeyesque racism and homophobia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donnam Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Yup I remember Endgames, but I'd really like to know whatever happened to Valerie and the Week of Wonders - any ideas out there?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't quite put a tune to them, but I'm think I taped them off the Annie Nightingale Show once. Totally unrelated to the thread but Bob Dylan doing "I Want You" was on Radio Scotland today. Hadn't heard it for years and it hit the spot for the Indian Summer sort of day we had today while I was driving along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloomsbury Bud Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 This is a great conversation thread - if the Pixies 'Monkeys Gone to Heaven' was in the 80's one of these should be dropped for my top 5. Otherwise its: Ghost Town - Specials Squeeze- Up The Junction Cure- Love Cats Smiths- How Soon Is Now The Jam- Town Called Malice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
