Love listening to stuff that reminds me of moments of my life from the past
Just had the same conversation with an old school mate last Thursday – MTUSA. Vincent Hanley, Sunday afternoon, 3 hours on a 14″ colour portable. Pat Benetar, Love is a battlefield, Toto – Africa, The Stranglers – Rich Golden Brown, Cyndi Lauper – Girls just wanna have fun, Yes – Owner of a Lonely Heart, John Waite – I ain’t missing you at all, Jim Diamond – I-i,i,i,i,i Lu-uve you…I could go on.
And how could we forget the long awaited and much praised Thriller – 14 minutes of ecstacy when it was released and the conversations that night at the night club – “did you see it – it was brilliant”. Ah the days…when we used more shampoo than soap on hour male heads, and a check shirt was all you needed.

Wide ranging tastes on show here.
I like a lot of african music: an album I think most people would enjoy: New Ancient Strings by Toumani Diabate.
You’ve probably got this but just in case, you should definitely listen to ‘In the Heart of the Moon’ by Ali Farka Toure and Toumani Diabate (with contributions by Ry Cooder) in fact, anything by Ali Farka Toure is worth getting. Another I like is Amadou and Marian, lovely vocals and harmonies.
Graham I think I’d just like to nick your iPhone :lol:
btw, John just noticed you’re from my neck of the woods. Nice to see another local around here :lol:

Graham…..is the Broken Social Scene any good?
Actually it’s brilliant. I had never heard of them and a mate gave a loan of the cd. Really good stuff.
they seem like an interesting bunch, but as often the case, i read about this band frequently in places like the irish times ticket supplement….but never get to hear them.
given your list, I’d say Pavement would be right down your street….and The National.
