Now Everyone's a Rocket Man

End of day MP3 BINGE

All Seeing I ft Phil Oakey - First Man In Space: dum dum du-du-dum dum dum de-du-de-dum, bleak tale of being left behind by the march of time, lyrics by J.Cocker.

Belle Stars - Sign Of The Times: a request by London's trendy catsgomiaow, uplifting 80s pop.

Snowy White - Bird Of Paradise: came bottom in a NOW poll - find out if we were right!

Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance: surely a remix, and an odd, slightly smug one at that.

No Man - Days In The Trees (Reich): ghostly, intimate sliver of piano and Twin Peaks dialogue.

Our troubled youth...

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

At our secondary school, we had a "Youth Wing" which from the 4th year up you could hang out in at lunchtimes and for a couple of hours after school. It had a snack bar, Pool and BAR BILLIARDS tables, pinball machines, a few comfy chairs and so on. Plus a jukebox.

For about 2 months solid a bunch of girls would select "Sign of the Times" from the jukebox about 3 or 4 times every single effing lunchtime. It became a standing joke in the end.

Needless to say, I could not stand to hear that record again for a very long time. Sounds fantastic today tho'.

Heh, we had one of those as well. You didn't happen to grow up in the middle of Sussex, did you?

Ah, I remember you mentioning that now. I lived in Billingshurst between the ages of 9 and 15.
