Artist of the Month For July: Spandau Ballet

Well, kids, it looks like Spandau Ballet has made it to the Artist of the Month. *does happy dance*

I have been a fan of Spandau Ballet since June of 1983 after seeing the video for, "True" on America's Top 10 and I've been hooked ever since.
This video is the unedited version of the song, "Gold." It was released when they celebrated the 20th Anniversary of their album, "True." Also, I love this video and song. :)
I'm going to change the Artist of the Month for this month and make the August AOtM be the winner of the Modern Rock Idol. (If you don't mind, Ghosty.)
Okay, here is "Gold" by Spandau Ballet.

Last Call for AotM Vote

Last call for the AotM vote. I will announce the winner tonight after midnight. I kind of know who it might be though. *giggles*

Shadow of Love - The Damned

In chat last night, we were talking about how The Shadow of Love had a cowboy feel to it. Well, I give you the video to check out. Hmm, Dave Vanian. *drool*

Video of the Week: Time Warp - Rocky Horror Picture Show

This morning, I went to a special screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and I decided to make, "The Time Warp" this week's video of the week. :)

Video of the Week: Pale Shelter - Tears For Fears

The Video of the Week this week is one of my favorite songs from Tears For Fears. The song is Pale Shelter and it's off their album, The Hurting.

I Made My Decision

I have made my decision and I'm not going to the Peter Murphy concert Sunday. I was thinking about it, and I am able to afford it, but since it's on Sunday the buses aren't going to be that great and I don't want to wait and pay for a taxi. I'm a little disappointed, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I'm going to save my money for a possible trip to NYC this fall to see a high school friend. This is all depending on my job and my financial situation. I'm excited to go see Great Big Sea though in August. It'll be my third time I've seen the band from, "The Tropical Island of Newfoundland." *lol*

Feel Bad for Me

Yes everyone, I have to miss the show this week to go camping and boating on this lake. I know you all feel bad for me.

I'll be thinking of you (which means I will do a tequila shot or drink a beer for each of you, two for Gerry!)

Have a great week ahead!

Video of the Week: Girlfriend - Mathew Sweet

I thought I'd do the Video of the Week now since I'm going to be busy this week.

I picked this video because I love Mathew Sweet and this is the song that got me into him. The video is really cool.

Not Seeing Peter Murphy :(

Sad to say, it looks like I'm not going to be able to go. There are a couple of major reasons:

A) I have nobody that's going with me, and I would have to rely on public transportation. The public transportation here in Buffalo on Sunday (which is when the concert is) isn't that great. I know I'd take a taxi, but that costs money that I don't really have.
B) Money is not in my favor right now. I have to try to save some money for a possible trip to NYC in October. The ticket is $25, but that's a lot when you're on a budget right now.

I was looking forward in seeing him, but unless someone offers me a ticket and a ride I won't be going, and that breaks my heart.

Video of the Week: Mutha'uckers - Flight of the Conchords

The video of the week is from one of the most funniest duos out there, Flight of the Conchords. This is one of my favorite songs from them.
I got into them after watching an episode at my Mom's one time. Now I'm hooked.
I hope you enjoy this video and song. :p

Not mad about traffic school anymore

I know I am easily amused but sometimes simple things make me so happy. Like on the freeway all the streets have short little names like Ray and Elliot (yes the freeway lists what street you get off on not just some exit number.) My street Guadalupe is the only one that's long so I don't ever have to pay attention to the street signs, my eye just catches when the big name is coming up.

Also tonight I saw a motorist pulled over to the side of the road and as I approached a cop showed up and pulled behind to help. That was just really sweet.

I definately drive differently since The Killers sent me to driving school. I'm actually really glad I went. I pay attention to different things now and I really think it improves not only my driving ability but my whole driving experience as well.

I changed up my music on the site. Maybe we should update once a month because I listen to this site all the time and I want to hear more of everybody's faves :)

My XTC Tribute Page

Here is my tribute to XTC. As you can see I have a picture of an autograph a friend got for me of Andy Partridge's. You can't really see it in the picture, but he drew a smiley face on the peacock feather. It's pretty cool and this is in my collectibles area. The CD got all scratched up, but I saved the autograph. Someday I'll get to meet Mr. Partridge. :D

This Is What I Found While Surfing the Web

I found my old website I had made about Talk Talk and .O.Rang. I remember when I first made it I had asked about information about .O.Rang and I get this e-mail message from Lee Harris, drummer of Talk Talk and member of .O.Rang (along with Paul Webb). I was totally floored. We kept a correspondence for a few months. He was a really nice guy.
But here is my tribute to Talk Talk & .O.Rang. Most of the information hasn't changed, except for Mark Hollis retiring from the music business and from what I read Paul and Lee are working on a new project. Here is the link to the site if you're interested. My Tribute to Talk Talk & .O.Rang.
I will post my XTC page with a picture of Andy Partridge's autograph on it soon.

In Search of: .O.Rang

I've been going nuts looking for stuff from this band. They are Lee Harris and Paul Webb from Talk Talk with some help from Beth Gibbons of Portishead and Matt Johnson of The The and other sessions musicians.
I used to have their CDs, but during some money trouble I traded them in, and I've been looking for their albums: "Herd of Instinct" and "Fields & Waves" ever since. They have a very techno sound and I loved their music.
If anyone knows of where to find their material or has them on CD or .mp3 let me know. Thanks.

New Feature: Video of the Week

I thought it would be fun to start a new feature called, Video of the Week. Every week, I (or anyone else) will post a video that looks cool. The video can be from any decade. I'll start with a great gem from the 1980's. :)

The video I picked for the first Video of the Week is a video from The Belle Stars called, "The Clapping Song." The Belle Stars are famous for their hits, "Iko Iko" and "The Sign of the Times." I just love this song because it's so cheesy and quirky. Very 80's. *lol*

Artist of the Month June: David Bowie

To coenside with last night's BRILLIANT Bowie special I give you the Artist of the Month for June: DAVID BOWIE!!!!

The first time I ever heard of David Bowie was in the very early 80s when I heard Fame at my aunt's house. She had the EP of it.

The video I chose is my all time favorite song by Bowie, Ashes to Ashes.



I will post another poll for the Artist of the Month in a bit.
