The Wizard of Oz

While I watch the Wizard of Oz and given the recent 

drama after the election. It seems to me that the Cowardly Lion was written with a touch of homophobia.

Just check out the lyrics for If I Only Had the Nerve. above 

I know he's becomes a hero in the end. 

I'm just sayin

I'm Baaaaaaaaaack

More later on my trip to Old Mary's England

Can you hear it?

Off I go tomorrow for five days. I get to see these funny ladies

French & Saunders

What the...? Really?

Here's a real obscure one. I had a hard time figuring this one out. I had heard the song for many years and never figured out the name of song. I only ran across the remixes it when i was working at a dance music store in 1994. I always thought was by DFC.

Gaznevada - IC Love Affair (1983)

It's Italo new wave

Jennifer Rush - Heart Over Mind

Here's an obscure blast from my past. It was 1987 and I still wasn't legal. I remember seeing this video at Christopher Street, Bulldog Road and the quintessential video bar Sidetrack in Chicago. I especially particular sloppy (in more ways than one) nights at Christopher Street. Oh those were the days.




Oh BTW she did this one before Celine but not before Laura Branigan

Face to Face - Under the Gun

I was going through my stacks and stacks of vinyl to convert into MP3s for my iPod and came across this 12" 

Face to Face - Under the Gun (1984)

I so totally remember it like yesterday. I was but a wee child of 17 (1984 you do the math) and saw the video at one of those special social places I wasn't supposed to be in. I was a naughty child. But to quote Janis Ian "I learned the truth at 17". And like Janis Ian I became a lesbian except I didn't like chicks. Oh the sweet blossom of youth.  

Expect a lot more post like this as I journey through the music of my virginal (riiiiiiiiiiiiiight) youth.

I'm On MOG

I discovered MOG.com 

I just love Moosax so now I can find more 

Oooh I almost forgot. I got me one of those USB turntables.

Now I have over 40 crates of records to go through. I hope to convert my favorite tracks to MP3. 

Can't wait.
