I saw a young bono and fell in love ;). it makes me wonder what everyone else was listening to- journey? earth wind and fire? wish i could get a hold of those videos- cocteau twins really made an impression.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198360.post-1094945518602332382004-09-11T23:31:00.000+00:002004-09-11T23:31:00.000+00:00as far as i know the ad money is paying for a hair...as far as i know the ad money is paying for a hair weave for Nevile Staples. i could be wrong. it could be neville southall..Lokihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924395676931035948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198360.post-1094934959601311202004-09-11T20:35:00.000+00:002004-09-11T20:35:00.000+00:00"Ghost Town" and Terry Hall's miserable visage hav..."Ghost Town" and Terry Hall's miserable visage have added a retrospectively gloomy feel to what was , as far as I was concerned, a brilliant time in music.<br /><br />Two-Tone was great for the following reasons:<br /><br />1)It was the only youth movement where one could purchase the uniform from a gentleman's outfitters - in our case ,Mintz & Davis in Romford. As well as selling cheap, shiny, thin, black ties with Specials / Madness logos transferred upon them, they actually sold the white towelling socks rolled up in little wooden drawers in glass fronted cabinets.<br />2) It made your school uniform cool - come September,no mother could reasonably object to buying you button-down shirts, grey sta-prest trousers and loafers.<br />3) It legitimised boys leaping up and down maniacally at school discos.<br />4) You had to turn down the swearing bits in 'Nite Club' and 'Pearls Cafe' if your Nan came in.<br /><br />Great post.....though what is 'Blank Expression' doing in that car advert?Psychblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960631911036897426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198360.post-1094847527103594972004-09-10T20:18:00.000+00:002004-09-10T20:18:00.000+00:00Specials #1.. great live show, too, even after all...Specials #1.. great live show, too, even after all these years.<br /><br />This tooooowwwn.... becoming like a ghost town!<br /><br />=<A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nuclearbeef.com">darwin</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198360.post-1094811161604857422004-09-10T10:12:00.000+00:002004-09-10T10:12:00.000+00:00When I was living in Coventry a couple of years ag...When I was living in Coventry a couple of years ago, they used to pipe music (well muzak mostly) out into the rapidly decaying mall (They've built a new one now)....on a Sunday afternoon, when everything was shut and deserted, some wag used to put 'Ghost Town' on a loop, really loudly, so it filled the whole town centre.<br /><br />This is one of my best memory of the place...along with the Goth club (the Dog and Trumpet), which was invariably filled with lots of foxy underage goth girls and old rockers getting it on...mmmmm....ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565403340913552852noreply@blogger.com
