Hair Band Alert

Yeah, started watching the 1987 episode of Countdown, the era of Hawke, Thatcher, Gorby and when Reagan wasn't just an aircraft carrier, and Europe's Final Countdown is first off the taxi ranks. I'm sure I have heard that song in car ads the last five years or so, but the leather jackets, the tight pants, the lipstick, the hair - it's the total package LOL. And look, they're moshing now...

Oh. Love this song, Bizarre Love Triangle, by New Order. Love the Frente version even more, but eh, you take what you can get - it was Frente that remade it, am I right? And Crowded House are the hosts this 'week' - hmm, what are you supposed to feel when you see someone who committed suicide later on, thinking of their drummer, who around this time last year I think left this mortal coil. It's been ages since I have seen a pic or video of Kurt Cobain as well...

George Michael with his best Iceman from Top Gun plus stubble look in the Knew You Were Waiting vid. It's interesting how 25 years can change reputations, in the past hour I have watched Michael Jackson, Gary Glitter and George Michael be mentioned on the show. Remember, Georgie boy got caught by that undercover cop exposing himself in the public toilets in LA. Didn't seem to harm his career like the other two though, but still, a dent in his rep nonetheless...

I could go on, Cameo's Word Up just on at the moment, but eh, have said enough about old music already this morning I think :)
