A New Stack of Music

Post Published:


I got a stack of new “old” CD’s yesterday. I started looking in the shop I was in, and thought about T’s so went to that section and pulled out more than 6 CD’s with groups starting with a “T” and the U’s were right there too, and ended up with more than 6 of that and a “Y”.

All of the U’s are U2. I have LP’s and don’t like the ion record player I have to digitalize them.  So I now have Boy, October, The Unforgettable Fire, Wide Awake In America,  and The Joshua Tree on CD.  U2 like this (early) is pure heaven. I used to play the records over and over and over back then.

I now also have Yaz (known as Yazoo worldwide) Upstairs At Eric’s. It’s an OK album, with Situation definitely the best track and the only one on the album I already know.

The T’s breakdown into Talk Talk, Tears For Fears, and The Talking Heads.

Just last week I picked up my first Talking Heads music ever: The Best of The Talking Heads (2004). So now I also have  Remain In Light, Little Creatures, and “Naked” as well.

I have loved The Talking Heads whenever they came on the radio in the old days, as well as when I currently listen to XM #33 (1st Wave.) I don’t know why I never picked up an LP or CD before, so I’m really, really happy now!

Talk Talk has a song I love, It’s My Life. I had the CD and somehow I only ripped it at a low rate. Later I found it on the floor in the living room smashed, someone put it on the floor and stepped on it. I don’t know how or why, but it happened, and now I have a replacement for it, It’s My Life, as well as Laughing Stock.

Tears For Fears is a group I’ve liked, and really love Seeds of Love, the only album of theirs I’d bought as both LP and CD (multiple copies of it too.) The Hurting now is part of my collection. I love Mad World and Pale Shelter.

Now my listening collection is filled in much better, good solid alternative 80’s selections to go with whatever else I already have from before that, that time, and beyond.
