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”.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>
New Stack of Music<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All of the U’s are U2. I have LP’s and don’t like the ion record player I have to digitalize them. \u00a0So I now have Boy<\/strong>, October<\/strong>, The Unforgettable Fire<\/strong>, Wide Awake In America<\/strong>, \u00a0and The Joshua Tree<\/strong> on CD. \u00a0U2 like this (early) is pure heaven. I used to play the records over and over and over back then.<\/p>\n

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

The T’s breakdown into Talk Talk, Tears For Fears, and The Talking Heads.<\/p>\n

Just last week I picked up my first Talking Heads music ever: The Best of The Talking Heads<\/strong> (2004). So now I also have \u00a0Remain In Light,<\/strong> Little Creatures<\/strong>, and “Naked” <\/strong>as well.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

Talk Talk has a song I love, It’s My Life<\/strong><\/em>. 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<\/strong>, as well as Laughing Stock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
