matt henderson talked of eighties love song mixes. just this very morning i kickstarted my old walkman (sadly neglected since the advent of the minidisc) and cranked my very own eighties mix up to the max. it's a heady combination of cheese and quality, from madonna to morrissey, bananarama to the bangles. just the intros to some of these songs make me happy. there is really NO nineties/noughties song that can get me smiling and jigging like 'love in the first degree' or 'town called malice'. tragic really... speaking of which, i think we should all club together and buy ken a copy of the playstation (formerly dreamcast) game 'space channel 5', where you shake your booty as you report on world events and kill aliens using only your DANCING skills. wow, amazing that i can still be so utterly frivolous on sinister even when privately grappling with the meaning of life. i wish i could write posts like lindsey's and bron's... cheating though it is to express your own opinions through the words of others, this passage struck a chord somewhere: "The allegory of a physical mountain for the spiritual one that stands between each soul and its goal is an easy and natural one to make. Like those in the valley behind us, most people stand in sight of the spiritual mountains all their lives and never enter them, being content to listen to others who have been there and thus avoid the hardships. Some travel into the mountains accompanied by experienced guides who know the best and least dangerous routes by which they arive at their destination. Still others, inexperienced and untrusting, attempt to make their own route. Few of these are successful, but occasionally some, by sheer will and luck and grace, do make it. Once there they become more aware than any of the others that there's no single or fixed number of routes. There are as many routes as there are individual souls." i think it might be really cheesy, actually, but i like it. luv archel xxx ps. i originally resurrected my walkman so i could listen to the tapetastic sounds i recently acquired courtesy of corduroy tom and asm walton - thanks again you LOVELY BOYS! ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.
