Risso writes.... Hmmm, not much of one as I don't know when he was born or anything, but the sad news is that legendary eighties Austrian superstar Falco died in a car crash today...and I thought his death merited a comment or two. I was a bit of a fan in the eighties when I was but a bairn (OK 14 and old enough to know better), and have FOUR albums (hands up who didn't know there were that many), ..oh and a few singles and 12"s. So I was sad, sue me. OK it all seems lame as cheese as now, but I tend to associate all music, good and bad, with the things that were happening in my life at the time, and Vienna Calling (the follow up to Rock Me Amadeus, no.1 for years) which got to no. 10 itself, and which Sam Fox reviewed in Smash Hits, reminds me of a a balmy summer's night in Amiens in Northern France on a school trip, when I was ripped off my tits on Stella for the first time and snogged a French lass called erm, well I forget but anyway that's not important. What I mean is that that song still brings back wonderful memories and as such at the moment I wouldn't trade it in for anything. So this isn't exactly "Candle in the Wind" but well, it's 1 in the morning and the best I could do under such extreme shock.... Albums I own: Junge Roemer Falco 3 (An absolute classic, stuff yer Tigermilks) Emotional Wiener Blut Singles and 12"s Rock Me Amadeus Vienna Calling Jeannie Emotional Body Next to Body Der Kommisar Oh yes indeed!! Send tapes to.....!! Risso PS. Does this count as "Doing a Northy?" or is it more of a "Steaming pile of Begbie?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
