a double~A retro flashback
as i've mentioned before, i consider myself a "a true music-child of the 80's" and a coupla things happened today that reminded me of that, and hence this entry ...
in the afternoon; while working on designing for a new gig, i had the ABC's "Absolutely ABC DVD" (a birthday pressie for meself, bought at Mustafa, no less! :p) = on repeat play; on memiserable 14" teevee in me room (*working from home = rawks!* :p) and i found myself slightly light-hearted and not as stressed as i had been ... knowing the lyrics near-by-heart meant a constant karaoke (im a closet-karaokewhore lah nahbey muah-haha) beltingout-session; which undoubtedly might have freaked out me cat and dog ... but it was good, it was the stressbuster i needed ... mayhap i needed a "nudge" towards the more "innocent" times of yore, eh? *heh*
dammit, i love ABC lor! :)
._.
and as of now, i have (on repeat play again), A-Ha's new studio album, Analogue (bot just last week from Sembawang, with an uber cool album sleeve designed by Martin Kvamme).
and its released in conjunction/celebration with their 20th anniversary since Take On Me entered the charts. 20 years! KAOZ!
(how they looked 20years ago above, as compared to howold they look now; in their DVD portion of the new album ... and Morten is still as vain it seems! hahahaha *ahem*)
anyways, while searching online for the music video for their new single; "Celice" (available on the DVD - song nice but video had a techno-version going on which bugged me quite a bit and hence the search ...), i found Take On Me instead! and it sent me on a crashzoomflashback in time to me foolishfoolish teenge years ~ where i remembered taping a transparency unto the teeveee screen at home, to trace the outline/drawing of Mortan Harket's cartoon off a video-taped music video! ahahahahahahahaha ~ quite farnie lah ~ :p
dun tell me you never emo along with The Sun Always Shines On TV?
i've always been a faithful fan and listener of A-Ha (wif a "hypen" okay? :p), up til until Minor Earth Major Sky, where everything else from then onwards sounded hoohum already (but still i bought their albums irregardless! seow ~ right? ahahahaha *bleh*) ~ until now ... am begining to really like and enjoy the Analogue songlist ... or mayhaps their sound/music now reminds me a lot of their earlier albums?
regardless, tis a recommended album for alla youse A-Ha-"retro"-fans lah ahahahahaha ... altho i would haveta say; nothing could ever beat their "Scoundrel Days" album (my favourite) ... i think i'll godig look thru my piles of CDs for that album now ...
"We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say,
"My boat's leaving now"
...so we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye"
*heh*
