hmmm lets see...i am a youngone kinda (18) and up til last year, when i came
to college, i never really had anyone but my dad (a confessed raver-wannabe)
to share my traste in music with...though now i see it is pretty common
i remember in 2nd grade i think, buying my first record...the single
"Come on Eileen" by dexie's midnight runner which noone seems to remember,
but i loved it. then i started to buy myself stuff like Men At Work,
Duran Duran, the Police, Adam Ant, Ah hah etc...then just kinda faded back
and listened to the radio for a few years. My dad kinda got me into Emerson
College's station, but i hated the droning voices between songs so i faded
into top 40. Then in high school, after going back and forth between
styles (folksie, pop, etc) i happened upon somone's quote book and i made
him make me a mix tape...to myu experience, good quotes=good taste in music
too...and i think i wound up buying most of the stuff on it and finding
an area in music i liked...it had stuff i knew and loved like sinead..then
really got me addicted to siouxsie and the banshees, oh god awhole lot more
basically led me into the alt scene.
Now my non-dance obsession is female vocals they have this unique power
to send shivers up and down my back if i let my throat move with the voices.
So i love the breeders, melissa ferrick, siouxsie, sinead, the cranberries,
the sundays, etc etc etc (oh tribe and hammerbox fall in here too :) )
and yes i did like bananarama and i still reminisqu about the first video
i ever saw...>"Black Coffee" by some early 80's band whose name escapes me
love and frogs!!!
