this is a fun thread.
first tape that i got really into was the B-52's the B-52's. I heard
that on my cousins walkman on a christmas vacation. i believe it was one
of the first generaton Sony Walkman's too. "Planet Claire" it thought was
soo cool with it's one note electronic key rhythm. dooo.do.
doooooooooo...... i also dug Fred, Cindy & Kate's voices too.
as i grew up and was gettin' pretty heavy on the "new wave" sound, the
first 12"s i purchased. Howard Jones "things can only get better", Depeche
Mode "master & servant" and Madonna's "like a virgin" with perfumed
scented sleeve....mmmmmm......i already had my Art Of Noise "who's afraid
album" at that time on tape . painful to realize i bought those records at
the time right now, but seeing where it has taken me now, i have an
apartment almost completely dominated by vinyl now. i can't even remeber
the last time i even bought a cd.
but like mr. drunkman and others here, i ventured off into a similar of
the harder/darker/edgier industrial music, then the begginngs of rave/acid
house/techno. the rest is history, this is where we all meet up.
(and how could i forget my binge in the gangsta rap scene with the eazy e,
nwa, ice t. i think it was unavoidable if you were a white suburbanite
living in southern cal. them records were comedy albums at the time.
i hope we don't get stuck in a period like parents do saying how the music
was soo much better back in the day. "ohhhh, that afx twin...."
