Flashbacks galore this time ’round (most of them pleasant), and yes, the occasional shocking reminder of the passing years from the wee bairns for whom music of ‘83 constitutes archaeology. Happens to all of us eventually, I suppose.

JC - Loved your passionate intro, especially the tie-in to the whys and wherefores of your blog.
- - And for the record; No, no aversions here to any of the bands you listed. ‘S’all good…

… and even if John Hiatt’s not your cup of tea, he’s apparently Nat’s, so I guess it balances out - - ?

First off, Huge Thanks to Tim for all the hard work without home internet. Hopefully, you will have less stress now that you are home wired.

So many great intros, but Jeremy, Eiron and FiL were ace.

Greer, really loved Cath. Never heard of it (which, as a music geek, surprised me. It is the kind of thing I would have been a fan of).

Borderline brought me right back. I forgot all about my fingerless gloves and lacy leggings.

And, JC, I would so love to hear a 1983 podcast all from you. (xxoo from your old girlfriend). I almost went with a Go-Betweens song, too. Fantastic!!

You will all be delighted to hear that despite my excellent tastes, Bella has spent the whole week blasting out Hannah Montana - birthday cd from her sister!
