I feel really old saying this but,"they don't make 'em like they used to" The kids of today, hughhhhh. The charts these days are full of boy/girl bands who just stand and sing someone elses song, wothout playing an instrument or .......no I'll stop there before I offend anyone! God, I sound like my dad! I'm only 28, but I feel eternally glued to this era. There are one or two acts out there that occasionally spark my goolies such as pulp (who write and perform all their own stuff) but nothing In my view beats the good old Howard Jones, Pet Shop Boys, Yazoo, Duran, Spandau, Nick Kershaw and of course our very own Mr Robertson to name but a few. I must admit that although I love alot of what Gary Numan did or is doing, for some reason I never purchased much of his stuff. I have the odd single though somewhere! Incidentally, the best live band I have seen over the past few years was Duran Duran (NOT a biased opinion). They are still going and recording some excellent stuff. Check out The Wedding Album & Meddazzaland!

Yes, Paris, Texas is quite nice in the fall and very inexpensive. Paris, France, on the other hand, while one of the most beautiful cities I've ever had the pleasure to visit, is not cheap in any way, shape, or form! While I had a lovely time there, I was really shocked and appalled by the cost of virtually everything. A Parisian cup of coffee makes a trip to Starbucks look like an incredible bargain. John, if you know how an average Joe can visit Paris without going broke, I applaud you! - -- Melissa (but Galleries Lafayette sure looked good after 4 years in Moscow!) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1998 09:28:38 -0600 From: Lazlo Nibble Subject: Re: Alloy: Goodbye Goodwill On Wed, Sep 02, 1998 at 01:03:42PM -0400, MacSuirtain wrote: > Well, I've done it.

In addition to the 80's acys already mentioned some of my other favorites are Kraftwerk, The Human League, Nick Heyward of Haircut 100, A Flock Of Seagulls, Kim Wilde, Yello, and ABC. The list goes on as I'm truly rooted in the '80's. Duran Duran has also been a favorite of my and Meddazzaland is a solid '90's disc by an '80's stereotyped band. Once you get past their teenybopper image you find some truly accomplished musicians who can definitely hold their own against other bands M.L.

I have just signed up for the $6 a month premium access to Bowienet (david bowie's new isp/websight type thing) Its the only internet service that is making a real effort to support the arts. You can submit art and writing to it, there are message boards, chat rooms, neat bowie related stuff. It only just started and it is obviously only at the very beginning of its development but it promises to be much more than a David Bowie web sight. However it is relying heavily on its members to contribute! At $6/month I think its worth it to be a part of the project. (for $20ish a month you can have bowie net as an ISP which has some additional fun details but I'm one of three people on planet earth who likes AOL just fine) There is a nonmembers sight so please go have a look.
