JIM CARROL - "People Who Died"
Great great song...
I lost this album (Catholic Boys) long ago sadly. It's like it died died.

Supposedly captures the essence of what anorexics feel.

BOW WOW WOW - "Do Ya Wanna Hold ME?"
Back when those rhythms were new, I loved this band:
And, yes I wanted to hold her, hold her tight.
Children, I wanna warn ya, 'cos I've been to California
Where Mickey Mouse is such a demon, where Mickey Mouse is as big as a house
Life is wasted on illusions, Tom and Jerry's my solution
And, yes I wanted to hold her, hold her tight.

Speaking of Pulp:
Very Bowie, very lost.
Here's just the song:
Turn it the fuck up, loud-like.

A-HA "Take On Me"
I'm sure everyone has seen the classic comic-strip inspired music video for A-HA'a "Take On Me":
Very cool on many levels.
But do you remember their follow-up, "The Sun Always Shines On TV"? Behold:
It begins with the end of "Take On Me"... but where does it go?
Tell me.

DAVID BOWIE & NINE INCH NAILS - "I'm Afraid Of Americans"
A perennial favorite:
That last part is cool in how it breaks out of the first 9/10ths of the song and sorta drives the point home... I wonder if Bowie or Reznor wrote that part.

THOSE DANCING DAYS - "Run Run"
Not sure about this one...
It just doesn't seem to come together for me. Not enough "oomph" in the song, not enough cool stuff in the video. What do you think?
