La Flashback

If anything this is a post about my LA/Long Beach days, a time I hold dear in my transformation.

Once I made love to these songs down on fascination street:

    I listened to the Disintegration album end to end a couple years ago, and was shocked how every song on there is STILL just as brilliant, and holds up this many years later.

    Every song.

    I’m a singles guy, was never much of an LPer, but damn, that’s an amazing album.

    And don’t get me started about the Church…

    This is definitely a generational thing. If you throw in the Smiths, Love & Rockets, and Jane’s Addiction, then you’ve summed up my early teen years.

    Keep speaking to me Reverend!

    @Jerry,
    How did I know you’d like this post. You and I will always have the 80s baby. ALWAYS!

    @Mike,
    Yeah, agreed on Fascination Street, my favorite in retrospect, everything Pornography wasn’t. And The Church is a band I knew so little about, but Starfish was introduced to me by a girlfriend at the time in LA, and that entire album is stuck in my head semi-regularly. So many good songs, but it pains me to see their videos, I’ll be quite honest about that.

    @Chris,
    Speaking in tongues is my job :)
