P.I.D. No. 12


I had this idea of bringing in my moleskine to do my doodling in during the day. But I keep forgeting. Perhaps I feel like I didn't want to make the post it doodles obsolete. You know, because they are SO popular.
Marc Almond has found it difficult to put up a couple of tracks for sale up on iTunes. These were left out of "Stardom Road." So because of said difficulties, he's kindly put them up in his MySpace page for free downloads.
Yazoo - Their remasters should be coming out soon (packaged with a DVD). They have already announced tour dates in the UK. Lucky bastards. Hope they come to the U.S. soon! I just think when you reunite and start touring and all, how about a couple of new songs? There doesn't seem to be anything like that in the works.
So here's the thing. Picture this. 1986. Young boys and girls on their way to the show.....
I mean, the show didn't even start UNTIL 11:30 and that was the opening act! By 12:30, Book of Love would come on to the stage and we were as awake and jumpy as anything. By 2 AM, the show would end - but that's when the disco began (well, he starts off with Yaz's "Don't Go") How do you not want to dance after all that jumping around for Love? We would leave by 4 AM and find ourselves one of those 24 hour diners to have a meal and talk and about it. None of us really had any nerve to even think about whether we were ever going to find love or not.

Awesome post V. Yeah, Book of Love were great too! Thanks for reminding me about those guys (and gals). Always cool to reminisce about those experiences--how young and carefree were. The Brits are indeed lucky--so many good shows on a consistant basis. I'd probably be totally broke living there. As for the post its, love 'em!

Concerts are like nothing else. I don't know about you, but despite the great sound of stadiums and concert halls I love clubs so much better.

Pancakes.. Yum! I'll eat them anytime!

Kil - I know what you mean. Most of the shows we went to at the time were in smaller venues as these bands weren't that popular to sell out stadiums and bigger concert halls (thank god).
