Wedding Present: Ye Ye Best Of....

Just spent a week in the German speaking Italian Dolomites Over breakfast I've been forced to listen on Oesterreich Eins radio such musical jewels as
Lost in France Bonnie Tyler
Living next door to Alice Smokie
Lady in Red Chris De Burgh
Simply the best Tina Turner
Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep Middle of the Road

Blandsville Missouri ! At least they spared me Simply Red and The Final Countdown
Much to my chagrin they didn't play Der Kommisar by Rick James . no sorry Falco*

For some inconceivable reason . Smokie have achieved ubermegastar status in Austria If John and Louis are ever short of a few bob they should form a Smokie tribute band and decamp to Innsbruck
Despiter their musical shortcomings ,great people lovely place

*Rads ,if you read this I mean Viennese "rapper" not your erstwhile mid 80's forward

Talking Heads: More Songs About Buildings and Food

Joan As Policewoman : To Survive

My favourite release so far this year, the title track is sublime.

Heh!

Funnily enough, I've just spent a long weekend in Berlin where inbetween all the schlager musik, Falco still seems to be king...on breakfast radio at least!

Currently listening to lots of Saint Etienne; Fox Base Alpha, So Tough, Good Humor and Boxette

Jori Hulkonnen feat. John Foxx

Dislocated x4 and Never Been Here Before x4

The Huoratron mix of Dislocation is still awesome!!

WElcome back ST Etienne flawless choice Radler Don't know if you saw my last post on our personal thread I officially entered The Colnago Granfondo this morning As the great David Byrne asked in "Once in a Lifetime " "My God , What have I done ?"
I also did the Sud Tirol half marathon last Saturday no serious running for 3 months and my legs are paying for it 1 44 nearly 10 mins off my personal best ..pleased all the same

One more bad record on Austrian radio one hit Dutch wonders Pussycat tribute to Dylan's Sarah "Misus Hippy" " Mrs Weedhead" was the original working title but it didn't scan

No footy talk please !
