It's OK to Wave


Thom West says it's OK to like 80s wave music. Upon hearing this, I immediately bought tickets to Echo and the Bunnymen. They play Shepherds Bush in December.

Perhaps Thom doesn't know what I look like.

Last week I purchased two CDs from this millennium. The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots was Kevin's recommendation, and a stellar recommendation it was. Blur's Think Tank is the other CD that's bringing me into this decade. In addition to this modern music blitz, Lisa Reid custom made 3 CDs full of current cuts and sent them to me across the pond. All this is quite wonderful, but I do have to intersperse the new stuff with Devo and New Order lest I go through withdrawals.
