I used to be crazy about Artstart

Lani's Dream - Artstart
I just remembered this morning that I used to be crazy about this band called, "Artstart" with Pido as the lead vocals. There's a venue somewhere in Greenhills, near the lone "ACA Video" there where we used to go to come Friday nights or Saturday (I really forgot when). And yes, we all came all the way from Laguna just to watch the band play. I've also forgotten how many weekends did we go there until we said that we've had too much but it was some Fridays, I can tell.

I also remember buying their self-titled album which contains this song. I don't remember them playing this song onstage, but this has become one of my favorites from the album.

What I remember them playing was "September" and other EWF hits plus some of Side A's old songs. There were other songs, too, that makes us stand up and dance, and that's what we liked about the show. I guess that was the start of the live bands era afterwards. It was a night of fun and music together with my friends who love the band, too. There were a few attempts to get close to them after the show, but we never made it that close for picture nor an autograph.

I wonder what have become of this group.

Swing Out Sister - Breakout

This song has been one of the most popular music during our college days. I remember when we went to see the group's concert at the Folk Arts Theater.

Some people were dressed in their best party clothes and it was just a concert.  I was actually surprised to see them in their preppy clothes while most of us were just dressed in our regular clothes.

Well, the concert was so good, anyway, no matter what our dresses were.  And it actually didn't matter.  We all had a good time singing and dancing to their songs.  I guess their one of the most successful and talented groups during our time.

Last night, I was singing this...

Head Over Heels - Tears For Fears
My heartburn keeps me lying down longer than I wanted to, and made me slept even more than I had to. So, last night I woke up in the wee hours of the morning and found myself singing this song.

I felt happy, though. This song brings back a lot of good, old memories.

Don't you just love LSS's sometimes?

My LSS for the past two days.

Palm of My Hand - Pale Fountains
I wasn't in the mood for any googling (or anything for that matter... I was feeling weak) or searching for my LSS the past few days. But this has been on my mind since Saturday. I don't know for what reason. It just plays in my mind and together with it, some birds fly across the sky. Pretty neat and serene for a vision. But I still couldn't get the song. Although it's been in my playlist (if there were any back then) in college.

I was looking for a clearer copy, preferably the official video to avoid infringements or anything.  But I couldn't find any.

Just sway your head if you can't dance

Never You Done That - General Public
So, the title itself poses a question. What the hell does it mean? Well, even the lyrics still sound strange to me.

Hmm, let's just not mind it. I never did when I was young. I find this music 'danceable' and back in the '80s, I was looking for a 12" copy just so I could keep it, because our turntable already broke and was beyond repair. You see, back then, having and holding a 12"version could already be heaven in your hands. But when I finally found it, I backed out thinking how could I even listen to it.

Later on, I got a copy of a 12"version on cassette, which Rosing later ate for dinner. So, down it went to the hidden files of my mind.

Now, here it is. THE 12"version that I so love! It's a good thing there's YouTube now. I could find a lot of songs that I think only I and the one who uploaded it really liked. Let's just pray that the YouTube police won't take the copy out because of what they call infringements.

Anyway, I used to dance to this when I'm alone. Oooppss, did I just goof there? And now that my feet still has pins and needles, I just sway my head tap my fingers.

Ah, memories. I thank God for them during these times that I am looking forward to making more of when I finally get well.

Right Between The Eyes

Right Between the Eyes - Wax
I'm a little nostalgic today.

Here's one of my favorites in college. I find the music happy and makes me tap my feet.

While in bed, this song was playing in my head.

I have been in bed almost the whole day today because my back hurts.  And this song has been on my mind since this morning after I played a CD that contains songs from the 1980's.  This is one of the most popular songs during my college days and I remember me and my friends were so crazy about it.
