I've really flashbacked on my musical tastes recently. The Police/Sting, GnR!, XTC (Dukes of the Stratosphere) and huge quantities of Pet Shop Boys.
I've been listening to the Pet Shop Boys discography most mornings when I update the blog. It's got all the best PSB songs. West End Girls, It's a Sin., What have I done to deserve this?, Rent, Always on my mind, Heart, Domino Dancing, Left to my own devices, So hard.
It's really great fucked up relationship music with a manic disco dance beat! I enjoy snuggling into the sugar pop of disco beats with a cup of coffee, a view of 'frisco and my thoughts. The Police also has many many great messed up relationship songs.
"I could leave you, say goodbye
or I could love you if I tried
and left to my own devices I probably would..."
I've been driving around SF and the peninsula rocking out the Guns N Roses. I remember the first time I saw Axel Rose on MTV. Last month I finally bought a couple CDs. Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion 1. I can't but help thinking about LA as I listen to Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City. Then I overdose on the power ballads on UYI1, Live and Let Die, Don't Cry and November Rain. Listening to GnR really satisfies my teenage boy - because one of the layers to Heather's onion is the teenage boy, stuck at 14 and getting into trouble. From Axel the jump to T Rex and Mick is easy like sunday morning.
