MERRY CHRISTMAS 2018 AND HAPPPY NEW YEAR

Hello and welcome back..

Just wanted to wish all my readers of this site a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2018 / 2019.

Also a special 'Thank You' to all readers who supported this site through kind donations using the 'Shout Me a Coffee' tab, you guys are what keeps this site alive, so "Thank You"

I picked this song because it means alot to me.

It was 1984, I had received my first Walkman for Christmas that year and this was the fist song i heard when i switched it on... 'In Stereo' (that was a big deal back then)

It was also the year that both my grandparents came to Christmas lunch and it was truly a memorable moment, now that both have passed away, i just have to close my eyes and listen to this song and it takes me back to Christmas 1984... One that i will never forget.

Merry Christmas, see you next year.

WATERFRONT HOME - DANCING IN HEAVEN

Hello and welcome back... Love this

Produced by the great 'Bobby Orlando', Dancing in Heaven is a heartfelt song by the outfit 'Waterfront Home' and featured lyrics by 'Tony Caso'

Released in 1984 and was track #2 on the album 'New Breed of Mermaid' (Bobcat Records)

Makes you wonder what happened listening to the lyrics... A tragedy made into song?

Take a listen...

FOREIGNER - WAITING FOR A GIRL LIKE YOU (5.1 SACD Mix)

Hello and welcome back... This sounds magic

Found this while traveling Youtube.

Its a 5.1 SACD (Super Audio CD) surround mix of 'Foreigner - Waiting For A Girl Like You' by YouTube user MarioPindaBR

I wish all music sounded this good, instead of this so called 'Remastering' that pushes the sound so high, it distorts... horrid.

Take a listen, you will see what i mean, try to use a good set of headphones.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (Movie)

Hello and welcome back... Went and seen this movie today.

I seen this at my local cinema (Glenbrook) and must say, I was impressed.

The music, the acting and best of all "Live Aid'... Absolutely nailed it, to the point that i got chills several times throughout the film (We will Rock You) was one of those times.
I didn't even get chills when watching Star Wars back in 1982 (Empire strike back?) but i did with this movie.

Bohemian Rhapsody is the story of rock band Queen and Freddie Mercury...The loves, the band and of course the music, how songs came together and the personal life of Freddie.

If you get the chance to see this amazing movie, do so.

I'm not a big fan of Queen 70s music, mostly love the 80s stuff and of course 'Live Aid' but its given me a new look at the early Queen.

Seriously, if this movie doesn't win awards... There is something wrong.

For me, Its a 10/10

80s fans will remember Pete Shelley's work with two early 80s hits, 'Homosapien' (1981) and the wicked sounding 'Telephone Operator' (1983)

RIP Pete
