…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).

#544 Lloyd Cole and the Commotions – Rattlesnakes

Rattlesnakes is the debut album from indie pop group Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. The band never really broke into the music scene of the the USA. They had a minor rock hit in the later 80s. As I listened to the album I thought of Ric Ocasek of The Cars. I was correct according to […]

#543 Minutemen – Double Nickels On The Dime

Double Nickels On The Dime was the third album from punk band Minutemen. They released another album in 1985 and singer and guitarist D. Boon died in an accident so it was the end of the band. The album is a double album containing 45 songs and the songs are divided into sides for each of […]

#542 Echo & The Bunnymen – Ocean Rain

Echo & The Bunnymen again? Kind of overrated at this point. Ocean Rain is their fourth studio album and their third one on this ridiculous list. I wish I could find a replacement list to going the journey. The album was released in 1984 so it had a lot of competition for attention. I might […]

#541 Tina Turner – Private Dancer

I knew there was a reason I started thinking of an old friend from my teen years. Tina Turner. In 1984 Turner released her greatest solo album Private Dancer. She became a superstar around the world. This was a success story for a woman over 40 years old in the music industry to make such […]

#540 The Style Council – Café Bleu

The Style Council is a band that I do know about, except in name. I have never heard of their album Café Bleu. I do know of vocalist Paul Weller from his band The Jam. I read this is classified as sophisti-pop and blue-eyed soul, which I think Daryl Hall & John Oates are considered too. I […]

#539 The Replacements – Let It Be

The Replacements‘ Let It Be is one of the bands and album I have never listened to at all. They broke up in 1991. If you like post-punk and alternative music, then you might like this band. I read in the book that they were known for having great shows and awful shows. I would not […]

The Loop of P.T.S.D.

I do not talk about the loop because it seems sort of personal and I hate being judged for something that I have to live with, but I will try to explain it since a friend asked me about it. The loop is a place I get stuck in from time to time. It takes […]

#538 Prince and The Revolution – Purple Rain

Prince and The Revolution‘s Purple Rain reigned down on the us in 1984. He ruled. I was a huge fan already, but this album sealed the deal for me. I had a friend named Roger who was an even bigger fan of Prince. I think he tried to emulate his style a bit. Roger was a […]

#537 Van Halen – 1984

Van Halen‘s 1984 was one of my favourite albums in 1984. The music was incredible. I think the lyrics were a bit misogynistic, but that is to be expected for a band on rock and roll guys. I have listened to this album so many times that I could almost skip it, but I will […]

#536 Minor Threat – Out of Step

Minor Threat, a hardcore punk band, released their debut album Out of Step in either 1983 or 1984. The book, 1001 Albums…, states 1984, but I read in other places that it was in 1983. I do not believe the book. I have never heard of this band, but they ended in 1983 and only released […]
