The other day...
Miss M: "This is a voice recorder!"
Me [looks up]: "It's a walkman."
Impish Girl: "What's a walkman?"
Me: *feels about a million years old*
ETA: After I wrote this entry, I [randomly] went to look up Right Said Fred on youtube...
*cue waves of nostalgia*
Still remember sitting up late on a weekend, listening to the official countdown on Longwave Radio 252 (already indoctrinating myself with English culture - and was there ever anything gayer than that band?), to find out if Deeply Dippy was still Number 1. I think it held the spot for... 4 weeks? And oh, 'I'm Too Sexy' was EVERYWHERE, and one of my friends bought their album (it was called 'Up'), and I only much, much later discovered that 'Right Said Fred' was originally a song recorded by Bernard Cribbins. And thus my life is all beautifully circular.
ETA2: OH GOD. Now youtube is giving me links to Ace of Base: All That She Wants. *cries*

I listen to so much music from tomorrow right back to early mediaeval, but the 80s was when I stopped listening to the charts about then; they were so marvellously and defiantly Bi, right when 'ol Maggie and her pals were being extra nasty, and all our sorry so-called friends cared about was ripping each other to pieces for the scraps she left behind :-(
Which leads me to this http://kerkevik.livejournal.com/104481.html
Which had me shedding tears in the library this AM.
Still under Willow & Tara's spell,
Ray.

I (happily) escaped Thatcher, so I don't have those scars...
