This Band is Really Good

I cringe every time I see those commercials for CD's titled "Hit's of the 80's", and see A-Ha and their song Take on Me as one of the bands. I was introduced to A-HA's little know work (in the US) titled Minor Earth and Major Sky, my old college friend name Jimmy Kester introduced me to this album. It reaffirmed my love for the band. In all honesty, I define this album as an adult contemporary album; the same way one would look at James Brown, or as in my family's case, listening to Kenny G while they sit around the dinner table.

I Surrender!

Since being married and then having three kids, I just thought I would surrender to those things in life that I frowned upon during my youth. Since the onslaught of weight gain and the reality of a cubicle career I decided to just give in. I can't believe that I HAD to convince my wife to get the van! The realization that I have become out of touch with the world is shown in my music taste, for example, I still like Erasure when my friends have moved on to bands such as Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah (good band) and Death Cab for Cutie (great band). Still, I will always have a place in my bosom for the Smiths, New Order and OMD.

But change is part of life. My wife thinks its cute how I just love to romanticize my youth, which in reality is not that long ago since I'm on 32. I guess this onslaught of golden memories came to me due to my current visits to the doctor. After high cholesterol, ulcer and being allergic to everything under God's yellow sun I decided to give in and start blogging. Admittedly, I have always thought these kind of things are, well, lame. I understand that this makes me out to sound like some kind of a snob but I'm converted.
