Time (Clock of the Heart)

I had a profound crush on Mikey Craig, bassist for Culture Club, back in the day. I heard this on one of the easy listening stations yesterday. Said to myself what perfect song for Flashback Friday.

I wonder whatever happened to other members of CC? Boy George was in and out of rehab for the longest time, but after the band broke up, you never heard anything else about Roy, Mikey, or Jon.

Hmm. Was that the thing in the 80s? Like Wham's Andrew Ridgeley or Curt Smith from Tears for Fears, they just dropped off the face of the Earth. Perhaps life just returned to normalcy. One can only hope....

Shakespeare's Sister - Stay with me

Sybil Don't Make Me Over

M.A.R.S. - Pump Up The Volume

Art Of Noise: Beat Box

Wow. I'd completely forgotten about Art of Noise. Found this while surfing across the Blogosphere.

OK, so I probably say this with every Friday Flashback tune I post, but this song really does take me back! I was in Junior High School in '83 when this came out. So young, so naive. LOL. Well I'm not so young anymore, but still a tad naive.

The riff in this is catching and I like the vibe. I might just need to add this to my iPod.

Melanie Fiona - Gone And Never Coming Back

I love the artistry in this video. Reminds me of the classic vids from the 80s and 90s. I also love this song. Melanie happens be on my top 10 favorite female musicians list.

Grace Jones - Slave to the Rhythm 1985

Another tribute to 80s, I present Lady Grace Jones. I haven't kept track on her, but I wonder what happened to Grace

Miss Me Blind

*deep indulgent laugh*

Holy Genderbender, Batman! LOL.

Culture Club always a bit different, even for the 80s, but I remember this song all too well. There's a personal story connected with this song that unfortunately I'm not going to share, but it does goes back to Junior High School angst. Lord.

Thank the Deity those days are gone. I don't think I'd survive an 80s resurgence if I tried.

Boy Is A Bottom

Lawd. This was too funny.

By the way, can I go on record stating I think Detox is on the path to being America's next Drag Superstar? So far this season, with the exception of the double elimination (and I still wisely chose the bottom two), I've been dead-on with who sashayed away...

Perhaps the show has gotten too predictable or maybe I'm just over reality TV. In any case, I like Detox. I hope she wins this season of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Lisa Fischer - How Can I Ease The Pain - Music Video (1991)

This song was the shit.

Shake It Jensen

Good for a chuckle. Don't hate....

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence (Remastered Video)

Depeche Mode and I have been on a long and faithful journey. I've been a fan since high school. I'll admit that I don't listen to their music now as much as I did, but when I do, well I feel like a teen all over again.

Tonight's installment of the Friday Flashback I present Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence. Kick ass song with a rather eclectic video to accompany. Violator was probably my favorite album (did I REALLY just say album????) by DM. I can sing the lyrics just like yesterday without pause. Yeah.

Enjoy.

The Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up

Watching RuPaul's Drag Race the other day, reminded me I like this song. If I can find the clip for that week, I'll post Coco tearin' it up. I haven't been doing the Rucaps like I should. Then again, neither has Marionetta Fuego.... Jonny Jouet! Where are you guys????

I KNEW I was gay when...

I first heard this song and had the urge to strut, parade, and dance my ass off! Oh baby girl! I still have this CD and I'm sure if I played it, I'd be transported instantly back to 1990.

Anyone know whatever became of Blackbox?

Erasure A Little Respect (Official Video)

 A Little Respect. Isn't that what any of us ever want? A Friday Night Flashback to one my favorite songs from the 80s/90s! Erasure's  Just A Little Respect.

Man this song takes me back to some good college memories. This is at the top of my list of songs to jam out to while driving long distance, speakers cranked, car dancing included. I'm sure I look a hot mess, but I just don't give a fcuk! LOL

Blessid Union O' Souls

I Believe.

This song takes me back. I might it might be kinda cheesy but today's Millennial standards, but as I've often said I really have no use for the 21st century. We've become too depersonalized. No. This song evokes something to the core of humanity. Yes, it's a simple. "Love is the answer. Love will find a way." Don't they say love conquers all? Love is difficult to find, hard to often to keep, but so worth the venture.

Yes. Love is the answer. Just keep trying....

MFD - "Fantasia 2000" - "Firebird Suite"

No, not that Fantasia. We don't speak about her anymore. LOL. This piece from Stravinsky has always been one of my favorites. Put to animation with Disney, well, it's even more enjoyable. Too bad not many folk enjoy classical music in our modern age....

The Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm

Men Underwear Commercial - aussieBum - Jackpot

Get Outta My Way (Boys) Tribute (ORIGINAL)
