Funnily enough, the only one I sort of really liked of theirs was Enola Gay. Or maybe I hadn't heard enough of them  

I was just looking at City Hall to see who was coming up.  Nothing that I noticed. 

Did you ever go to any of the Here & Now concerts?

Here's a link to the webpage.  We went to one years ago (before we were married) and it was really good.

Off to look for tickets.

Just checked, unless you go to Bognor or Falkirk you're out of look.

If you liked Enola Gay, you should have a listen to the album it came from (just happens to be one of my favourites).

The album is called Organisation.

Enola Gey was a great track, even Master Cinds loves it.  I bought an album a few years ago called Electric 80's and he loved it when that one came on.

Yes, I caught a couple of those Here and Now events. I remember one where the headline was Paul Young. Unfortunately he had spent too much time in the green room. Staggered on stage and struggled to deliver and kind of performance!

Nothing near you? I'm not sure where you are in the UK.

I'll see if I can get hold of it  

Newcastle.

I've just googled the album that I'd bought and chuckled at the coincidence.

The one we went to, was when Adam Ant cancelled at the last minute after having a breakdown.

Bloody hell, I've just googled it and that was 12 years ago in January   12 years.

You can listen to the album on YouTube. If you want I will get some links to the individual album tracks for you to listen to.

I think I have that album too.

Newcastle. I think OMD are playing Gateshead in May.

I recall him having a breakdown. I hope Kim Wilde filled in. I love her music.

  Time flies when your having fun.

I have tickets for Girls Too LoudAloud in Feb

Ah right, ta. I'll catch up in the next two weeks when I'm off work 

Unless there are some dud tracks on there and mostly there are only some worth listening to 

I've got tickets for Bon Jovi in June  

Never mind, you'll get to see someone decent one day.

I will get to see Chezza wiggle her cheeky parts area and that'll do me hunny

Focus on above that area will ya  

Are you calling Chezza jowly? !  

A lot of eighties music passed me by ............ I was busy with babies - did love Kim Wilde though and just love this  What a star 

OOOOO I was a big OMD fan back in the day - I loved Electricity it's probably my favourite song of theirs but I also loved their Joan Of Arc stuff as well 

Organisation is a great album.  It all went a bit iffy after Architecture and Morality, IMO.

I'm off work too from Friday, so will do the links then.

I love the album Sprout, so for me there are no dud tracks, but only you can make that decision. I have lived with this album since it's release in 1980. It's like an old friend now.

I will only include the original 9 tracks from the album, not the re-released extended album of 15 tracks.

Saw that in a newspaper at the weekend!

I had a bit of a crush on Kim Wilde back in the day.

I would tend to agree Carnelian. I liked less and less as each album went by, especially when there was just Andy M left. I did like a few tunes from Junk Culture and Crush, but you could have made one album out of what I liked.

Certainly the first three albums were their best.

When I was younger I used to get told I looked like Kim Wilde.  Honestly could never see the resemblance.  Now I could, blonde, middle aged and a tad bloated 

That's really cool .......I was always told I looked like Sue Barker (not so cool) 

I've seen him a few times over the last few years and as someone who strongly favours the pre-fame material, wasn't disappointed!

I still find Kim attractive, not as much as I used to, but I still do. and she is a gardener, not sure why that is important, but I thought I would throw it in anyway!

My Kim Wilde years were when I was 16/17.  Once I moved in to my early 20's I got told I looked like Annie Lennox (I think that was more because I had very short cropped hair), now I get Zoe Ball.  

EC, didn't Kim Wilde do gardening on a TV show.  I seem to have a mental image of her in dungarees gardening on TV.

Yes, I think I may have seen Kim on the Chelsea Flower show programme and possibly on Gardeners World or some similar programme.

Oh, I was never a fan of Annie Lennox's look, liked her music though esp with Eurythmics.

It was Better Gardens I remember seeing her on.  (Have just googled)

Re Annie Lennox, my hair was short but never as short as hers was.

The power of Google (I'm at work so thinking better of doing too much Googling!). But that programme does ring a bell or two. Was it Channel 4?

AL's hair was pretty short as I recall. I don't think she has changed it much over the years has she.

EC I'm sat here enjoying the 12" version of Electric Dreams.

I didn't think Electric Dreams could get any better until I found the 12" version.

I'm now on a search for a 12" version of my husband .  No I didn't!
