Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I feel like they were both having their single US hits at almost the exact same time and if I remember correctly both had videos where a keyboard player just sort of picked up the keyboard and danced around instead of playing it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 8:09pmNo, let us all forget EMF and hope the amnesia is contagious.Wolter wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 8:08pmLet’s not forget EMF.
The other two had far more cred but less airplay in the US.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
That's my recollection as well. Gun to my head, I'd rather hear "Right Here Right Now" over "Unbelievable." But both would be worse than Heston hoarking out the morning phlegm after a drunken night of KISS posting.Wolter wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 8:11pmI feel like they were both having their single US hits at almost the exact same time and if I remember correctly both had videos where a keyboard player just sort of picked up the keyboard and danced around instead of playing it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 8:09pmNo, let us all forget EMF and hope the amnesia is contagious.Wolter wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 8:08pmLet’s not forget EMF.

Charts aren't always my judge. Only when it suits me

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I truly like and respect you Heston but if we ever went out drinking its a toss up as to whether or not blood would be spilled. And to clarify, I say this as a person who is currently drunk.
