Re: CTC game which will fail miserably
I like this "live" vid of the Heaven 17 song better.
edit: Better than the last vid I posted, that is. I like Gerald's PTW more.

Man, that is not a song I would have listened to had it not had a shared title with a Cut the Crap deep cut.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: CTC game which will fail miserably
I just heard it for the first time yesterday when I went looking for songs called Play to Win. Hadn’t even heard of Heaven 17 before. I’ve played it several times since then and I like it, very catchy song.Low Down Low wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 3:06pmI think that's a pretty great pop song.

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

Yeah, it's bad, but entertainingly so. It's basically the Jim Breuer ACDC impersonation:Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Jun 2021, 8:21pmThey morphed into an ACDC parody band by the mid 80s.

Re: CTC game which will fail miserably
Yeah, fuck, i wouldn't have listened to them for 35 years or so but of the new wave/synth bands of that time, I thought they were far from the worst. Only had the first album Penthouse and Pavement but listened to it quite a bit. Visage were another decent band around that time.Kimmelweck wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 4:51pmI just heard it for the first time yesterday when I went looking for songs called Play to Win.
