ABOUT

And while my mind and heart lives in the spirit of the 80s, I have begun to archive the 90s and beyond, because memories are worth remembering, preserving and archiving.

Cheers
Andy.

POPULAR MEMORIES

Cassette Tape Collection: Strawberry Switchblade

This is not the first time I have mentioned " Strawberry Switchblade " on this blog , as well featuring their music videos. But they remain a huge part of my memory impressions of the 80s, with music genre veering towards synth-imaginary limbo-dreams of Scritti Politti, Dream Academy et al - and an opposition to the explosions of Depeche Mode et al. And who can't love the name " Strawberry Switchblade "? LOL WHO-IS: "Strawberry Switchblade was a female pop rock band formed in Scotland in 1981 by Jill Bryson and Rose McDowall, best known for their song "Since Yesterday" in 1985." [ Wiki ] And as well their choice of performance-wear and identity was the single most unique of that era, imbedded in my memory, which as well first introduced the concept of Lolita-wear over 2 decades ago - which now still remains as strong within the cosplay-culture, I reckon. Music wise, "Who Knows What Life Brings" stills brings goose-pimples and a...

CineFix Does “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” in 8 Bit Cinema

"If you were more the type to cut school to play classic video games than cruise around in a classic Ferrari, then we've got the video for you! CineFix presents Ferris Bueller’s Day Off retold via old-school 8-bit (and a little 16 bit ;) game tech. No quarters or controllers required! 8 Bit a.k.a. the third generation of gaming started in 1983 with the Japanese release of the Nintendo Family Computer and Sega. Can you guess what games inspired this 8-bit version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? "

The Sunday Flea Market @ Clarke Quay (circa early-2000s)

Snaps from the Sunday Flea Market, at Clarke Quay, around early-to-mid 2000, before it got turned into the (wannabe) posh nightlife and food venue it is now. Every application was held Tuesday evening, where you are either drawn to display your wares indoors (two stories, with air conditioning), or outdoors, facing the streets, lined thru to the Satay Club, to the back where nobody goes to except kidswho bug their parents to hahahaha I am sure I took plenty of photographs (all printed, none digital), but alas all I am left with now, are low-res scans of that one table that one time I got drawn for an indoor table (2nd floor, no less hahaha). Will update more pics if I can find them :p

The Summer Of Rave 1989 (Full Documentary)

"The Summer Of Rave 1989" is a documentary on BBC2 - First shown on-air June 2006 - charting the rise of the rave phenomenon which swept the country in the late 80's. Directed by Anna Davies, this nearly one-hour doc features archive news footage, interviews and also focusing on the 'Manchester' music scene which sprang up at the time. My personal music journey continues to be vividly in the early-to-mid 80s, of the synth generation and New Romantics, with smatterings of Ameri-rock and early J-Pop, but untilamtely more England-fueled audio trip for nearly a decade during my teenage years. I don’t know which might have THE particular song, or maybe it was more of a flood of tunes, but when “rave” and dance music returned like a vengeance, a mutated version of 70s’ disco, buffered no doubt by the “remix” dance versions of my fav 80s tracks, which lead to the new age of dance music. “Acid House” has always been associated with “drugs” in the UK, but in Singa...
