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

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

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...

The Substation Flea Market (circa early-90s)

Snaps from the Sunday Flea Market, at The Substation in Armenia Street, circa early to mid-90s, mostly of my own table, and some others (all posted below ;p). I progressed from a single table selling trading cards, to renting two tables whenever I held a comicbook sale (for which I advertised in the classifieds section of the weekend newspaper! Rental per Sunday included a foldable (formica top) table - with a hole drilled in the middle, a large umbrella to fit thru the hole - anchored to a cement-base, and two stools. All for SGD$5. THAT's how long ago it was hahahahaha At one period, even my younger sister was working for The Substation, taking care of the flea market. I would remember coming in earlier and helping her sweep the grounds off the fallen leaves, before folks come in to set up their tables. A sense of indie-DIY was strong then, unlike the commercial appeal these days. But then again, sales were not great decades back, as folks perhaps struggled with the noti...

DC's Legends of Tomorrow Goes the 80s in Season 2 Episode 5 on The CW

DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Episode 5 is titled "Compromised”, features the team in the 1980s! Which of course is PERFECT for this flashback-blog, and as well I adore the show myself haha Here’s the write-up for the episode, and while the above is a featuerette, you can scroll down for the promo for this ep :) PLOT: "When the Legends trace a timequake to President Reagan’s White House, they are shocked to discover their old enemy Damien Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) is now a Senior Adviser to Reagan. As the team works to uncover what Darhk has up his devious sleeve, Sara (Caity Lotz) struggles with the choice of getting revenge or helping with the team’s larger mission. Thinking that the JSA members could be of help, Amaya (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) and Nate (Nick Zano) break into the JSA and are surprised at what they find. Meanwhile, Stein (Victor Garber) tries to prevent his younger self from creating an even bigger time Abberation. Franz Drameh, ...
