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...

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

"It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)" by Eurythmics

WHAT-IS: " "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)" is a song written and recorded by the British pop music duo Eurythmics. It was released as the fourth and final single from their 1985 album Be Yourself Tonight. The song was produced by Dave Stewart, and the song's distinctive brass arrangement was devised by Michael Kamen. The single became Eurythmics' tenth Top 20 hit in the UK where it peaked at number 12, but was less successful in the United States, stalling at number 78 on the Billboard Hot 100. As songwriters, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart received the 1986 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically." ( Wiki ) Besides their more "recognized" hits such as "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)", "Who's That Girl?" etc, "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)" by Eurythmics is undoubtably one of my fav tracks from them - sometimes lost between the retro-hype, no doubt - as evident as whe...

My Top Ten 90s Songs (Vol.1) To The #SoundtrackofMyLife

Aaaahhhh "The 90s" ... a truly turbulent decade of music devourment of multiple genres and languages! And while the 80s had been an awakening to the synth and pop life, the 90s saw a mixture of sounds and influences, brought primarily of the ability to spend $$$ on albums and visiting clubs! I had started working after my National Service, and physical venues like HMV and Tower Records were our weekly haunts! Admittedly, it took me some time to embrace while other aspect of 80s music as I transitioned from schoolboy to army boy to working adult, so quite a few songs featured here ere indeed from the (late) 80s, but I'd only discovered & devoured them in the 90s :) Amy Grant 's "Baby, Baby" (1991) was pop-fun and embodied the cheerful spirit of the 90s (in my book). The sound quality would echo for quite a long time, actually, thru folks like Climie Fisher , Boy Meets Girl and Danny Wilson etc, from the late-80s forward. I realised there is a l...

within you'll remain: an iconic pop song of the 80's

ADDED 12.10.08: Due to overwhelming request (more than 1 request is overwhelming for this particular blog L:OL) - I have actually found Tokyo Square's "Within You'll Remain"! remember this? (not actual video) i can imagine the grimace on some folks faces, as they recognize the opening melody, especially us "slightly mature adults" (*cough*) ... the young'uns would probably go: *huh? WTF?* local-Singaporean band Tokyo Square 's Within You'll Remain has to be one of the most enduring (if not endearing) local songs of the 80's - and as prolific as a local pop-song, and i would dare say even "iconic", IMHO. admittedly, we never really gave it it's due and respect back then, most times belittling it because it had used oriental/chinese songs/tunes as influences. we labeled it "obiang" or "or-bit" (ie: backward and tasteless) because of that musical-mashup. and as the butt of jokes it's popularity m...
