The year was 1982 and my nineteen year old self was still a couple years away from getting into the European tinged pop that would start expanding my musical palate. Hair Cut One Hundred is a band I appreciate a lot more than my younger self would have. The catchy "Love Plus One" appears on a lot of 80s compilations for good reason, it's a great song. I'm saying this now, but if you asked me other day I'd have drawn a blank. I'd gone in to the record store looking for a specific album (still can't find it) and got to chatting with the staff and we got on the subject of British new wave. He asks me if I had any Haircut One Hundred. I say I know the name but can't recall any of their stuff. "What about Nick Heyward?" he asks. Again I knew the name, but was drawing a blank on anything specific. I know he's on a compilation somewhere in the library in the studio but knowing and knowing aren't the same. So he pops out from behind the count...
A place where I just blather on about shit that I either miss, or am excited about. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally really don't know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I do. Sometimes this is like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the video ... mostly though it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
