Happy Face

Here's me thinking it's more than 3 times what he paid. I'm no professional journalist though.

By the way we were all kids in the 80s, except rob and leaze, but still your point is moot, kid or not it was out there to find. I've never said it wasn't. The fact that there was some good stuff, doesn't stop it being generally shit. "Were the 1980s the worst years for music? NPR listeners seem to think so, according the results of our poll. When asked to pick the best year for music, nearly everyone skipped the '80s entirely. " http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...ft=1&f=1039 Arguing that the 80's was great because there was still a spirit of independence in the same breath as denouncing the way things are now because ANYBODY can get their stuff out is a remarkable contradiction to have made with a straight face.

With every breath you mutter, my opinion of your tastes in music and film turns for the worse. Looking at your list of quality films of the eighties, I'll take that as a compliment. As opposed to: But then again you rate Tarantino don't you? See more 80's quality, the Hong Kong action and horror films of the 80s that Tarantino constantly cites as influences to his film making! You know nothing HF and you know it I love the HK stuff from the 80s. Eight Diagram Pole Fighter, Encounter of the Spooky Kind, Eastern Condors, Project A, A Better Tomorrow, The Killer etc. But they're none of them mainstream over here are they?

You want to get the last album too then. Last Night is a brilliant track. Will do, what's it called. I'm up for any more similar rap to Atmosphere if you have any recomendations. Sorry, I meant "That Night" Similar stuff? Try Vast Aire, El-P, Aesop Rock and Cannibal Ox.

Actually, I'm thinking of Indian chips. They're always disgusting. Chinese aren't great either like. I'm not that partial to chip shop chips to tell the truth though. I'm not really in a position to comment.

Was it always just Fluff then? Christ, I'm senile. I'll go and stand with Rob W.

I used to love Stuff, the marshmallow in a tub. Tried to find a picture, but I could only find Fluff, which looks like another brand of the same thing...

Happy birthday you drongo

Love the Fraggle Rock bass on You.

They never represent the 80's. Both at their peak in the 90's. You could include the Simpsons and Seinfeld if you just look at when they were conceived. Both were started and going well in the mid/late-80's. Just because they weren't as fashionable as they were later doesn't matter. You might as well say that combats weren't invented until after 2000. Nirvana epitomise the 90s lashback against the 80's Fuck see this whole argument shits me because most people who claim to remember the eighties have only experienced the major commercialised shite or think they know. Yes you listed the shite in your first post but lets help you with some facts. music. From 1980 & if your argument that Nirvana were a 90s band then you have no ground to argue the following. The Clash - post their punk releases, this includes London calling as it was released Dec 14 1979. the jesus and mary chain The Smiths the cure talking heads the triffids the go-betweens echo and the bunnymen the furs nick cave/birthday party/the melbourne grunge movement (wreckery/blue ruin/hollowmen, etc) the mid eighties sydney grunge movement (lubricated goat/box the jesuit/beasts of bourbon/the scientists although originally from WA) http://antipodeanunderground.com/blog/ & http://blackeyerecords.blogspot.com/ all quoted as being influences on ... sub pop record bands - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub_Pop killdozer tad dinosaur jr ministry caberet voltare bailter space 4AD including the pixies shoegazer as a music genre especially my bloody valentine, swervedriver, etc - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoegazing etc etc See people like yourself argue grunge was a 90s thing, bollocks. Major labels picked it up in the 90s but it was born and is a product of the 80s. As for film: blade runner dogs in space highlander luc besson's early work betty blue mad max 2 starstruck die hard troma films etc etc See HF your original post about 80's culture is just like the media's reportage of Newcastle, lazy, clichéd and inaccurate. I was immitating a channel 5 talking head, why would I be anything but? I'm fully aware there was a good deal of interesting stuff being done in the 80's, the point is that almost none of it permeated into the wider public conscious at the time. As a kid sat in the house with a radio and 4 tv channels there wasn't much airtime given over to bailter space. EDIT: Oh, and Bladerunner is cack.
