Fab! That's just made my day. I thought I was bad for having Music and
Lights by Imagination on my iPod. But seeing Bucks Fizz live! That's
so uncool it's cool.

Cheers,
Janean

>>LET THE SKELETONS OUT OF THOSE CLOSETS!!


This is probably a great opportunity to reveal

I love Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Waters.
Mamas and Papas
Early Duran Duran
Early James
Abba
and the U2 single Vertigo.

Do I get away with some of these?

God that feels better.

Oh and while we are at it I've seen Bucks Fizz, Altered Images and David
Essex live.

And why should that be? Worried about people judging you because
you happen to own -- let alone like -- an album or two by Sting or
Supertramp or something?


Look, EVERYone -- even the hippest of uber-hepcats -- owns a
guilty pleasure or two. Let's all stop being such ridiculous elitists,
for cryin' out loud.


LET THE SKELETONS OUT OF THOSE CLOSETS!!

Quite sure, thanks. As someone else said -- I
believe it was Javier -- what a boring life you must lead if you only
listen to one type of music.

Back in the days of vinyl, I used to
organize by genre or by what I'd perceive as a quasi-genre ("flavor of
the month brit hype bands" ala Jesus & Mary Chain, the Primitives, the
Sugarcubes, etc.) This just got too unwieldy after a while, and upon the
advent of discs, I just went with alphabetizing, which makes loads more
sense (although it means certain artists sit incongruously next to each
other on the shelves..... Paul Simon sits next to Siouxsie.... the
Plasmatics sit next to Robert Plant....Pussy Galore sit next to Queen,
etc.)

easier. It's more practical to me.
After all, labels and genres exist
weather you like it or not. You can use them or not.

But you want me to believe that you
never, ever use labels... yeah, right! I'm not a label/genre defender,
but they are not useless. That's my only point.

And so, after your complaint with that
store, under what label are KJ now? or they are re-organize all the
store and now they went all alphabetical?? So maybe you now can find
Killing Joke "easier": it's just next to Kenny G, Khawaja Zia ud din,
King Pinz, Kid Rock, Krystal Blue and Kajagoogoo?? HA! Now i call that
easy!!!

You could allways put your collection in
alphabetical order then it's dead

easy to find everything!

A HMV store near me put the Joke in
their "rawk" section so I sent a letter

of complaint and their back with all the
regular shit now.
