Small world.<BR/><BR/>AOF, I remember that night as well. I heard wailing sirens and choppers from Glenlyon Road where I lived at the time.<BR/><BR/>Marie, I think we're all just angry that people bought Rick Astley records in the millions and ignored scores of excellent artists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058446.post-32263580732169034742008-05-05T17:32:00.000+10:002008-05-05T17:32:00.000+10:00Funny we think the music of the 80's was forgettab...Funny we think the music of the 80's was forgettable and then we hear Boy George singing Chameleon or some such and it all comes back and we realize it was not so forgettable after all! Mind you, mine was a North American experience and not at all entirely like yours. I shall hav eto go look up those songs you mentioned now as I don't know them at all, or perhaps I've just forgotten!Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058446.post-50490577362419420362008-05-05T11:31:00.000+10:002008-05-05T11:31:00.000+10:00Seeing the Go Betweens for the first time was a me...Seeing the Go Betweens for the first time was a memorable gig. I'd not been living in Melbourne long and I saw them play, with a group of friends, at Melbourne Uni. It was a pleasant night and as I peeled off from the throng, to walk past the housing commission in Lygon Street to head home someone asked if I felt ok to do so on my own. "I love Melbourne, it feels so safe here" I said, full of GShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963643826578219126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058446.post-52163966483996156972008-05-05T04:32:00.000+10:002008-05-05T04:32:00.000+10:00In 1988 I was a first year undergrad at Melbourne ...In 1988 I was a first year undergrad at Melbourne Uni ... it seems a lifetime ago now!<BR/><BR/>Under the Milky Way is one of my favourite songs. I heard it played live this time last year -- whenever the Church tour the UK I always make sure I go see them.

My experience of mainstream '80s music was scarred by having to write publicity material for Bros, Mel & Kim, Rick Astley and the Chantoozies.<BR/><BR/>Lucy, Streets of Your Town was truly great. I even liked the sampling of it in Italian dance band Milky's Just the Way You Are.<BR/><BR/>And yes, the rain was wonderful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058446.post-83255958921100800062008-05-04T17:07:00.000+10:002008-05-04T17:07:00.000+10:00Under the Milky Way...so beautiful.

I almost tear up every time I hear it...I certainly cried when they played it live at the Commonwealth Games...<BR/>The 80's bring back some great memories... some cheesy ones too, but mostly great...especially when I hear The Church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
