Wow, have managed to not study for over 6 hours now... A bit of tv, some chatting, way too much coffee... Found the laptop I'm going to buy. Just need to get some money in my account before I can buy it..
Learned that on the day I was born, Escape (the Pina Colada song) by Rupert Holmes was number one on the US charts.. And Another brick in the wall by Pink Floyd was number one in the UK.

Ah. the wonderful 70's.. Not that those songs are a good representative for all the wonderful stuff that came from that decade.. Well, except Pink Floyd maybe. But it was only 11 days until the 80's.. So I guess the list mirrors the horrible direction music is heading... So pleased that my earliest memory of music is from the 80's. The golden age of music.. Wham, New Kids on the Block, A Flock of Seagulls, Bryan Adams, Billy Idol.. All of those hair metal bands... Ahh.. Ok, so in recent years I've discovered that there actually were a lot of great bands in the 80's. I just didn't listen to any of them.. Actually I didn't really listen much to any music in the 80's..
But alot of the 80's bands kept it going long enough into the 90's - just in time for me to buy their dreadful music.. I've saved most of the cd's/vinly/cassettes that I've bought. It's quite amusing, and very embarassing to look through them...I have to admit that in my collection you will find albums by Celine Dion, NKotB, Take That, Bryan Adams, Def Lepard, alot of that horrible techno-dance-house crap thing.. There's also alot of the bad stuff from the 50s and 60s..I mean No milk to today.. If I had a hammer.. what the hell kind of lyrics are that..
Fuck - need to study!
