Rediscovering music

[Fred Elliot]

A little sadly, and for obvious reasons, tonight I have been working through the CD and Vinyl collection we have here.

Fuck......................

dug out some old school tunes that have brought the memories flooding back.

Currently listening to some early Roxy


ahhhhhhhhhhh   classic pulling tunes


any favorites you have buried away that you have forgotten about ?

[Fred Elliot]

Fucking Hell

Roxy Music...............Avalon

Circa 1983 ?

Memory :

1st ever trip to Newquay with the lads from the Kinger.

1st experience with a northern bird (scared the shit out of me - could drink for England, swear more than I did and would give a blowjob on demand, anytime and anywhere)

Sex on the beach

Serious clubbing

Sailors arms  

Newquay Arms  

Berties   :shag:

Fucking happy days

I've got boxes and boxes of vinyl, and nothing to play then on.   I had a very nice amp, which blew up some years back.....I tried to get it fixed, but the parts were redundant.   Then along came CD.....somehow couldn't be arsed to get much of a CD collection going.

   I know you can get a device to turn vinyl into mp 3.....inot sure its worth the money though.

I've never been much of a collector and without anything to jog my memory, things I've forgotten about have a bad habit of staying forgotten. Which is a shame.

[Reg Smeeton]

My problem is that a lot of my vinyl is in bad condition......somhow leading a reprobate lifestyle and keeping records in good condition was not compatible, also despite what may seem to be the case on here,  I try to live in the present.

Thats just criminal Benji

All of my best, and unfortunately worst, memories have some form of musical trigger

strange I know

Ive just been sat here on my own pissing myself laughing, bizarre

Thats my point

Just looked at a Bowie 33 and the cover still smells of Pernod and black.

Chalikes party, Ferndale Rd circa 1987

Hid in a wardrobe to avoid the OB

I know what you're saying Fred.....my life has a kind of personal musical soundtrack.

  Thing is though there's a lot of it  :old:   I prefer to concentrate on the most recent stuff.

[flammableBen]

I don't think my brains really wired up that way. I don't tend associate music with much else than the music. Various stages in my life over the last 6-7 years are more likely to be associated with what I was drinking and which pubs I was in at the time.

Weirdly, the years I don't remember much seem to be the ones I can't associate with a local or two. There's something grounding about having a regular drinking haunt, the NHS should put it on one of their mental health treatment programs.

There is the occasional exception, for some reason that Queens of The Stone Age song, No One Knows or whatever it's called, reminds me of Pokemon. Which is a bit bizarre and I'm not really sure why.

Exactly

New Order - World in motion

Obscurely does not remind me of Italia '90 but of a blonde hairdresser I was seeing at the time

Thats why I love music mate, produces all sorts of emotions / memories

They are still trying to find out how mine is wired mate

I'll put on my Joy Division badge...stick on a bit I've got on the computer and join you  in listening to perhaps the greatest ever song......you know the one.

[Fred Elliot]
