The middle aged thread

Man Machine LP is my fave

Listened to that first, onto the original German version of Computer World now... Bliss... :)

Ha, I knew I'd get called on paedo swim coach. He was a good guy though. Funny little japanese dude.

Anyway, I've been middle aged since my mid-20s as far as I can tell. My wife was away for three weeks recently and after the obligatory "drink yourself insensible just because you can" period which lasted only about three day before my youthful stamina completely desserted me and I found myself in bed at 9pm reading a book and drinking tea.

kraftwerk: ultimate rad-dad band.

second only to pretending to like miles davis.

Up to Radio-Aktivität now... Amaze...

Bitches Brew next... Good call, lol!

Long time, no see, brother;

that is precisely where I saw Joy Division,
a timid student wandering down from Stoke Bishop to a bit of real Bristol.

Trinity Hall staged a series of wonderful gigs;
Magazine supporting Bauhaus, (loudest concert I ever attended),
Teradrop Explodes
and others I couldn't get to & cannot remember.

Did you see Killing Joke, they played the (sprung-floored) dancehall
above the Carwardines teashop at the top of Park Row?

Scariest moment: during 'War Dance' every one of the audience seemed to be jumping in rhythm and the floor was (seemingly) deforming by about 8 inches.

I lol'd at EB's 'why did I come upstairs'... but don't know how to quote it cos I'm middleaged.

+1 for early Mode. I was rocking up to 88 actually. Before they went all LA, cowboy hats, smack n leather. Basically U2 with more knobs to twiddle.

My biggest fail was seeing Nirvana at a regular rock night in my home town and not really noticing. Then hating them when they were on The Word.

And then ten years later realising that In Utero is an afucking mazing album.

I'm going home to listen to Tackhead now.

I need varifocals...

I'm wearing them. Can everyone comment more slowly so I have time to tilt my head in order to frame the typing in the unblurry section, please?

@>>>>>> Aha I have the french one, Radioactivité. It's a stunning record.

I bought the people are people synthesizer.

i'm eagerly anticipating the latest charles tyrwhitt catalogue dropping through the letterbox; and got that draught excluded with brush strips from the telegraph home shop

highlight the text you want to quote then hit reply. I got someone to show me........

lakeland catalogue! so excite! much kitchenware! wow!

Levi Sta Prest trousers for school. Brutus Trimfit shirts and Brutus dungarees. Black and white basketball boots with the rubber circle stuck on the bit by your ankle bone. Doc Marten boots and shoes. Crombies, Harringtons and loons. I confess to wearing them all at one stage or other. Having a poo in dungarees is bloody awkward as I remember.

you sound like a you were a suede head / two tone cat , a good look
i had dm boots for school at one point,can't recall if was a sartorial choice or me ma's decision as they would last, got in agg when a bigger kid tried to duff me up and i gave him a shin kick though

i remember i had the clarks wanabee addias,my first real claire rayners after getting back from wilds of irelands west coast, a precursor to the margiela army trainers one likes to think, as soon as i put them on i shot off round the block whippet like, convinced they made me faster
never had them black elasticated stamfords plimsoles though
thankfully

Is it time for my 'passing out at a Blancmange gig at the Hammersmith Palais' story now?

Belated +1 to the OMD love - Architecture & Morality still sounds amazing.

Fashion-wise I unashamedly rocked a Dexy's vibe - dungarees, scarf and espadrilles. Happy days.
