Friday night up the hill

Am currently listening to Dead Kennedys, drinking red wine and embroidering felt baby booties - let it not be said that I don't have a rich and exciting social life! aaaah pre 30 jitters making me reflect on life stages and listen to lots of 90's music in some kind of strange High Fidelity-esque life recap.

Still the booties are looking ace.

And I still love the DK's even if they are old and skanky.

Others 90's bands (and yes I know that the Dead Kennedys strictly speaking are a 70s/80s band but whatever this is my story) that I am enjoying this week:
PWEI - Pop will eat itself - lovely lovely, how could I have neglected this loosely industrial electro pop for so long?
Stereo MC's - man were these guys having a moment back there. The light must have been so bright it was blinding. Very upbeat spiraling electronic emceed fabulosity with references to forests and oceans. Think Jamiroqui without the hats and with more freestylin'. This also has strange flash back pertinence as I seem to remember being very into 'Elevate your mind' in yr11 and it being played at one of my school formals. Daggy? Yes I realise that.
The Beasties - when I was in early HS I had a much cooler girlfriend who I'd known since PS who was into Kylie and the Beastie Boys. I just couldn't quite figure that out as I was firnly into the Motleys and Bon Jovie (yes I know - who would you be taking investment advice from now??...not me). Anyway, after a while I did come to appreciate the joys of the BB and have several CD's, even if Kylie is sadly missing. The In Sounds from Way Out is one of my faves, speshly coz you wouldn't guess it was them, and because it reminds me of a particular night in the Grand Pacific Blue Room with Mango Mitzu where a wanky investment banker was waxing lyrical about said CD. Whilst we did not stick around to indulge in lines on small tables for long, I did go out and buy the CD on his recommendationand have never looked back. Of course also like the lovely old stuff like Licensed to Ill and Check your Head. Check it.
