Re: Pande-reviews: 2005.0 (FSOL - A MPB Mix Vol.5, XFM)
Remember that was going to be my very first tape purchase as a kid. Alas couldn't remember the name of it when I went to the music shop a few days later.

That makes me feel old. (In a deep southern drawl) I've got scars older than you boy!

From yer username I'm guessing you're about 10 years older than myself !

Yeah, relatively speaking I'm Old and In The Way. By the time Tears for Fears were attempting to rebrand themselves as hippies I was doing my A levels.

Well, then, Pete and I are born in 1982 (the year when the CD was invented!)
I'm actually really glad I didn't caught up much of the '80s music

I always find it odd that, born in 1984, I lived through more than half of the 1980s, yet I don't even remember it being the '80s.

lol what is really odd about that?
i have no idea what my earliest memory is but i'm pretty positive the first few years of my life is nothing but a "feeling" ha!

Sometimes I wish I couldn't remember it! Being at school for the whole of it, the general feeling was that if Dire Straits and The fucking Pet Shop Boys weren't your thing you were deemed to have a shit taste in music.Ross wrote:I always find it odd that, born in 1984, I lived through more than half of the 1980s, yet I don't even remember it being the '80s.
Admittedly much of what I listened to then was shit, but just not as shit as that. I seem to recall heavy metal figuring prominently in my record collection for much of it until my taste mellowed gradually into more rock/psychedelia/electronic territories.

Ah, I love the Pet Shop Boys. To be fair, I think whatever age you are, the school-demand for music taste is pretty awful. You didn't have to go through the Spice Girls, UK garage and Limp Bizkit...
seedy - I suppose I just remember it being, say, 1991. The 80s has always seemed like a pre-me era, even though I was present for most of it.

no doubt ross......it's "before our time" just because so much of that memory is lost in adulthood
my first 3 loves were bruce springsteen, madonna, and michael jackson
i am not ashamed of this =P

Yeah indeed, most childhood memories get lost. It just seems strange to think I lived through so much of the decade.

perhaps it's more accurate to say we "existed" through those years rather than "lived"

I don't know guys, I must say I remember quite a lot from my childhood...
Starting from my fourth year, a few, a dozen of memories maybe,
but year five onwards, I remember a lot, lots of things happening, what did I thought in those moments, plenty of detail.
School was OK for me, no bullies and stuff, just occasional fights and regular kid shenanigans
If I sit and think hard & long about some period, or talk with some friend from that period, I start to remember tons of stuff. I think this will work for most people.
I remember being creative, my mind wondering across the universe (I loved astronomy).
I remember drawing a lot. Some of it was quite good. I liked graffiti very much, also calligraphy...
I distinctly remember listening to my parents cassettes for the first time The Beatles, The Stones, awesome local bands like Leb i Sol.
I remember the excitement of music, not knowing a single English word and still rocking with The Beatles for hours, screaming the lyrics in the most broken English you've ever heard it was awesome!
I could go on for hours... or maybe write a memoirs

Re: Pande-reviews: 2005.0 (FSOL - A MPB Mix Vol.5, XFM)
interesting about the "not knowing english yet" part
it's likely a myopic view but I've always felt that english speaking music dominates the world in terms of regularly popular music
and with that it's just weird to know what that is like for countries that do not use english as first language
the only thing i remember as far back as age 4-5 is kind of hazy images of being in Kindergarten (first year of public school for us).
my parents music that i remember jamming to = beach boys, oak ridge boys, kenny rogers, bee gees, lots of doo wop
