I am a local through and through... but man... oh boy... 👎 🙂
In the four-plus years I've lived here, I've only met two decent people from Cleveland. One is 33 and a total music geek just like me, and the other is a bit of a misfit, similar to my own vibe 😉
Everyone else seems incredibly stuck-up, and honestly, I'm not exactly at the age where I'm looking to go out and make a bunch of new friends anyway... 😉
blueranger13 said:Linda Rodriguez6... Do you live in Cleveland? Let me know if you ever find yourself down in Miami... I'll have a beer waiting for you.
I didn't quite catch that part...
I've actually been living in Phoenix for the last few years, but yeah, I'm originally from Cleveland. No worries at all, I'll give you a shout whenever I head down to Miami 😉
Yeah, they were actually good back then. By the mid-90s, though, they had totally lost their edge. By the way, my absolute favorite record store in Trieste was Sgt. Pepper, but unfortunately, they closed up shop just a few months ago...😢
Rachel Jones11 said:Back in the eighties, you basically had a handful of people—maybe four at most—who actually owned great records and spent their time taping them onto cassettes... And the second one package arrived in the mail, you were already ordering the next one... just try to imagine how hard it was to track down any kind of information back then... seriously, you can't even wrap your head around it...
That’s exactly why we used to rely on places like Trieste😉 You could find some truly incredible albums there, and honestly, the people were way more plugged into the music than anyone here at home...
Honestly, this is just beating a dead horse. If you could track down some decent albums back in the late eighties, you can definitely find them now in 2003...
"Take On Me" is the absolute winner for me! But honestly, a-ha had a few other bangers in that same vein, like "Hunting High and Low" and "The Sun Always Shines on TV." They’re just such easy, feel-good tracks... 😁
By the way, I was listening to a lot more of 5. back then—plenty of Smiths, Lloyd Cole & the Commotions, The Cure, Front 242, Paraf, and just a ton of electronic music I was starting to dive into. Future Sound of London's "Papua New Guinea" was such a huge hit for us at the time!

Well, obviously it doesn't sound cheesy to people who actually like that kind of stuff.
p.s. maybe take a look in the mirror instead of coming at me.
p.p.s. honestly, you really should stop spamming this board. I mean, does anyone else here have a higher post count than yours? [27 posts a day! Jesus! Get a life!]
It’s honestly frustrating when you see everyone around here so preoccupied with pushing some new wannabe rockstar or a cheap imitation of a legend. Of course, I’d much rather see someone local step up and make it happen, but it seems like nobody is actually interested in taking the lead. What if I just started my own company and bought out the rights myself? But where on earth am I supposed to get that kind of cash?! I don't even have a clue how much money we're talking about...

Actually, if you want to talk about risks, releasing The Termites was an even bigger leap, and they ended up betraying mud. Personally, I think a smaller limited run of the record could actually sell pretty well.
I just found out via email that he's planning to release the first single, the debut album, and some extra bonus tracks that FOX has in the works.
