80’s Bands

A few weeks ago I blogged about Tears for Fears releasing a new album. They were on the Today show this morning. Art was thoughtful enough to tape it for me since I had to work today. Well, Art also told me about an Article in Entertainment Weekly that listed new albums coming out this year. I found out that one of my favorite 80's band is releasing an album on Oct 12. Yes all five original members of Duran Duran are touring and are releasing a new album. Simon Lebon, John Taylor Andy Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor. I will have to check out the album sometime to see if they sound the way I remembered that they did. I was interested to find this out. I never liked Duran Duran much after John, Andy and Roger Taylor left the band, but I am glad to hear that it is the original members touring.



Speaking of 80's band as I was surfing the net I found this pretty neat link. You ought to check it out.

FilmForce: Revenge of the Nerds Redo

I just told Art that I probably was not going to post anything tonight and then I read this article. Well anyway needless to say I found blogging material when I was not even looking. I liked the original movie. It might be because one of my favorite actors was in the movie. Anyway, it might be interesting to see an updated version of the movie. It is hard to believe how technologically advanced the world has gotten since this movie was made.

Donnie Darko

When I came home from work today Art was watching Grosse Point Blank.

After it went off Donnie Darko came on so we watched it again. It is an interesting Movie. While watching the credits I heard a song that sounded familiar, but I couldn't figure out who did the song the first time. The Song is called Mad World. Well after some looking around Art figured out that the song was done by Tears for Fears in 1983. It was off this album. Well color me shocked when I had the information right in front of me. What are the odds that I would blog about Tear For Fears last night and then see a movie today that has a song from one of their early albums?

Tears For Fears

I used to listen to these guys in high school. It is hard to believe that their last album came out over 15 years ago. I sampled some of the songs off the new album. Not bad but not how I remember them 15 years ago. This album was one of my favorites. Sowing the seeds of Love was another good album from Tears For Fears. I think I just aged myself with this post but anyway, it is good to hear that Tears For Fears are back recording again. I wish some of my other favorite bands from the 80's were still together. Speaking of 80's bands Duran Duran was another band that I liked back then. I haven't kept up with them but I was a huge fan of Duran Duran in middle and high school. Anyway, I am just sitting here on amazon.com sampling some old school Duran Duran.


I made this tasty dish for dinner. Thanks to a post from webgrits for putting the recipe on her blog. I am going to cut this short since the Alabama game is about to come on TV. Roll Tide.
