Behave?!
How can I? You are FAAAR too tempting, Sir! (I adore you) “To see *it*”! Lol. I was referring to the Rewind festival he mentioned in his post about Trevor Horn. Of course, before that I left a comment about the line in Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s Welcome To The Pleasuredome (which he had shared…
Minds Music Monday – 20th Century Promised Land
I’ve let slip the thing I used to do on the blog on Mondays…so I am bringing it back, as I don’t really share much actual music on here these days. This is this week’s choice…
