i didnt mean i was in the queue!!! i meant there was a queue probably.
Posted by Sul, 17:00, 30th May 2003:
 
In which case change "bring" to "take" and it would read like that. As it reads now its like you're in the middle of a long queue.
Posted by chandler, 17:01, 30th May 2003:
 
i'll shut up now

Vic's Legendary 80's CD Disclaimers.

As has been mockingly pointed out to me, The CD is not technically an 80's CD, being as it contains a song released in 1970 and another released in 1991. My response to anyone who has an issue with this is 'Bollocks to you'

Simlarly, the album is not truely 'Legendary' as it has some important works missing, For example:

The version of Nena's 99 Red Balloons is the english version rather than the far superior german version

The CD does not contain 'A land down under' no 80's album can be legendary without this on the playlist.

Unauthorised copying, hiring, lending, public performance and broadcasting are perfectly acceptable with this CD. I don't give a fuck what you do with it.

As of Sunday 01/6/03 1800 hrs i have only got five of the CD's burned, best guess at getting them posted will be tuesday.

Thank you for your time.
Posted by Redmaiden, 18:22, 1st June 2003:
 
aww no 'A land down under', that's ok I have that on about 5 best of the 80s cds :D

I can confirm that any CD which contains John Farnham, The Vapors, and Men Without Hats is truly legendary.

Posted by arsepuppy, 09:35, 4th June 2003:
 
Yup. I'm thinking of doing an 80's CD myself. Or some other themed comps. I have some ideas already.

"Wow, some of these songs you just have to stop, and listen, wow, all the memeories and emotions just overflow"

"genius"

(we built this city)

why, out of all those songs do you have a problem with starship foggy?
Posted by beargod, 16:46, 5th June 2003:
 
I love starship
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 16:47, 5th June 2003:
 
Im just not a big fan of that song..everything else is cool, just that one song.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 17:12, 5th June 2003:
 
Try getting really really drunk, going home with some mates for more drinking and putting it on and singing to it loud. its sure to change your mind.
Posted by Redmaiden, 18:20, 5th June 2003:
 
17: The Vapors, Turning Japanese - an absolute classic!!
Posted by Redmaiden, 18:21, 5th June 2003:
 
I think I'm gonna have to do a CD too :D
Posted by chandler, 19:44, 5th June 2003:
 
yay
Posted by arsepuppy, 09:12, 6th June 2003:
 
I'll say it again. That CD rocks. It's just "Echo Beach" short of a classic.

Anyway, I may have to eventually jump this bandwagon. I may do a "best of Seal CD". So... for your blank CD, give me your address ;)
Posted by Victor Menendez, 09:30, 6th June 2003:
 
Echo beach was in the running, but i dropped it from the final list.
Posted by arsepuppy, 09:31, 6th June 2003:
 
:(

Oh well. At least "Kids In America" made it in.
Posted by Rosie, 09:59, 6th June 2003:
 
I played my cd when I was clearing up the kitchen. I was dancing around when I was doing the washing up! It is definately a cool cd!!

Posted by cal, 11:50, 18th July 2003:
 
vic: a clarification on tracks. you said:

9: Black Box, Ride on time (1991, see above)
10: Matthew Wilder, Break my stride
11: Toto Coelo, I eat cannibals

on my cd there are 21 tracks. 9 is black box. 12 is toto coelo. can you tell me what tracks 10 and 11 are?
Posted by beargod, 11:53, 18th July 2003:
 
Vic, my g/f said she really really likes this album and has become super popular at her work, because of it and thank you
Posted by chandler, 11:54, 18th July 2003:
 
yeah good point cal, i named my tracks using the original list only to find that at 9 10 11 it goes wrong and so then each song is named after the next one.

one of 10 or 11 is break my stride
its the other one that was missed out whhich messed up my track listing
Posted by Victor Menendez, 12:01, 18th July 2003:
 
err, whoops.

not really, i have a slightly different version with added tracks. i don't suppose you could hum me a few bars?
Posted by chandler, 12:01, 18th July 2003:
 
"with added tracks"

why didnt we get the added tracks? are they too ebarrassing?
Posted by Victor Menendez, 12:04, 18th July 2003:
 
Is it possible that 10 is Imagination by Beloise Some and 11 is Break my stride by Matthew Wilder?
Posted by Victor Menendez, 12:07, 18th July 2003:
