One of them married 'Ken' from Bros and died of cancer. Was she a porn star too? That was some CV

 

[rettucs]

poor Mel (or Kim)

she was never gonna be respectable

She was in top shelf magazines as opposed to porno.

A mate's big brother had a copy of one. It was mind-blowing at the time.

The other one married Ken.



And I feel bad about dirtying up nlgbbbblth's nice thread.

WELL IT IS THE WEEKEND.

I'm sure someone must have posted this for Those Nervous Animals, (possibly me)....it's amazing....could easily have ended up on the soundtrack to Donnie Darko...(as a measure of how great an 80s tune it is).....anyway:

Bit later than 87. Some nice twee guitar pop

I prefer five o'clock train, but can't find it.

I remember the Forget Me Nots LP had loads of flowers on the front. I'd say the vinyl version sold poorly.

CANVAS OF LIFE by Minor Detail is a truly horrible song... got heavy rotation on Radio Nova at the time... and one of those bastards discovered the Corrs...

Some minor details:

Ray Shulman from Gentle Giant played (and produced?) on that Minor Detail album. PLUS I know the guy that drummed on it. Don't think Ralf Hutter is doing the vocoder vocals though

 

[CinnamonBoy]

I love that Canvas of Life track

 

[nlgbbbblth]

me too - plus the video shot around the Green is cool.

I remember seeing these girls about town in ridiculous furry hats

but the song is what they call 'perfect pop' , should have been a bigger hit

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Alright Johnny

That's just completely brilliant.

I found the forget me nots five o'clock train. Tis a minor masterpiece of cuddy guitar pop. Compliments to the guitarist. There's some really nice subtle guitar parts that really work and enhance the song.

I saw them in the rock garden, must have been 1993 or 94.

Niggledy bits, would you have Slum by The Subterraneans?

I taped it off Dave Fanning at the time. Never bought the record. I might have the tape in my parents gaff - can check when I'm next home. Chance would be slim enough though.

My mate had this record. He was playing it at the wrong speed for ages before he copped...and didn't likethe proper version half as much as the slow version

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Ah Johnny, you're a legend, thanks.

 

[therealjohnny]

I haven't heard this in over 20 years...hooray for the internet

 

[EGE YURTUM]

This would have made a great single... it was on the Weird Weird World Of Guru Weirdbrain LP on Hotwire records... with the Golden Horde, Real Wild West etc...
