Have I suggested that you keep a Music Journal? I’ve been tracing My Musical Evolution for 7 full months now. It has been more fun than it probably sounds. This isn’t the first time that I wished for documentation. I really wish that when I was just beginning to get into music that I would have kept some kind of diary.
In it I’d have written what my favorite songs were on that day. Maybe I’d explain why I liked it or some details about how I heard it. If I purchased music I’d have recorded where I bought it, how much it was, what format [Cassette, Record Compact Disc] anything that was attached to it. As you can see, I think I can remember a good deal of it but there is nothing like good documentation! How different would this posts be if I had the written record as a reference?
The Police – Synchronicity II
Duran Duran – Hungy Like The Wolf
Dexy’s Midnight Runners – Come On Eileen Do you think that it is possible that Paddy On The Railway might have been a forerunner here?
Air Supply –Making Love Out Of Nothing At All
Michael Jackson – Beat It I realize after watching this that I completely forgot about that red zipper overloaded jacket! How can something like that be forgotten. You may not believe this put people actually had those and wore them around back then. Another thought that crosses my mind here is that the amazing success of his Thriller album could have been the first step to his self destruction.
