Blast from the past
November 9th, 2009
When I was a kid, I couldn’t understand why my parents liked to listen to the music of the mid to late ’50s, the music they grew up with. But tonight, I’m sitting around listening to Radio Nigel, which plays the stuff I listened to in college in the mid to late ’80s, and I get it. I really get it. Nonetheless, I think my nostalgia is better than my parents’. The Cult, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, and Depeche Mode are not Johnny Mathis, Brenda Lee, or Paul Anka. And thank goodness for that.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, they just queued up General Public’s “Faults And All” and I need to dance around the living room for a while. While I do that, won’t you tell me what music evokes your nostalgia response?
