I hope it's better than that "Sowing the seeds of crap" crap they came up with in the early 90's.

Now if A-HA were to get back together... if only, man.

Nostalgiaferatu!

Did A-Ha break up? I thought you just couldn't get their more recent albums in the US... Somebody from a mailing list I'm on sent me one song from a recent live album...

I like TfF! So that is cool. Though Roland's solo music was fine. I'm not sure how much he needed Curt.

Tears For Fears
Mad World
from "The Hurting"

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

I saw Roland a few years back at the Chance in Poughkeepsie

I got there really late, though, and missed the opening act, Jellyfish. It was absolutely the oddest experience, going to the Chance and being surrounded by young, polite nonsmokers. It wasn't Vassar students--this was before they actually began to venture beyond the fence. It's like there was this whole shadow community lurking in and around Poughkeepsie.

Really?!?!? Shows how much I know. I just assumed that since I hadn't heard anything about them in the last twelve years or so that they had gone off into that great 80's in the sky. I will investigate and self-educate.
