Some kids get addicted to looking at Facebook, some kids get addicted to playing online games 6+ hours a day, I loose my computer for 6 days and start crying tears of quiet happiness just being able to hear this song again.
LOVE this song, never heard it before I got it on 12 inch single about 7 weeks ago from a local charity shop for 10p also got at the same time, 12 inch singles of I'll Save All My Kisses by Dead Or Alive, The Great Commandment by Camouflage, Somebody Someday by 2AM and Girl In The Ghetto by Cry Before Dawn all 10p each too, was well happy LOL
I've had this FUCKIGTASTIC track on "cassette tape" since 1988 ( yeah, I've STILL got "tapes" and I wouldn't TRADE them for NONE of this "modern" SUCK ASS SHIT which FUCKS UP within 5 min. of purchase!!!...) Anyway, my tape from '88 STILL plays just FINE and I never knew until TODAY ( ONLY 23 years LATER!!!... Lol!!!...) that this great song I taped from "college radio" back then was "Pseudo Echo"!!!.... NOSTALGIA-VILLE for sure!!!....
I'd be happy if men stopped bathing in axe they are worse than women nowadays.deodarant and a shower is all a man needs.proper fitting pants would also be a good idea=)never heard this one before.I like it.
Not that its bad, it's just different from what I heard/seen with the same video... I wish someone can post the original album version, not the "beefed-up, steroid-extendo-supahr-sheen, version of this....
This version of Livin in a Dream says it is from the album Love an Adventure but the running time on the album is 3:28 where this video is 4:16. How can I download this one?
I feel so very, very old watcing this--because I have first hand memories of when this came out. Us generation xers are like the babyboomers reminiscing over doo-wap and buddy holly kitsch 20 years ago
They are borderline "straight" as far as music goes. Brian Canham rocks, but the guitar-keyboard and the other blokes, well, um, yeah... The Marshall quadbox speaker stacks just get them over the line to straight ;-)
Just kidding, but anything with heaps of keyboards and production was automatically gay in the 80s - just have a look at Bros...
Wierd how the "wall of sound" isnt there after 1:57, I know this is a remix and it does sound good! But the original sound eludes me here... :)) *smilies*
Wow! This is the first time I've seen this video for the song. When this first came out, the U.S. music channels showed a completely different performance video.
@DominicanAllSaints Yes, I agree...I remember a totally different video for this song. TBS's NIGHT TRACKS used to show...that's how I was introduced to Psuedo Echo way back in 1987! Then FUNKYTOWN became their big hit and I was ahead of the game cause I had their tape! The chicks still hated me!
Oh to have my 1983 Oldsmobile Fierenza that was leakingwater from the sunroof and "trunk." Some of my friends were 2-3 yrs younger than me and I'd pick them up from school as a favor, but they'd wondered: "Who is this AWESOME band?" And I'd ennunciate (incorrectly: Psuedo Echo, from Australia!"), and they'd go, yea, yea.... Of course I'd find out, they went to the local RECORD shop, bought the RECORD, and thank me later... I just want to thank PE, for this AWESOME video....
rem this one brain walk in a stang room livin in a dream its dream its stange to be when you r livin dream here eyes around me its not king or queen its strange wars no viiolence lmao
hahaha,, acting like bad asses on a plastic set... Funny. Unintentionally funny. But funny. See Franz Ferdinand's Do You Want To" for a great intentionally funny video and a great song. BTW Echo & The Bunnymen & Ian McCulloch, the Cocteau Twins and Depeche Mode ruled the 80's, and some still up to this very day.
That story has been shown many times: the band comes in and the REAL party starts. But I'm somehow particularly fascinated with this clip. Truly great video, truly great band. Go Australians :) You have fantastic musicians over there:)
OMG.....I used to love that hair back then!!!... tight jeans and t-shirts or white jumpers tucked in jeans and done up hair.....it's funny how times change!!!
Pseudo Echo are a FANTASTIC band!!!! It's great to see James in this video. He has an older cousin i met a couple of times years back, is a singer and friend of my brother. He was going to take me to meet James, but did not end up happening. Maybe one day! James is a honey!!!!
This is the opening song in the wave pool in Arizona where Rick wins 500 dollers for winning a surf contest in the movie North shore. Pseudo Echo did most of the soundtrack. The movie now is bigger then when it came out because, a whole bunch of big surfers were in it. Laird Hammellton for one, who is now known for riding the first 100 ft wave in South Africa. His name was Lance Berckheart, and played a complete asshole. He should get into raw Lol.
I wish there was I way I could download all the Songs (from youtube) from the Love an Adventure album I have the Album( LP) and Cassette. I have nothing to play the LP on and the Cassette is to worn out.
OMG, so tragic that i remember having a crush on James the keyboard player!! I have this album on vinyl - it was the first one i ever bought, i was 12 years old, and i still play it for drunken kareoke sessions! SOOOOOOO funny
@whutzat LOL... because nowadays they wear their pants around their ankles, as wanna be gangstas ... back in the day we all wore it tight :-) showed the booty lol
@whutzat if the modern lad reclaimed for himself the nice mullet sculpted off the face like a cuddly forest creature, and slipped into an airy low-collar shirt and a strict brow removal regime ... Actually, go down to Leichhardt or any of the other great soccer districts of our fair nation and content your heart!
@whutzat They weren't overweight, had some hair on their head, didnt dress like a gym teacher, and didn't let homophobia dictate their every move. Im other words they had some style?
Pierre looks quite cute in this video. In the day I only had eyes for Brian, but having met them the other day I have developed a new appreciation for Pierre.
awsome i was 15 in a band had the head bands pink shirts the lot but could neve math these cats 80s was it there is nothing else all you guys and girls rock just to keep the dream alive
This is my favorite song love it Brian is so lovely!!!
