This is a pretty sweet mix of by far my favorite Book of Love song (right after Modigliani). The original is so pretty, and epic. This just gives it a better beat, w/out taking away from the original atmosphere. Oh and to the topic of SF. I've lived here for 13 years, and I love it. Best city in the states I've ever been to. If you go out to 80's/Goth/Post-Punk clubs in SF, look for DJ FACT.50, and I'll spin some BOL for you =)
Well you boys, When this finally hit it big as I thought it would i laid to rest my baby of ten years. We discovered alot together and made a fine wine together and I miss him to this this day, as I have found it really hard to move on without his memory attached to me in some way, hence finally getting hitched after 24 years after his death so I really do get it. It get's hard out there sometimes
i was barely 21 back in '88 and just moved to SF and i got to live on the Presido for a month in enlisted/nco billeting quarters since i was in the CA Natl Gaurd before finding my own place in the the SF area. I fondly remeber listening to BOL all the time there esp. at the midnight sun in the Castro... maybe i'll move back someday - this song really brings back the memories...
I got to see them live in Houston when I was in 8th grade at a place called Fame City. They are fantastic and the lead singers voice is heavenly. I remember dating a girl in the same grade and we went together. My dad dropped us off. Great memories getting out of the car and all my closest friends hanging by the front doors to the building. Kinda like the gang from St Elmos fire.
@equinoxPi Don't do it! Went to San Fran about a year ago with ma, since that its been over 20 years.(San Francisco Bay to Breakers). Anyway, the place has changed, big time. too many people all in one place. Come to think of it California has changed altogether. What the hell, i blame Arnold. "I will terminate your taxes. First I will take your money from you, and put it in a rainy day fund, so that when It rains I will give your money back to you, as you know we are in a twenty year drought...
We have to stop saying "it was great", it still is! Let us not lay down to the canned-pop being spewed in the airwaves. My nieces and nephews sure don't...~.^
uh, i'll gladly join in your reminiscing! i was about to enter high school when this song came out! chicago in the 80s was probably some of the best times in my life--minus the frosted jeans! lol
oh--yes--medusa's--why, oh, why are you a suburban club now!
@housedubs Oh my god...i remember Medusa's!!! This is classic dance music!!! I wanna go back in the 1988 where dance music is less complicated and have catchy melodies.....I missed those times, terribly...
What memories.........1988, I was 18 years old. Parties, girls, great bands, Book Of Love, The Pixies, Depeche Mode, Oingo Boingo......yes, if there was a year i could repeat one more time, it would be 1988!!!
This song brings back some great memories...... Wow..... I wish I was young again! They not playing when they say once you hit your twenties, time flys by.......
I have a ton of stuff. maybe 5 gigs worth of underground and some commercial 80's stuff that I have re-collected thru the years. I am 38 now and these songs really take me back to when I was a horny teenager ( kidding ), but great memories :)
Ever hear something so damn beautiful that it fills you with emotion, make you wanna dance, and cry from happiness at the same tme....LOVE THIS MIX! LOVE THE BAND! God , I wish they do a reunion tour!
80's music is still the best...by far. this group should have been HUGE!!! i think they needed a different manager or something. i am just glad i knew their music and still love it!
wish we could go back !!
