iTunes Celebrity Playlist - Yazoo
29 May 2008
If you use the iTunes digital music software, click on this link to view Alison and Vince's choice of favourite songs and comments on their choices.
Amongst the selection are songs such as 'Are "Friends" Electric?' (one of Alison's choices) and 'Puff The Magic Dragon' (which is one of Vince's).
Total Situation At Lakewood Theater
29 May 2008
So I return from the Memorial Day holiday to find a surprising announcement in my mailbox: Yaz has reunited for the first time in 25 years and is coming to the Lakewood Theater.
Yeah, that Yaz (or Yazoo in the UK). Like, Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke (also of Depeche Mode and Erasure). As in, "Situation," "Only You" and "Don't Go." You know, the band that helped comprise the soundtrack (along with Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush) to that underrated coming-of-age film (based on Robert Cormier's book) The Chocolate War.
You can call me a freak, but Upstairs at Eric's was a classic '80s album and the fact that it might be played live, as opposed to on repeat in my childhood bedroom while I pine over various ill-fashioned boys, is pretty kick-ass for a thirtysomething fogey like myself.
