OMG anyone watching BBC4 synth britannia

[zanz1bar]

Boy do I feel old.
I barley recognise anyone. Just seen the two girls(!) from Human League, oh boy.
I had their faces on my bedroom wall for years.

[southeastastra]

depeche mode look about 12, love the nightclub with the live croc

[zanz1bar]

ye gods they look only a few years older than DS.

[zanz1bar]

I had forgotten just how much I wanted to live my life in a black and white french film.

[duckyfuzz]

oh yes, loving it, takes me right back

[janeite]

Dp has got it on in the other room and I am enjoying the Depeche Mode bursts.

[southeastastra]

plinky plonky !

[zanz1bar]

[janeite]

Ooh I just heard a burst of Electric Dreams - love it!

[bodycolder]

i love it all

[zanz1bar]

My DH is an old punk and he doesnt get it at all.
I shall be wafting around in a trench coat and beret for the next few days brain washing the DC with OMD in the car. They are strapped in and cant escape, they shall be mine

[bodycolder]

I was in love with dave gahan still am!My dp was in rock bands and is laughing his head off although has admitted some of the songs ar classics.Heaven 17 brilliant

[janeite]

I haven't heard my favourites - Lucifer's Friend and Nowhere Girl.

[janeite]

Oh and Obsession - was that by AnEmotion?

[glasjam]

Oh yes, feeling soooo old. I remember many a house party sitting on the sidelines whilst my friend had the face snogged off her. Me in my ski-jumper sweater dress, with Dare playing. I always thought David Gahan of depeche mode looked about 12 even when I was young. I'm finding it faintly amusing seeing the lead singers of OMD and Human League being interviewed - if you didn't know their history you would think that they'd worked in something like road haulage - bit bitter and snippy aren't they? Can't quite reconcile their present personas with their former more effete incarnations.

And Midge Ure - god love him, Vienna was fabulous but he NEVER looked cool did he? But I hear that song and it brings back a very particular time.

See that Janeite is on here, last time we crossed paths we shared remembrance of the Barrel Organ in Brum

[bodycolder]

Swoon I feel v nostalgic glad i got those leggings will wear them all week

[janeite]

Am such an 80s girl!

[bodycolder]

If there was time travel I would go back NOW!

[bibbitybobbityCAT]

Got it recorded for tomorrow night. Can't wait! .

[glasjam]

Ahh Say Hello Wave Goodbye - such memories. But then all that synth stuff morphed itself into Goth didn't it? A bit darker and moodier - I interspersed it all with a pinch of Smiths and Cocteau Twins to cheer myself up but failed.

Japan hold up well to the test of time - gorgeous in every respect!!

[janeite]

They were playing The Cocteau Twins in Gap last week, of all places - dd1 was unimpressed when I had a little singalong.

[glasjam]

Tears for Fears, I don't know about anyone else but I am visualising a cover of Smash Hits that I bought religiously throughout 81/82. The non-singer blokey had a bit of an over-inflated ego didn't he?

Now the Eurythmics never did it for me.
