There are some records that define who we are, we grow up listening to stuff that is either in vogue or is against the norm, music that we have “discovered†for ourselves.
I have few regrets in my life, but I do regret having a shitty time of it in Thatcher’s Britain of the 80’s, which saw me sell most of my record collection to pay for the teenagers’ lifestyle of drinking and “socialisingâ€. I have now worked long enough to be able to afford to replace some of the important music in my life that I sold to fund that teenage way of life (teenage kicks all through the night).
First Question: What record do you regret not now owning?
Tonight I watched a retrospective of the band Motorhead, a band I adored, and saw on several occasions, and it brought a lot of very good memories back to me, my first teenage girl experience was to a Motorhead album, and now after several whiskies and much hunting I have found the album (not the original one used to woo the particular girl) and think to myself, “now who the hell would this seduce?â€.
I am (perhaps) a little drunk (also on Baileys Angel Chat, but only as a mixer to a large Glenmorangie) and hence the nostalgia, but :
Second question:
What album (from the past) would you like to play to get your rhythm going, and do you think it would it work like it used too? (or did it ever really?)
For anyone who knows Motorhead better than just a heavy metal band, Iron Horse is very good for shagging too, unfortunately it is the last track on side one and you need to get up to turn the album over. Other records I used for this purpose (with Mrs Willy) was Pink Floyd Meddle s, Eric Clapton (particularly the sloppy classic) Wonderful Tonight, and perhaps a mistake on my part Joes Garage by Frank Zappa, which included tracks such as Crew Slut, Catholic Girls and Why does it hurt when I pee?.
p.s. Merry Christmas everyone, I think I may go to bed soon.

but I have my music on (quet coz of old neighbour) but I am choking back the nostalgia tears
