  • Rex Widerstrom, in reply to Kumara Republic,

    So Steinman performed all the songs himself

    Superiorly, too. *genuflects reverently*

    Air Supply... meh... I almost couldn't forgive him for that. But still, considering what he got out of Bonnie Tyler, previously famous for a droning country pop number called "It's a heartache", for Air Supply to have worked with Steinman and only managed "Making Love" shows just how crap they were.

    *sigh*... Now I'm yearning to put the cans back on and go back to being a music station rock jock.

  • nzlemming,

    Apropos of nothing but too good not to share, rumours of Rodney Hide starting a new, more liberal party than ACT are unfounded.

  • Danielle,

    a droning country pop number called “It’s a heartache”

    I think I might like 'It's a Heartache' better than 'Total Eclipse of the Heart', though...

    (I am quite a one for country pop.)

    Ever since I simultaneously laughed and cried through a well-oiled group singalong of 'Heartache' at Jolisa’s dad’s “fun-eral” I have never heard it the same since.

  • Danielle,

    Which? The droning country pop or the Steinman drama-fest?

  • Sacha,

    Music, you say? 22nd anniversary of Doolittle brings free downloads (note Melissa Lee, Katrina Shanks et al) of early Pixies concert in Greece.

  • recordari,

    I don't remember whether it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster

    Jim Steinman.

    Clearly he wasn't paying attention. Telecasters rule, m'kay?
