It’s sometimes nice to intersperse your listening of modern retro 80’s pop with the genuine article.
\nSo today I am rediscovering the ABC album “Absolutely”. And what a gem it is too. I know I tend to bandy the “this is perfect pop” line around a bit too much (so much that I think that phrase is now meaningless hyperbole of you hear it from me) so I will refrain from going down that road today. <\/p>\n
In other news, it’s already May 2010, virtually all of my friends are now parents and the Japanese spring is here. Most people seem to think that spring is a time to celebrate life, have picnics, hack seals to death etc etc but they obviously have never spent spring in Japan.
\nDon’t. <\/p>\n
And finally today, this is being written on the Yotsubashi subway line on a best-selling touch screen mobile telephone. My first such post. When the train pulls into the next station (and I get cell coverage again) I will try posting.
