Nostalgic Songs

[Not in Crawley]

Listening to B&S this week took me right back, first bars of a song zipping me back 25 years. I love finding and listening to new music, and have a few go-to albums/artists that I always listen to but sometimes songs drop off the radar and then you listen to it back and you'd forgotten what a great song it was, and the time and place you bought it/heard it/who you were with etc.

This popped up recently and can't stop playing it. I remember buying the album and then going for a coffee with a couple of mates in that place in the Market Hall (you walked up some stairs and looked down on the Market Place - god knows what it was called) on hearing this song on a TV programme Jarvis Cocker was doing at the time (again fuck knows what that was)

So go on class..any take you back to a time and place (not a tune that you listen to a lot though!)

happy hour - some bar in benidorm, about 88

scorpions - wind of change.  bar in hersonnisos, crete, about 89

jackie wilson - reet petite - coventry away, about 87

sly fox - lets go all the way. foxhall, blackpool after fleetwood, late 80s?

[Nowack]

Crawleys post actually reminded me of the first time I heard Mercury Rev,  Benicassim in 99. Bought Deserters Songs when I got back, excellent album. Great way to end the 90s.

Elvis - Love me tender when the boy was born …. and the wife was making a fuss about a c section or summat 😇 . Had a sneaky look over the screen while it  was all going off was like a puppet show . Women are defo tougher than men !

[Cheese]

This instantly transports me back to my first lads holiday, on the island of Kos in 2000. Every single bar seemed to play it every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day.

Girl from Mars by Ash.

First proper bird at high-school. Shared an earphone each all the way to london on school trip.

She taped the the tape and gave it me as a present.

Pretty Green Eyes

Lads and girls I knocked about with growing up used to go out and about  every night. 
 

One night me and this lass were the only ones left on the park I walked her home and we sat in her porch listening to this song whilst I fingered her. 
 

BANGA

[bolton_blondie]

Reminds me of being 16 and a whore in town. Now I'm 35 and a whore in town.

Gone full circle

Pure by the Lightning Seeds always reminds me of a certain night and a certain girl.

And then there's this one :

I was in Prague a couple of weeks ago, I might have mentioned it and made my usual walk past the Lennon Wall. There is a small museum a street away so we went in. They had an album cover of A Hard Days Night. 
Got talking (reluctantly) to the proprietor, a young mother,  who was breast feeding a baby at the same time. Told her that the album was the first I ever owned. She asked me my favourite and I said ‘If I fell’

Said it was hers as well.

It used to remind me of my visit to the Odeon Cinema in Bolton with half our street to watch the film.

It now reminds me of a brief encounter with a woman breast feeding her baby in Prague.

Don’t judge me.😊

Dead End Street by The Kinks.

Used to love it when everybody in the pub sang

'What are we living for. To see United in Division Four'.

Long before the Premier League obviously.

[athywhite1958]

On the pitch at Blackburn in 1978 and over the tannoy came 'December '63 (Oh what a night) favourite record of all time ever since

[stevieb]

Warehouse project at Boddingtons in about 2006/07. The avalanches DJ set and they dropped this when I was on acid and Es. 

Spent the rest of the evening dancing with anyone and everyone completely and utterly loved off my tits. 

Don't think I've ever had a night quite like it since.

That's where we were too. 😁 Must've spent 48 hours solid in The Funky Worm. It was directly across the road from our villa so we didn't even have to use their toilet when we needed a shit.

I've also just remembered there was a bar that had a Bolton shirt hung up on the wall, and we spent most of our fortnight sat in there getting absolutely hammered and watching Only Fools and Horses repeats. 😂

And watching American Pyscho in some bar that showed snide films during the day 

And this song which was played second most after Black Legend

Aye, I nearly posted that one, but Black Legend just edged it.
