you aren't just now discovering Oingo Boingo are you? (and Danny Elfman's So-Lo album rocks, too.) maybe you just forgot about them?

i've known of them, at least through the two movie hits (this one and Weird Science) for years, but only just bought a best-of compilation on the cheap at a used cd shop last night.

so i finally got to hear it on MY terms, not on "oh, it happens to be on the radio or on vh1-classic".

I wasn't all that into the alternative-dance scene back in the 80s. I liked what i heard, but rarely enough to buy (on my limited budget that was mostly going to comic books), then by the time I had more income, I had switched to classic rock instead of persuing the goth/alt scene more deeply.

so it is a sense of rediscovery of the aspects of the 80s I liked but didn't really delve into.

maybe its just that my 20th reunion is coming up in '08.

or maybe i'm just feeling old.

i posted about my favourite song, which is technically just Danny Elfman, but sounds Oingo-Boingo.

"it only makes me laugh." :)

sorry

Gotts say "duh." for this one.

Ask Steve for other halloween suggestions next year.

well, i'm always limited by what i have in stock at the time (see above - i only just bought this yesterday), plus having to make time for multiple genres (there's classical and film music on that list as well as the odd-80s-party stuff).

this year i limited myself to a cdrom.

Next year, a dvd-rom!

Makes sense. Let me remind him closer to halloween. (like around danse macabre) (sp?)

Virtually everything Bongo did rocks. Snag everything you can get your hands on.
