On another occasion, I dreamed a musical about spiked punch, sung by my high school classmates.]]> breno Trouser Press Tue, 20 Sep 2022 18:52:49 -0500 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64733#msg-64733 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64733#msg-64733
I know in dreams I’ve turned on the radio and heard the hot new (non-existent) Madonna song. Did my mind write, produce and perform that song… on a whim?]]> Bip Trouser Press Tue, 20 Sep 2022 17:48:32 -0500 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64732#msg-64732 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64732#msg-64732 I, Assassin and his first Numa platter, Berserker. (It was as if, mercifully, 1983’s Warriors had never existed.) I woke up before I could buy and listen to the discs, but I recall that at least one of the album covers was purple (the dream’s reflection of my passion for Dance, which I've written at ridiculous length about elsewhere on this forum), and that the various track listings, together with Numan’s pictures (his outfits on those covers, if memory serves, crossed the Telekon boiler suit with his early Eighties noir look) suggested a delectable combination of the discs he released between 1980 and ’82. I was disappointed with Numan’s work from ’83 on--though some of his later compositions were and are quite good--and I still wonder what those mysterious records sounded like.

This, incidentally, is the only album-related dream that I remember having. I’m a serious bibliophile, and once or twice a year I’ll dream that I’m in some imaginary used bookstore (a composite of the many such places I’ve visited through the decades), searching for equally imaginary books by some of my literary heroes: Gore Vidal, Vladimir Nabokov, Kurt Vonnegut, Don DeLillo, J.G. Ballard, etc. The bookstore is always the same one, and I know exactly where it’s located—on a street corner near the university I attended decades ago.]]> Middle C Trouser Press Tue, 20 Sep 2022 15:13:24 -0500 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64731#msg-64731 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64731#msg-64731
That said, if I came across a copy of Bad Religion's Into the Unknown (or the box set from a few years ago of which it was a part, which would probably be cheaper than an original copy at this point) at a price that wouldn't affect my mortgage, I'd be seriously tempted.]]> Michael Toland Trouser Press Tue, 20 Sep 2022 14:58:44 -0500 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64730#msg-64730 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64730#msg-64730 Gentlemen Take Polaroids album. A dissatisfied David Sylvian replaced the track with "Burning Bridges" (an excellent composition, by the way), finally releasing "Fool" (with then-new vocals) on his 2000 compilation Everything and Nothing. A poor-quality recording of the Japan track can be found at YouTube.

Sylvian's 2000 version is great, but I still long for the elusive 1980 original.]]> Middle C Trouser Press Tue, 20 Sep 2022 14:25:10 -0500 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64729#msg-64729 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64729#msg-64729 Ready Steady Who]]> ira Trouser Press Tue, 20 Sep 2022 14:05:24 -0500 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64728#msg-64728 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,64725,64728#msg-64728
