Wow, another guilty pleasure! A nugget ‘cause I dug it. I also enjoyed the video that went along with it. Starring Annie Lennox and John Malkovich, it also featured an actor I knew from “Blackadder”, who would later become fairly well known over here. It’s Hugh Laurie, “House”, in his sniveling fop mode that he does so well.
Again, a reminder of Dynacircuits days in the early 90’s. I had a 90 minute cassette called Album Hits, that I listened to on my daily commute (about 1.5 hours round trip, Elgin to Franklin Park and back). This tape contained the single song from each album heard on the radio, usually, that led me to buy the album. I also had a tape called MTV Hits that contained the one song, typically, that had a video which moved me to buy the whole album or CD to get that one song. Many of these songs are now on my Zune playlist.
Annie Lennox’s, Diva, from which this song came, was an exception. I had a separate cassette with Diva on side one and Lindsay Buckingham’s Out of the Cradle on the other side. I just realized I have no representative from this great album on the playlist (though the whole CD is on the Zune in its own folder).
The only car with a cassette player is our family car, the 14 year old Camry Lynn drives the kids around in. My car, an eight year old Echo, only has an AM-FM radio, through which I play my Zune, with an FM transmitter.
The only tapes we listen to in the Camry are kid’s songs. There’s one called Tuneland, “starring” Howie Mandel singing in an irritating faux kid’s voice. But, we all sing along to keep everyone occupied.
