Well, since this was a smashing success*, here’s part 2 fresh off my laptop. Enjoy some stellar 80’s pool rock!

*My apologies to my usual metal crowd. I can only hope you’re secure enough in your metal-infused masculinity to enjoy some pop and rock throwbacks to my golden age of teenagedom. If not, well, Opeth or Cannibal Corpse or something is surely on deck for Thursday.

For George – some Sweet Dreams!

Pool song and awesome song still featured on Supernatural to this day.

Disco Kiss, one of the biggest musical atrocities in the last half century…but oddly catchy! If you’re a young kid, add this to your Friday night make-out playlist. You’re welcome.

Some key points regarding Supertramp: I thought their singer was a woman and the mere mention of Supertramp immediately makes me hear the following – “Attention – this is the four…

Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

“HARDEN MY HEART” Is The Jam To End All Jams From The Band QUARTERFLASH

…

“…All Of My Life…

…I’ve Been Waitin’ In The Rain…

…I’ve Been Waitin’ For A Feeling…

…That Never, Ever Came…

…It Feels So Close…

…But Always Disappears. …“

…

“…Darlin’, In Your Wildest Dreams…

…You Never Had A Clue…

…But It’s Time You Got The News. …“

…

“…I’m Gonna HARDEN MY HEART…

…I’m Gonna Swallow My Tears…

…I’m Gonna Turn And Leave You Here. …“

…I’m Now Into NO-HOLDS-BARRED…

QUARTERFLASH

…MODE!!!

Like, For Realz, Kids!!!

And…

QUARTERFLASH

…Has Now Made A Heroic Return To My MP3PLAYER!!!

The Memory Was A Touch Hazy In Regard To Most Of Their Album…

…Though I Clearly Remember…

“FIND ANOTHER FOOL“

…And…

“VALERIE“

…AAAND…

“CRUISIN’ WITH THE DEUCE“

…Along With The Classic Super-Jam…

“HARDEN MY HEART“

!!! !!!! !!!

QUARTERFLASH

…Is One Of Those Bands That Seem To Churn-Up Good Feelings…

…Regardless Of When I’m Listening To Them…

…And Regardless Of Which Song Is Actually Playing.

Must Be That Hot Hot HOT ’80s SAX!!!

“HARDEN MY HEART“

…Was Their Most Popular Jam…

…And Rightly So.

It’s An Amazing Song.

So Amazing…

…In Fact…

…It’s Been Playing About In My Brain Since Its Rediscovery The Other Day.

The Only Song From…

QUARTERFLASH

…I’d Say Could Come Close To Rivaling…

“HARDEN MY HEART“

…Would Be The Wonderful Wonderful Jam…

“FIND ANOTHER FOOL“

…Which I’m Already Thinking About Blogging About!

(teehehe)

😉

Listening To…

QUARTERFLASH

…Reminds Me A Bundle Of My Childhood.

My Father Simply LOVED Them.

So Much So, It Was One Of The Very First CD’s He Purchased During The 1980s.

I Keep Trying To Tell Folks That…

…When It Comes To Music…

…I Was Raised Right.

And I Sincerely Believe That Is So.

Having A Family That Truly Considered Quality Music To Be An Essential Of Daily Living…

…I’ve Always Considered Myself Very Lucky.

While Most Kids Were Trying To Rebel From The Music Of Their Parents…

…I Chose To Embrace It.

Granted…

…That Decision DID Net Me More Detractors Than Supporters…

…But I Really Don’t Give A Rip.

I Didn’t Give One Then…

…And I Sure As Can Be Don’t Give One Now.

I Like What I Like.

Just Like You…

…And You…

…And Even You In The Back.

Period.

What More Is There To Be Said, My Peeps?

Not Much, Eh?

Good.
