I ...I agree about Danny Elfman and LOVE his scores. I don't, however, like Oingo Boingo; they're too... boingy for me. "Killer in the bathroom, boing boing boing..." I bop along with them when the husband puts them on the ubiquitous iPod, but I'm loyal to my bands: Queensryche, Big Country, Rush, OLD U2 (I have little use for much after <i>Joshua Tree</i>), Marillion, etc. You really can't dance to anything I like, is what it comes down to.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623031374944444521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872252.post-9300281449632224662009-10-04T00:31:22.971-04:002009-10-04T00:31:22.971-04:00Oingo Boingo are awesome!

They had a concert at the Hollywood Bowl (think symphonies, classical music etc..great acoustics, relatively small venue) one year that I went to and the people running the place had no clue. They wouldn't let us dance in front of the stage, or the aisles..or even in our seats! We eventually went all the way to the back to an unsold section and took it over and they finally let us alone.<br /><br />Danny Elfman is a genius, and does a lot of scores for films now. I'd love the band to do a reunion tour.Gahriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795449308207016641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872252.post-64707024313919924662009-10-03T10:07:29.758-04:002009-10-03T10:07:29.758-04:00Nope, Gahrie, you weren't the culprit; I'm...Nope, Gahrie, you weren't the culprit; I'm trying to remember his last name. He was a year behind me, two behind you - Richard something. He started me on Asia and then Dio. I still like Asia, but I confess I don't listen to a lot of Dio. To my great surprise, my boppy-dance-music husband (favorite band Oingo Boingo) owns more Dio than I do!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623031374944444521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872252.post-67246082950629507222009-09-24T20:29:06.095-04:002009-09-24T20:29:06.095-04:00Hmm....I was split between drama and football at o...Hmm....I was split between drama and football at one point...but in my case I was told that I had to choose between them by the drama teacher. (before you got there)<br /><br />I also listened quite a bit to Asia. ( I had a 90 min cassette tape with Asia Asia on one side and Journey Escape on the other...eventually wore it out) <br /><br />However I don't think I was the one to convert/corrupt you.<br /><br />I just got a copy of a hard drive with virtually every song that player on the radio between 1950 -2002 and a couple hundred albums and assorted other songs. ( a large folder of Spanish music, a large folder of soundtracks, a large folder of Hawiian music...) I'm going nuts with it.<br /><br />And yes, the Left has always had a bad case of projection.....Gahriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795449308207016641noreply@blogger.com
