Edge gets a lot of hugs. I also have a friend who got one, years ago.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I NEED TO HUG THE EDGE!!!!!
Sorry. Better now.
Goth style icon, the young Dave Vanian.
What a pretty and dapper sonofabitch.

I'm tempted by this 7" boxset, although the price is a definite barrier: [link]
Oh, but you know that's going to appreciate in value like crazy.
I should maybe ask this in Gaming, but is there any chance the soundtrack MCR did for Shellshock II will be sold separately, as a soundtrack?
It's all covers of 60s and early 70s songs.
I'm distracting myself today with 80s videos on VH1 Classic. So far:
- Olivia Newton-John, Physical: I'd forgotten the gay angle on this one. Love the headband, Liv!
- Madonna, Lucky Star: Oh man, I sure loved Madonna in this phase. I had a couple of net tops like the black one she wears in this video. She was so darling!
- Hall and Oates, One on One: I never was much with the H&O love (sorry, Plei!).
- Pretenders, Middle of the Road: "I've got a kid, I'm 33 baby!" Hell yeah! Also, love the glitter hat, Hynde!
I wanted to be Chrissie Hynde when I was in high school. She was my fashion role model--big shirt with skinny tie and a fedora (I could never find one that fit my big head, damnit!!).
I wanted to be Chrissie Hynde when I was in high school.
I did then and I still do!
And more:
- Devo, Whip It: Still weird, still want to dance (or rollerskate) to it.
- John Cougar Mellencamp, Small Town: This is no fun. Doesn't feel dated like a lot of this 80s stuff (Pretenders are really in that camp as well). ChildMellencamp was adorable.
- Evelyn Champagne King, Love Come Down: Damn, I had completely forgotten this one. Probably for the best. Ms. King is wearing a fetching pink culotte one-piece with puffy, bubble-skirty legs.
- David Lee Roth, California Girls. Ugh. I never did get this.
