Gowan - A criminal mind - An iconic video from my youth.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeFm-rM51K4

I was a musical sponge during the 80s. My father had a record playing all the time. His tastes were, and continue to be, eclectic. One day he could be playing Neil Simon. Another day, he could have Genesis playing.

I started buying my own cassettes around 1986. I didn't have much of a collection, maybe 20 tapes.

I listened to a lot of radio. There was a station from a Mohawk reservation that I loved to listen to. I recorded a number of songs from there.

I'd say that for the 80s, Bon Jovi and U2 were my favourite acts. I picked up Motley Crue during the Dr. Feelgood era. From there, I got into Skid Row and Queensryche.

I had heard some metal, such as Priest and Maiden. I didn't get it back then. I thought it was mostly noise. Once the 90s hit, I went for louder music. I discovered the Cure when Wish was released.

As for my buying habits, I would almost always buy the back catalog of a band I enjoyed.

Much Music was a big deal. The biggest benefit from watching Much was being able to discover Canadian acts. They promoted a lot of talent.

My favourite way of listening to my tapes was to lie down on the floor, headphones on. I'd read, then memorize, the liner notes and lyrics.

Norg, physical music didn't start in the 1860s! Where are you going??

Music collector: Neil Simon? Isn't he a playwright?

Thanks for correcting me. I meant Paul Simon.

Edison phonograph cylinder (1888): Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) - The Lost Chord & Speech

In 1982 I was in Graphic Arts class in HS and the teacher, Mr Rocket, gave us permission to take turns playing music throughout the course. Each student got a day to bring in one album, and when it was my turn, I brought in Iron Maiden - Killers. I had already drawn a block shaded version of Eddie from the cover art for screen printing that I was working on, so I thought it was only appropriate to play the album while I worked on printing mirrors, note pads, and a t-shirt. Most everyone looked at me like I was an alien, but there were one or two early metal heads that came up to me and said they were absolutely floored by what they just heard. It was also one of the first albums I learned on guitar note-for-note, front to back. I had a real passion for this stuff early on.

Mr Rocket kept my blue poly printing negative for future students to use, and when I got out of the service, I was at a friends house and noticed his little bother had used my work on a mirror that was hanging in his room some 8 years later. There were a few others (I used to draw a lot of dragons) Mr Rocket kept as well that were also on display at my friends place. It was a little surreal, and I had no idea up until that point.

Nostalgia feels.

Nice quote, and a great Proto-Industrial track from Sir A Sullivan !

And a sort of answer to norg's question: I can't remember the exact quotation, but this is from a poet, more or less in 1918 who came from a priviledged background but was then thrown into the horrors of WWI:-

"I return in my mind to the blue remembered hills of my childhood, my mother playing the piano in another room. She always played The Moonlight Sonata, although she only knew the first movement."

I suspect that none of us had that kind of experience, but boy, does he bring it to life, and who among us doesn't occasionally want to return to the blue remembered hills of their childhood ?!

He sounds like a fun teacher. I had some good and fun teachers in school. None were that fun. My grade 13 French teacher had us making movies. I'd rather listen to Maiden though.
