About Me

My photo
I am starting a journey that I call "RE" which means that after listing areas that I want to change or improve, I have decided to attack them with gusto to become the Me that I want to be. True to form, I was on fire for the re-newal but started procrastinating around month three and now I have three months before the big 40 arrives. Procrastination in my middle name...or rather, Tina is procrastination's middle name. See? Right there? In the middle? Tina.

REmember and REthink

So I am drinking a glass of Shiraz. Not to fond of it at the first few sips, but now it is starting to grow on me. I decide to work on my playlist @ playlist.com (find my playlists...my31baglady) anyhow, for quite some time I have been thinking about what would the Twilight Saga Soundtracks be comprised of if say they had been produced, in the 80's? Wow...many sounds come to my mind.

Fly on the Windscreen - Depechemode
The Chauffer - Duran Duran
Friends of Mine - Duran Duran
Killing Moon - Echo & The Bunnymen
Anything by The Cure, Siouxie and the Banshees,

Why does my heart flitter flutter when I hear this music? Is it because it was my "drug" when I was such a good girl? From 13-15 I spent a lot of time with my radio and my record player (note: not turntable, record player!) I was a product of divorce, alcoholism, and lots of drama. So, my comfort was music. I remember holding my radio to my ear on Sunday nights to catch "Rock Over London" at midnight...there was a fine line on the volume dial. One too many and Mom yelled for me to shut it off and one less and I couldn't hear so I had to press the speaker to my ear. Maybe that is one reason I can't hear very well today!

I can remember sad songs that broke my heart, Jane Says by Jane's Addiction and all songs by The Cure...I clung to them like they were written for me and my sad existence. When I was listening, singing, I could drift away into the world of Rock & Roll. It was a great ride.
90's?
