So I finally got to blast Tattoo in the car instead of my shitty ear buds. I'm a train person. The chorus sounds so much better through speakers. Can't quite explain how, but I do know I love the song even more with real speaker presentation.Comment

Just done the opposite - first time I've listened to "Tattoo" on my hi-fi headphones, and I find it even more kickass like that, though I have pretty good Jamo loudspeakers in my sitting room (that is parquet-floored, which makes sound even "warmer"). You can hear more details with headphones on IMO, but I agree that music needs air too, so maybe both listening methods are complementary.
I had a one-week self-imposed break without listening to "Tattoo", because I had nearly reached overdose - the song is highly addictive... And well, it doesn't work less on me after that 8-day gap!
Still 2 more weeks to wait, buddies!

Yesterday, my 10 year old, who has been rocking Tattoo on the ipod she regularly steals from me to take to school, asked me: what else is DLR famous for (other than VH)? So I start in…”well, after he left VH in 1985”…and she goes “what do you mean he left VH?” and at that moment I had a revelation: kids, teens today may very well have memory of or exposure to Van Hagar; that whole era really could be completely erased until they are well indoctrinated (inoculated) enough to go back and look at the whole story. My kids already think California Girls, when it comes on the radio, is a VH song even though I’ve explained a couple of times it’s not, which just doesn’t seem to sink in their heads since they identify the singer’s voice with the band rather than the overall sound. So it gives me hope…on the other hand, the teen girls I know are into Bieber, which makes we wonder if the Second Coming is close at hand...of course the fact that VH is finally releasing another album after 20-odd years almost makes it a certainty.Comment

There is a TV show called Big Time Rush on Nick or Disney, whatever. I think the concept is teens at boarding school or college, but it’s Nick so it’s stupid sitcom stuff, not sex (hey, I survived without my parents monitoring my TV or music so my kids can do the same). About 3 weeks ago, my kids come running DLR is on TV. So I come running (the magic of DVR). It was some sequence where they are having a party and this host of “funny” characters come through the door. They play a few bars reminiscent of Jump and an obvious DLR (really more Dana Carvey) character comes in, does a “bibbidy-bop” and moves on. My first reaction was horror, then pride that my kids would recognize the reference, and then I thought it was kind of cool that the show’s writers (who must be in their 30s or 40s) are passingC VH/DLR on to today’s teens.
It's all about getting to them early, tho I think we may have to give up a whole generation that came of age in the 1990s as lost to the cause.Comment

Wolfie's so shy, he NEVER looks at the camera. I like this new band cos it's two very shy, very talented guys framing one helluva mouth in front and centre.
Roth speaks, the rest don't have to 'cause the music already does it for them.Comment
