heavyharmonies Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Got around to putting a bunch of random stuff from my collection (past and present) on a portable hard drive so I would have some new listening at the office. Loaded all 50GB into Windows Media Player and hit shuffle. I'm running into a few tracks that I'd forgotten about, or flat out never heard before. I thought it would be fun to occasionally post a track here for folks to check out, have you guess who it is, and post your thoughts pro or con about the tune(s). First one: Track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinsane Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I like it! Got that nice London Quireboys/Janis Joplin vibe. Is this that Andy McCoy project called Cherry Bombs? Sidebar: How in the dickens do you get the links to pop up the media player??? I would love to do stuff like that for a song or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha... I was going to PM Dan the other day to ask the same. Perhaps a step-by-step guided tour is in order? As for the song, Cherry Bombz sounds like a solid guess to me.

Dead Planet Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sounds like it's worth tracking down...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyharmonies Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Track 1 was from Krystal - Plug This! from 1994. And here is Track 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelinger Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I got about a minute into track 1 and had to bail. That voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard and I found the lyrics were kind of juvenile. No offense. Gawd - track 2 starts out with a really cheesy intro, and at the end of verse 1, there's a Michael Jacksonesque "Owwwww!!!". I just couldn't go on any farther. Granted, I prefer much heavier stuff, so maybe I'm not the best choice to critique these tracks. As an opinionated asshole, I tend to rub people the wrong way with my two cents.

Geoff Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Track 1 was from Krystal - Plug This! from 1994. I'm confused now. Isn't there a dude singing for Krystal? I have that disc and I swore it was a dude. I need to do some serious re-listening tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Howdy Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 That is a guy singing on song one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Howdy Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 As for the second song, I'm guessing Bogart Co, going by the album on the main site and the sound of their videos on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 That is a guy singing on song one! WTF???!! Okay, I just need to hear this all again. Although, as Axelinger noted, it wasn't exactly pleasant listening the first time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an opinionated asshole, I tend to rub people the wrong way with my two cents. I have to agree with this 100%. I don't mind some cheesy stuff, but holy f*ck! Waaaay too cheesy 80's pop for me. Sounds like a theme song to some horrid 80's teen movie with nerds perving on sexy girls in the shower or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyharmonies Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Tough room. Guess I'd better not break out any vintage '80s Dan Hartman or Van Stephenson... -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I really like track 2. Very 80's sounding and I'm no stranger to the music from the 80's. But I got no clue who this is.... So Dan enlighten us, who is it? Bogart Co's out of the question Captain Howdy, I got that disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyharmonies Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's one for all the April Wine completists. It's from Greenway - Serious Business from 1988. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
