So I guess I'm the only one not hearing the DM comparison (except for the keyboard tune that is) :) I really like the jam nonetheless! *watching you all dance embarrassingly and enjoying it tremendously* haha
@AlicejustMay Oh yeah, I can definitely see where you'd get The Mission from it. Not all of his stuff is so '80s though. Some of it has a more melancholic, haunting Radiohead type vibe. HA! Thank you for the image of your past self putting away a bottle of Thunderbird and getting down to stuff like this. :D
@shiningsun Ur right a little DM...and other early '80's bands that discovered the marvels of the electronic keyboard, but with rocker vocals...I like:)
Happy Birthday!!! ( Well, it's "Cinco de Mayo" here at the moment, anyway!) Will you be posting a new jam for your Birthday? If so, then I'll return & wish you Happy Birthday on your page all over again! :-)
@debutch Thanks! I was toying with the idea of posting again on my birthday even though I try to wait six days, but it depends. There's a good chance I won't be home long enough to worry about it, but I still might upload a new userpic either way. :)
@bassscape You and me both! And it's actually the solo project of Chris Corner, one of the founding members of the Sneaker Pimps: https://youtu.be/2eBZqmL8ehg.
Hey there Cinco de Mayo, happy birthday!!! Last year you got surprised when I congratulated you, now you see? There's a May party going on!!! =D So happy new day and happy new year Jeremy! ROCK ON!!! =D
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday..and so on and so on~
Hope your day was fantastic ... heres a little Altered Images for you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t1vaF50Ks0
OH MY GOD!! Is THAT you?? ( I mean the one at the front with the rugged hunk looks ) If it is, then I reckon your followers will be doubled by next week...... :-)
@debutch Haha I'm the tall one in front, anyway. I wanted to use something form a concert or music-related and this is the clearest recent pic I could find from one. It was at the Common Ground Festival in Lansing, Michigan and those are the 3 friends I dragged along. Funny two of us went for the serious, menacing look and the other two went with big smiles. Good times. Ha! double my following? Maybe eventually after half drop out in disappointment.Thanks for the confidence once again though! :D
@shiningsun2k It's a great picture! Terrific! You look like a cross between a young Robert Mitchum & a young Jonathan Richman! Hey Girls!! ( @SheRa & @BladeRunner ) Have a look at this! ( You may need your smelling salts ! :-) )
@shiningsun2k ....It's funny but you're the exact opposite of how I imagined you!! ( student-looking type,... maybe with glasses with unkempt hair) .......not quite! haha!
@debutch Ha! I'm not young enough to be look too much like a student, but I do wear glasses and it's not unusual for the hair to grow into quite a "jewfro" before I clean it back up (I'm Jewish; I can't help it). I just don't often trust myself not to lose or damage my glasses at a concert if I were to wear them and I had a haircut recently. And OMG, you do NOT need to be calling the girls over!
@melissapulo Speaking of this new trend of @debutch's, when is YOUR birthday??? :D As far as actors, I never saw any of his movies, but multiple customers at a store I used to work at said I looked like Jim Caviezel.
@shiningsun2k Hmm, not who I was thinking of, but can see where they are coming from. :-) My birthday is next month, but I have already posted me as a witch (my normal attire, before @sbrennan0161 and @debutch beat me to it :-)) at Halloween. :-)
@melissapulo@debutch And I missed it?! Unless I saw it and just forgot...Hmm. Haha maybe I'll use one of me dressed up as Annie Lennox from Sweet Dreams for Halloween a few years ago in the future. :)
@melissapulo I think you'll find that I changed my avatar to myself for my birthday back in February. Not stealing anyone's thunder, just saying I'm the OG. :-)
@shiningsun2k A belated happy birthday to you. I actually see a bit of Vincent Cassell in you (of Oceans 11 fame) Apologies if this doesn't sit well. :-)
@shiningsun2k Mel @melissapulo told me that she's gonna upstage me by posting a new avatar of herself by a world famous portrait photographer giving it the glamour/soft focus treatment and then she'll treat us all to a video of her doing the Jitterbug with TIMJ s' finest dancer, Simon @sbrennan ....can't wait!.....btw, it's the 10th...put it in your diary.. ;-)
@melissapulo ...well, Simon @sbrennan0161 DOES have a point ( yours being on Halloween) You're going to have to follow his lead now for next month. btw, this is a tactful little 'nudge' for Jess @BladeRunner , whose Birthday is on Saturday! ....one last thing Mel, who does Simon look like? ( my imagination goes no further than his avatar! haha!) :-)
@debutch nice try Butch, kkkkk but remember, I've alredy made an 'appearance', many months ago on my background? i haven't told nobody - true; i had a little maskie on - true : but it was me!
@sbrennan0161 I had to look him up, but yeah, I can totally see the Vincent Cassell resemblance - way more than Caviezel - and that sits just fine with me. :)
@debutch Well, I recall @sbrennan0161 telling me he was discussing the question at work, who would play you in a film (not actually you, but you know what I mean :-)). His team suggested that Tom Cruise would play Simon, but not sure if that was in reference to his stature or not, I couldn't say ;-)
@shiningsun2k Ha, not everyone, only my two nemeses @debutch and @sbrennan0161, it is merely self-defence, they are two to my one (but still not a full set of marbles between them) ... :-)
@melissapulo "My two nemeses"? Are you setting yourself up as some kind of evil Bond villain? How is abusing (unprompted) both @debutch and myself "self-defence" (and Dave was being very complimentary remember) Shame on you. :-)
@sbrennan0161 Ha ha, touché, Tommy, touché, now you KNOW I had purple hair... :-) And you're right, @debutch is adorable, I've changed my mind, you are my one nemesis... :-)
@sbrennan0161@melissapulo HA! Would you prefer to be called Blowfeld, Melissa? Or Dr. Evil? And the picture is magnificent! I in fact have not seen it before now. Thanks for that!
@melissapulo I didn't know you were a TV personality with your own show! Okay, @sbrennan0161, nice try, but I know that's not her 'cause she looks nothing like the witch in the two links above. ; )
@melissapulo@shiningsun2k@sbrennan0161 I'm glad Simon has cleared things up with those links.....uncannily like Nick Cave!.....and Mel!...have you put a bit of weight on since your last witchy photo?? (snigger...) ;-) x

SheRa
Nice Choon to be stuck on!! Embarrassing dancing by me starting in 3...2...1 woo!!!!
debutch
Very infectious! ...and Yes! Early Depeche Mode!
christineb
I agree with the DM comparison...digging this a lot
christineb
@SheRa I will join you in the embarrassing dancing ...
shiningsun2k
@christineb @SheRa I might be a little late to the party, but... *ensues with the embarrassing dancing nonetheless*
shiningsun2k
@debutch Isn't it?! Glad I'm not the only one picking up the classic DM vibes.
shiningsun2k
@christineb @debutch @SheRa You guys might already know, but IAMX is the solo project of Chris Corner, founding member of the Sneaker Pimps. https://youtu.be/2eBZqmL8ehg
LoveCandy
Much like!! :-)) ♡
shiningsun2k
@LoveCanNeverLie Glad to hear it! :D
redheadx
So I guess I'm the only one not hearing the DM comparison (except for the keyboard tune that is) :) I really like the jam nonetheless! *watching you all dance embarrassingly and enjoying it tremendously* haha
shiningsun2k
@redheadx Haha Yeah, it's just that keyboard bit that screams DM to me. The vocals completely different.
colinflynn28
yeah, can feel a little depeche mode in there. Reminds me a bit of an 80's style tune. very enjoyable thanks :)
AlicejustMay
Never would have thought this could come from a member of Sneaker Pimps. Completely 80s - a cross between DM and, perchance, The Mission?
AlicejustMay
Sort of thing I used to dance to at Manchester's The Ritz after a bottle of Thunderbird (Blue). Christ. Happy days :)
shiningsun2k
@AlicejustMay Oh yeah, I can definitely see where you'd get The Mission from it. Not all of his stuff is so '80s though. Some of it has a more melancholic, haunting Radiohead type vibe. HA! Thank you for the image of your past self putting away a bottle of Thunderbird and getting down to stuff like this. :D
SheRa
Never too late - hell I just got back on to read your comments...after being mad as hell about the fight...but i'll get over it..
shiningsun2k
@SheRa Ugh, I'm not pleased about the fight either. :/

@shiningsun Ur right a little DM...and other early '80's bands that discovered the marvels of the electronic keyboard, but with rocker vocals...I like:)

Really enjoyed this. :-)

Happy Birthday!!! ( Well, it's "Cinco de Mayo" here at the moment, anyway!) Will you be posting a new jam for your Birthday? If so, then I'll return & wish you Happy Birthday on your page all over again! :-)
bassscape
Yep, I like most things that have big thick creamy bass! Killer vibe to this track.
shiningsun2k
@colinflynn28 Yeah, I'm digging the '80s vibe happening in modern synth-based music these days. Glad you like!
shiningsun2k
@lesakramer5 Well said! There's a bit of an '80s synth wave revival happening and I don't mind one bit.
shiningsun2k
@yrmonster Excellent. Glad to hear it as always!
shiningsun2k
@debutch Thanks! I was toying with the idea of posting again on my birthday even though I try to wait six days, but it depends. There's a good chance I won't be home long enough to worry about it, but I still might upload a new userpic either way. :)

So, Happy Birthday! I hope you'll be out having a terrific time celebrating this week. Really great choice in jam...as always :-)
BladeRunner

shiningsun2k
@marissapicone Thank you, Marissa! You flatter me as always. :)
shiningsun2k
@BladeRunner Aw Thanks, Jess! I intend to do all of the above! :D

melissapulo
Happy birthday! Great new avatar! :-) Has @debutch now set a precedent of posting our picture on our birthday?! Such a trendsetter :-)
debutch
@shiningsun2k It's a great picture! Terrific! You look like a cross between a young Robert Mitchum & a young Jonathan Richman! Hey Girls!! ( @SheRa & @BladeRunner ) Have a look at this! ( You may need your smelling salts ! :-) )
debutch
@shiningsun2k ....It's funny but you're the exact opposite of how I imagined you!! ( student-looking type,... maybe with glasses with unkempt hair) .......not quite! haha!
shiningsun2k
@melissapulo Thanks! haha as I told @debutch, he issued the challenge and I got just enough booze in me to rise to the occasion. THE trendsetter. :D
shiningsun2k
@debutch Ha! I'm not young enough to be look too much like a student, but I do wear glasses and it's not unusual for the hair to grow into quite a "jewfro" before I clean it back up (I'm Jewish; I can't help it). I just don't often trust myself not to lose or damage my glasses at a concert if I were to wear them and I had a haircut recently. And OMG, you do NOT need to be calling the girls over!
melissapulo
@shiningsun2k You do actually remind me of someone (an actor) but can't think who yet. It'll come to me... :-) @debutch calm down now ;-)
shiningsun2k
@melissapulo Speaking of this new trend of @debutch's, when is YOUR birthday??? :D As far as actors, I never saw any of his movies, but multiple customers at a store I used to work at said I looked like Jim Caviezel.
shiningsun2k
@melissapulo HA! I just Google image search Mr. Caviezel, and all I see is a real life Ken Doll - definitely a stretch.
melissapulo
@shiningsun2k Hmm, not who I was thinking of, but can see where they are coming from. :-) My birthday is next month, but I have already posted me as a witch (my normal attire, before @sbrennan0161 and @debutch beat me to it :-)) at Halloween. :-)

@melissapulo @debutch And I missed it?! Unless I saw it and just forgot...Hmm. Haha maybe I'll use one of me dressed up as Annie Lennox from Sweet Dreams for Halloween a few years ago in the future. :)

@melissapulo I think you'll find that I changed my avatar to myself for my birthday back in February. Not stealing anyone's thunder, just saying I'm the OG. :-)
melissapulo
@sbrennan0161 Obviously not very memorable...:-)
sbrennan0161
@shiningsun2k A belated happy birthday to you. I actually see a bit of Vincent Cassell in you (of Oceans 11 fame) Apologies if this doesn't sit well. :-)
debutch
@shiningsun2k You saw @melissapulo s' 'witchy' avatar and then forgot it? ...I would say that that was MOST unlikely!! :-)
debutch
@shiningsun2k Mel @melissapulo told me that she's gonna upstage me by posting a new avatar of herself by a world famous portrait photographer giving it the glamour/soft focus treatment and then she'll treat us all to a video of her doing the Jitterbug with TIMJ s' finest dancer, Simon @sbrennan ....can't wait!.....btw, it's the 10th...put it in your diary.. ;-)

.....(mis-tag above @sbrennan0161 )
debutch
@melissapulo ...well, Simon @sbrennan0161 DOES have a point ( yours being on Halloween) You're going to have to follow his lead now for next month. btw, this is a tactful little 'nudge' for Jess @BladeRunner , whose Birthday is on Saturday! ....one last thing Mel, who does Simon look like? ( my imagination goes no further than his avatar! haha!) :-)
BladeRunner
@debutch nice try Butch, kkkkk but remember, I've alredy made an 'appearance', many months ago on my background? i haven't told nobody - true; i had a little maskie on - true : but it was me!
debutch
@BladeRunner Oh YES! I remember that! Oh well, you got away with it for this Saturday then! The mystique continues!..... :-)
BladeRunner
@debutch *giggling* Merci, monsieur ;)
shiningsun2k
@BladeRunner @debutch Haha oooh well played, Jess. :)
shiningsun2k
@sbrennan0161 I had to look him up, but yeah, I can totally see the Vincent Cassell resemblance - way more than Caviezel - and that sits just fine with me. :)
redheadx
Happy belated birthday! And now I drop out in disappointment hahaha. But seriously, it's nice to see a face behind the words :)
shiningsun2k
@redheadx Oh no! Come back! I promise I'll change my avatar to some inanimate object again! Haha Thanks, Marilyn!
melissapulo
@sbrennan0161 Ha, I actually have a bit of a thing for Vincent Cassel, but no, that wasn't who I was thinking of. It's annoying me! :-)
melissapulo
@debutch Well, I recall @sbrennan0161 telling me he was discussing the question at work, who would play you in a film (not actually you, but you know what I mean :-)). His team suggested that Tom Cruise would play Simon, but not sure if that was in reference to his stature or not, I couldn't say ;-)
shiningsun2k
@melissapulo HA! I love how you mercilessly dish out the abuse to everyone. :D
BladeRunner
@shiningsun2k thnx :) i have my "touché" moments!!! kkkkk (oh, and totally agree on the Cassel similarity) @melissapulo you're the best!!!!
melissapulo
@shiningsun2k Ha, not everyone, only my two nemeses @debutch and @sbrennan0161, it is merely self-defence, they are two to my one (but still not a full set of marbles between them) ... :-)
sbrennan0161
@melissapulo "My two nemeses"? Are you setting yourself up as some kind of evil Bond villain? How is abusing (unprompted) both @debutch and myself "self-defence" (and Dave was being very complimentary remember) Shame on you. :-)
sbrennan0161
@shiningsun2k As you missed it (or possibly tried to forget it) here's that witchy avatar again. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/11/17/article-2508794-1978732100000578-95_634x799.jpg

@sbrennan0161 Ha ha, touché, Tommy, touché, now you KNOW I had purple hair... :-) And you're right, @debutch is adorable, I've changed my mind, you are my one nemesis... :-)

@sbrennan0161 @melissapulo HA! Would you prefer to be called Blowfeld, Melissa? Or Dr. Evil? And the picture is magnificent! I in fact have not seen it before now. Thanks for that!
melissapulo
@shiningsun2k Ha, I am just checking that you know that the witch picture that Simon posted ISN'T actually me?!! :-)
sbrennan0161
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Prove me wrong then Pulo! :-)
melissapulo
@sbrennan0161 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCJMkDhhiX8 I was a wee girl when this was on. Watch and learn, Tommy, you'll be suffering the same fate as Croc for pulling this stunt... :-)
sbrennan0161
@melissapulo Are they filming you at work now? :-) By way of apology, and especially for @debutch here is an actual picture of myself with Melissa (on the right) with a couple of friends. Image from http://i.guim.co.uk/static/w-620/h--/q-95/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2013/6/27/1372347465092/Pollard-Forsyth-Cave-and--010.jpg.

shiningsun2k
@sbrennan0161 and has anyone old you you bear a striking resemblance to Nick Cave? It's uncanny!;)

duckish
Love this one!
shiningsun2k
@duckish Awesome! The whole album is pretty good, but that's definitely one of the best songs.
