A simple mistake.

So I made the following music mix CD and then took it to bed to have a listen while I drowsed.

Oops.

I will NEVER SLEEP AGAIN. Too much energy. So I'm wide awake again. Going to try to get some writing done for Sqrlgames soon, I have a bunch of Japanese GBA games that I need to screenshot and then figure out where to put the screenshots, because these games need to be SEEN to be believed, and then I need to continue with Chesty's Adventures.

You're a Dolby fan.

You're a Dolby fan!

YES! ANOTHER ONE! SOMEONE ELSE WHO WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN, when I quote things like "Shine across these waves and rescue me" or "...like an iron fist in a glove full of Vaseline."

Dip the fuse in the kerosene. :)

...Aaaaaaaaaaactually, no.

I do love what I've heard from Thomas Dolby, don't get me wrong.

But this includes only:
Blinded Me With Science
I Love You Goodbye
Hyperactive
... let's see, Little Light of Love is marked as by him AND Peter Gabriel...

...and... oh hell. What's it called. Magic Eye? Magic Waltz? The Big Book Of Pretty CGI Filmwork? scian_ashleyder, help me out, this is Your House. What's the name of those Thomas Dolby-music-backed videos that had me staring glassy-eyed in facination at your place?

...anyway. I am a protofan.

Ah, Gate to the Mind's Eye. Lovely visuals.

All right, here's your assignment. Locate and listen to the follow song tracks:

Europa and the Pirate Twins (his first single, brooding longing wistful Gothy synth piece)

Eastern Bloc (sequel to the above, ten years later, much less brooding)

Dissadents (outstanding good song)

I Scare Myself (a bluesy ballad, MOST unlike him!)

Field Work (preferably with the video)

Radio Silence (preferably the original version with just Dolby on vocals, not the later-released 'Dolby and some girl' version)

If you are in need, I have every one of his albums but one in MP3. I also have the rather fannish distinction of having been his online lover once or twice. MOST interesting man, that one. Currently the head of a music software firm in San Francisco, last I checked. Played a lovely little cold-and-clinical-but-smouldering-underneath-the-laboratory-drag sealpoint nekochan at the time.

wow O.o out of all that, the only one I reconize is They Might Be Giants. But Birdhouse in my soul is a better song IMHO... damn it, now i have that running through my head *pops in one of his CDs*

Oh wow, I recognize.. errr... 3 of those songs. I've become too mainstream for my own good! Does this mean I'll have to give up my membership to the Obscure Artist of the Month Club?
