  1. Hi,

    Just wanted to answer your comment on my blog. I have merged my scrapbook site and my regular blog and inlcuded layouts there for you to see. You said you were new to it and I hope you enjoy it. It’s a lot of fun to do and I have fantasies about my kids loving their books when they grow up. 🙂

    P.S. I’m not really THAT organized. 🙂

  4. to answer your question about why two sets of comments.
    Blogspot comments used to always malfunction, so I started using haloscan, but then some friends overseas complained they couldn’t access the haloscan, so I use both. Oh, and I’m a comment whore of course.
    😉

  12. In a way I’m surprised who many of these I reckonise as I was a true 80’s child (born Christmas 81) but oh my god does that bring back some memories. *runs away to find some 80’s music to listen too*

  16. Yes -I am still listening to them still too! (And TLC – Depeche Mode was on the list – but I could only have 13!! But I was never into Duran Duran. I know everyone else was, but I just never did.)

    Especially I still listen to 9-13 and REM and U2 are my favorite all time bands. I have seem them both in concert many times and I can’t get enough of them! Just love em.

    Thanks for all the great comments and I loved your TT’s too.

  33. I love the 80s. mostly that’s because I grew up then. But there’s no better music!

    My list’s up

  35. I was listening to U2 back then and John Cougar as well. Don’t think he was using Mellencamp at that time, lol. Happy TT!

  36. Yip, all sound familiar and great. And I have a really tenuous connection with Simple Minds – my Godmother (who is my third cousin) is first cousin to the guitairist Charlie Burchill.

    If that doesn’t make a celebrity, well I don’t know what does(!)

    Fun list.
    My TT is now up.

  45. That brought back great memories. I loved the Thompson Twins – when I was young I shaved my eyebrows off because of them. My TT is up.
