It's Sunday and I thought we'd spend it with an old crush of mine, Julian Lennon, circa 1984. Did it get any better than Julian's "Much Too Late For Goodbyes?" No, it did not. I still love that song, it's such a fun, catchy song and Julian's voice is perfect. "Valotte" is just a wonderful song. I rediscovered it when I was in college when I picked up Volume 10 of the "Rock of the 80's" tape set in a discount bin (that tape also included "Something About You" by Level 42, "Breakout" by Swing Out Sister, and "Veronica" by the one and only Elvis Costello). After finding that diamond in the rough, I set out to collect all 15 tapes — and man, that was a quest that rivaled finding the Holy Grail (oh, yes, I found them all, by the way). Of course now it's available on Amazon, but I found a listing for you of all the tracks to build up your 80's iPod playlist. You do have an 80's playlist, right? Good. Oh, and shut up — Volume 7 features "Girl in Trouble (it's a temporary thing)" by Romeo Void, which is just about the best song title ever and I intend on stealing for the title of my yet to be written memoirs.
What was I writing about before that ADHD moment? Julian Lennon. Rumor is he has finished an album, Everything Changes, to be released this year and his website is currently under construction, so maybe an older Julian will return to the music scene with some good stuff soon. I certainly hope so.
Here is the video for "Much Too Late For Goodbyes," with Julian sporting some bad hair and because YouTube doesn't have the "Valotte" video we'll have to make due with the mp3. How are y'all liking the Goear clips? I think the quality is nice and I'm impressed with the variety of music I've found there. On with the tunes…
