Videolog: Boys Do Fall in Love


Robin Gibb
Boys Do Fall in Love, 1984.

Among other things, this song (along with the two additional videos you’ll see in the next couple of days) always reminds me of being in the original Weekends on Peachtree Street in Atlanta one very strange weekend in the summer of 1984.

Videolog: The Love Cats


The Cure
The Lovecats, 1984.

Second of three videos that always remind me of the original Weekends nightclub in Atlanta and a strange weekend spent adjacent to it in 1984.

Videolog: She Bop


Cyndi Lauper
She Bop, 1984.

Third of three (1,2) videos that always remind me of the original Weekends nightclub in Atlanta and a strange weekend spent adjacent to it in 1984.

Cool photo

I was scanning some old photos today and I found this one. I just thought it was kind of cool, what with the reflection and the fact that it has that whole mid-1960s muted color pallette, like an ad in Life Magazine or a movie about suburban housewives.

I assume my dad took it with the trusty Instamatic. I’ll have to ask him.

Videolog: Blow Away


George Harrison
Blow Away, 1979.

Why did all the good Beatles have to die, leaving only the, ummm, les interesting ones to carry on?

Videolog: Weirdo


Charlatans
Weirdo, 1992.

The fact that this song was relatively popular at the time is a good indicator of why 1992 may have been my favorite year in the history of pop music. This particular video is also interesting because it’s not the version MTV usually played.
