Comments on: 10 Random Favorite Songs https://www.robohara.com/?p=8498 The Adventures of Rob, Susan, Mason and Morgan O'Hara Fri, 14 Oct 2016 18:40:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: John https://www.robohara.com/?p=8498#comment-7575 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 18:40:40 +0000 http://www.robohara.com/?p=8498#comment-7575 Hey Rob,

Hard to pick a Top Ten, but I loved Men at Work when I was a teen, and I wore out my Cassette of Business as Usual and had to buy another one! All this prior to the invention of the CD! I too love OVERKILL and have yet to see Colin Hay Live, although it is on my bucket list. My favorite bands from the 80’s are Depeche Mode, OMD, Duran Duran, Psychedelic Furs, Thompson Twins, Alphaville, and many more. I love all of the John Hughes movies of my youth, and many times his movies influenced my opinion on music.

I realize life has gotten pretty busy for you lately, but hoping for some more podcasts soon from YDKF or SpriteCastle! Love the way you tell your stories. Take care.

John

We wound up forming a “band” (we never actually played live, we just holed up in my extremely primitive home studio and recorded tapes that we’d sell for next to nothing around school – whoooo, we released an album!) that would give you no idea that we’d gotten our inspiration from such great material. Over the course of that year, I finally convinced him that ELO had merit, and he convinced me that Depeche Mode and Erasure had just as much merit. If we got nothing else out of it, we kind of traded genres. Then he graduated, the “band” continued with me and the third guy involved, and only then did I actually start writing some real songs. I ran into him again in late 2014 when we were both IT contractors working on the same project…sadly, the fleeting mentions of “hey, we should get together and come up with new material” kinda fizzled. Different people now and all.

Anyway, that’s the memory triggered by the Cure there. Ghosts appear and fade away.
