Very good to hear from you. Glad you liked the article.

Other fans have shown me that there are things I did not account for here, but I’m not deterred. I love the album, and am proud of that. I cannot wait for the next: we know Sweet Dreams and Gallery are not yet released. A Handful of Darkness is going to be the next Lassie Come Home, and if they can put Fur Dich on as well, it would be quite amazing.

Peace and Best Wishes from the UK!

Lot of truth over here…
Lot of critics from fans, Marian Gold hasn’t been understood…

Personally, I just love the whole album, very catchy as you said.

Waiting for the next new album… 2012 I think, if everything will be OK from Alphaville.

Long life

Luis Mota

Twelve years really is an achievement. My LJ, if I still count that, is eight years old this summer. I struggle to read it back. Some of it evokes great pathos; some of it I cannot understand; and lots of it I am extremely embarrassed about. It’s like a collection of open wounds.

‘Sunday’ aside, I’m not a fan of Hurts. I’m disgruntled that they turn up with their dour pop and find fame, whilst the long-suffering Alphaville are so much better and yet will never breach the UK. What’s new? That’s the industry, I guess.

That’s a wonderful thought (re: music and memories). I used to archive music by month as it featured in my LJ ‘Current music’ for a similar effect. It’s only now that the balance between the personal and impersonal feels more comfortable that I’m adding music videos here to complement entries. Certainly, music made the New Year epilogue here one of the most fulfilling pieces I’ve ever written.

I am on Spotify, though little of my favourite music is. I’ll forward some along!

I’ve taken to telling people, quite proudly, that I’ve been blogging for twelve years. And I still have fragments of that first blog, buried deep on my hard drive. I read it and wonder, was the person who wrote it always going to grow into me?

Try as I might, I couldn’t quite get into Hurts. Maybe because “Wonderful Life” reminds me too much of Bristol. I think in many ways the music I’ve collected and the memories listening to it brings back is a more accurate and poignant diary than any words I’ve ever written.

Email me some music to check out – are you on Spotify?
