The Wabac Machine

It's 1995 and I am 19 years old.  I've gone with my roommates and friends to The Connection, Nashville's largest gay bar (I learned later that it had the largest dance floor across the country).  We watched the drag show and I was in awe, The Face and Grace of Stephanie Welles, The Pantomime Rage, Bianca Page (R.I.P), The Body Beautiful, Austria Andrews, The Original, Rita Ross and The Politically Correct Sex Kitten, That Girl all took the stage and performed their hearts out in every number.  Those bitches worked for their money.  After the first show was over, we headed toward the doors that separated the show bar from the dance bar and pushing forward with the crowd, my friend Rikke grabbed my hand spun at me and said, "This is my song!!!!  Let's go!" and we pushed through the crowd even harder.  Arriving dead center of the dance floor, we danced like we ruled the joint for 3 minutes and 11 seconds all thanks to the amazing Tatjana.  And without further adieu, I give you Santa Maria.  This will always be mine and Rikke's song.  At least for those memorable 3 minutes.

Hurts - Happiness (Track by Track)

I don't know a whole lot about Hurts aside from what I learned from their wikipedia page. I know they are a British synthpop duo from Richmond North Yorkshire composed of singer Theo Hutchcraft and synth player Adam Anderson. Apparently there was a band at one point in time called Daggers where some of these songs are recycled from but because I never heard them as Daggers, they are brand new to me. The music is very moody and melodic and is perfect for an Sunday afternoon in.

I'm still here

Hey guys and gals. I'm still here. Just been getting back into the swing of things after Dragon*Con and the school starting. I'll post something real soon. In the meantime, take a peek at this amazing song/video from Hurts. I know I've posted it before but they've just released their album and this song is totally ruling my life right now.
