I was a big fan of Belinda Carlisle in the late 80s and 90s...I was just a bit too young to remember her from her Go Go's days. Heaven is a Place on Earth, Summer Rain, La Luna, Live Your Life Be Free, and many more, are songs I daresay I still enjoy: good, fun songs.
I saw a new album, a French-langauge one, of hers out in the music shop on the weekend: Voila. Despite my level of French being several rungs below terrible, I am enjoying it: a very different sound and a very entertaining and addictive one. She has taken 11 classic songs and recorded them with a modern feel. It's on constant play on my car CD player.
[and, regarding the election: tax cuts!; I didn't think they'd bring it up this early, and I do not understand why people are so hungry for a few extra dollars all the time, while services I'd consider essential continue to be cut or sold off to private enterprise; and why people ignore other issues [refugees/Aborigines] for what I consider 'thirty pieces of silver']
