Elevator Gothic

OK. This is weird. I'm on hold with Telus and listening to an elevator music piano rendition of "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure

I remember that

I have an order form on the dust sleeve of my "Are We Not Men?" album that lists that Musak tape amongst the other Devo merchandise. Somehow I don't think the pricing would be valid anymore ;-)

Up until just four years ago I used to have a Tiajuana Brass 8-track kicking around. My old amp that I got for $5 at VV Boutique had an 8-track player built in (thus the cheap price - it was a perfectly good 50-watt amp/tuner unit but was "unsellable" because of the 8-track). Just because I could, I would make the occassional run down to the skid-row pawn-shops and pick up absurd 8-tracks for, litterally, nickles and dimes.

i knew a friend of a friend who actually ordered that...it was also on the sleeve of "new traditionalists"...i always wanted to order some of that stuff...that is cool...the best 8 tracks my friend used to have:

alice cooper - "goes to hell"
t. rex - "electric warrior"
ted nugent - "scream dream"...

Hmmm. I have the "New Traditionalists" album, perhaps I've gotten my albums confused.

My best 8-track was The Village People, "Go West". It had "In the Navy" on it and changed tracks right in the middle of the song. Absolutely classic.
