What’s up Sorry State readers? It feels like it’s been AGES since my last write up. It’s been a busy summer here. I just got back from a nice trip to Seattle to visit my dad and got some good eating and hiking in while I was there, and then headed over to Boulder, Colorado for my best friend’s wedding, which was a blast. Oh yeah, and the Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup, which was pretty fucking awesome. Now we’ve got the World Cup going on here in the US. I’ve never been a huge soccer guy, but I’ve gotten sucked into this tournament and have been watching and keeping up and it’s been pretty damn entertaining. I hope everyone reading has found some ways to enjoy this summer. Okay, now to the music. For some reason, the last month or two I’ve been on a big 80s kick. Not really sure why, but I found myself gravitating to a lot of stuff from that era. OMD, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Go-Go’s, you get the picture. Recently, we got a beautiful older pressing of New Order’s Low-Life that I decided to treat myself to. I had been listening to the song The Perfect Kiss a bunch after I watched Marty Supreme earlier this year cause it was featured in a cool ass montage scene in the movie. I love the frog noises in it; they just blend in so well and sound so cool. The last week or two ,though, I’ve had Sooner Than You Think stuck in my head. Probably the most dance friendly song on the album, just a total banger. I think I just really love synths honestly. That’s all for this week, but if anyone has any cool ass 80s albums that kinda fly under the radar, send em my way cause that’s an era I definitely need to explore more.
