That's nice! I think that FY version never made it to the Mexican radio. :D


@Peter: 10 points!

On TV last night. BBC two documentary about the 80s. They played Big in Japan and then a small bit of Forever Young. Almost distracted me from the politics of the thing.

Last Friday, BIJ on the car radio while crossing the border between Bulgaria and Romania on the Danube Bridge.

Okay, I think the most unusual time was the first time I heard Alphaville. I was an art student and did not listen to the radio much. I had a casette tapes, but my phsse at that stage was mostly opera, a bit of Lena Lovich and a few others, I'll had on cassette. Then I met a friend, his name was Miias. He was utterly devoted to me. He made me new cassetes and brought back some golden memories, Yasoo, for one. End 1984 I was admitted to hospital. Mias made me a cassette of the first album of AV. I loved it. I thought Marians voice was somehow much like the sidereal equator.

@Karla: At least you have some good memories to compensate for the bad ones in hospital.

Hanging out with the drummer for Duran Duran (at the time) in Tokyo and listening to Big in Japan?

Will try.

Sitting in a hotel bar with Marian when the DJ puts BIJ on?
