DAY 30
A song that reminds you of yourself

"Absolute" by Scritti Politti
https://youtu.be/L7Mk_JgesEM

Reminds me of teenage me, obsessively watching this video over & over with the friend from across the road (till her mum taped over that episode of Ready to Roll). I loved the song so much. The video had a Midsummer Night's Dream theme, but that was pretty tenuous - it mostly looked like a fun dance party for the band's mates.

@v_for_verbosity Great song. The whole of Cupid & Psyche 85 is great. One of my Top Ten albums of the 80s. :)

@Xas hmm, it probably would be for me too, if I thought about it

@v_for_verbosity I remember seeing Scritti Politti's The Return Of Durutti Column (the one with the sleeve made of sandpaper) in my local record shop when it came out. Great gimmick!

@jond hadn't heard of that one! Was it perhaps The Durutti Column's "The Return of the Durutti Column"?

@v_for_verbosity @v_for_verbosity [face palm] My life - you are absolutely correct and I am humiliatingly not. LOL 🤭
