Reach the Beach, 1983
Jul. 14th, 2003 05:19 pmA slow, uneventful afternoon--you'd never think a normal day could be so welcome.
I'm looking through my albums again, seeking candidates for "Favorites: 1977-1987", and came across Reach the Beach by the Fix. It is one of those that you can track all the way through and not come across a bad song. It also has the advantage of not having been played to death on "classic rock" radio stations.
This era is actually a lot more interesting to me than 66-76. I was out of the country for the first couple of years, which meant I wasn't listening to a lot of radio. Many of my music purchases were based on what the guy who owned the record store in Trier was listening to. I went to Europe with 75 albums and came back with over 500. It was a great time for music, if you overlook disco.
