Article Response: C90Go No.4

This is a mighty fine article-I humbly think 1980-81 was the best years for pop music. For a real definitive selection from 1981, maybe could include Magazine, Felt, Girls at Our Best, The Scars, The Passage, The Associates (oh yes you chose one song, Ned) and Pale Fountains. You see I just love those pale fey boys with sad voices and soft guitars! I can pick up cheap records from this era and enjoy them immensely. I don't think its dated at all, in fact sounds fresh and perfectly modern.

For a real definitive selection from 1981

But I wasn't trying for one. ;-) Like I said, this was based in many ways on whim -- certainly I'm not arguing this is anything like definitive, neither would I claim to be able to make such a compilation.

Actually...I like the amusing goof I let slip at the end when I say "E- bay" guitar rather than "E-bow"! Just noticed that. What would E-bay guitar specifically sound like, I wonder? Would it play everything its past owners had done as you tried to use it?

the beast with six strings!!

E-bay guitar would probably be not all that it seems.

I love this article, if only because the compilation described has BOTH "Doubts Even Here" and "All Of This And Nothing" on it.

when C90 Go! was setup first, was it envisaged that people would only write about tapes/CDs they had themselves compiled?
