Of course, Hell is German, so maybe they're more Alphaville, eh? Yeah, look, there's Johnnie and Brent and Darien in the picture!Ĭue 'Forever Young' here, cause that's how I feel now, baby!Īnd you can't tell me Heaven Sent sounds nothing like that, because there is really surprisingly little about music in these books about rock stars. (And I am pretty fucking sure they actually wear these outfits at some point in the book, too). So when this books opens in an Italian nightclub with a concert by a guy with 5 Casios, I'm thinking: "It's Howard Jones in an Italian disco!"Īnd then he joins a band, so now he is Nick Rhodes!Īnd Heaven Sent has turned into Duran Duran (Roger Taylor all the way, Bitches)! Serious discussions were held in music magazines about how the Casio would replace all other instruments eventually. We had one radiostation that played popular music in the 80s and of course, before we were all saved by alt rock and grunge, every single fucking song I listened to had synthesizers in them. In Europe, whose popular musical style during the 80s is commonly referred to as 'Euro-pop' or 'synthpop'. This someone obviously does not share my personal history, since I was clearly born at the wrong time and the wrong place to appreciate "the cherub". Someone, at some point, recommended this book as having a fun femme MC.
