No one sympathises,
You just stay home and play synthesizers"

Exquisitely observed Pet Shop Boys parody from "Flight of The Conchords"

It Never Happens To Me...

"Love's just a door that's locked and there's no key"




The Assembly

Dance Away...

"Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
Now i´m in the dark, off the wall"
...
"Now I know I must walk the line
Until I find an open door
There was I - many times a fool
I hope and pray, but not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough"

Hypnotic...

OK, Italo fans... I know I haven't posted anything for a while, but hopefully this will make up for that sad fact...

Here for your delectation and amusement is one of my current favourite Italo tracks... it's kind of understated, but it combines the melancholy and frothy synth-pop that is critical in music of this kind. I love it!


...of course, the German introduction certainly adds a certain air to the proceedings...
