You know they are actual living breathing pirates in the bible ?!? Seriously go check it out, it's in the Book Of Acts, the sequel to the Gospel Of Luke. Like seriously, you wonder why people like me (who don't have deep secret need to cling to supposed security and comfortability that organised crap like religion provides) refuses to believe in bible there you go, Pirates ! Ahoy Matey, Merry Xmas...

everything changed after "Sign O' the Times" came out
cosmic shift , whatever you want to call it
life was never the same after I heard this record
and
I get James Brown, Sly Stone and Funkadelic from here.
so I say '87 was pretty important for me.
the next year I will have a Bass Guitar but it wouldn't have occurred without Prince.
It was around this time that
It was around this time that I was being taught that New Zealand music sucked. I wasn't directly told that, but it was implied because there was virtually no NZ music on mainstream radio, and mainstream radio was pretty much the only thing available. Major exceptions to this rule were Split Enz, who were still getting the odd song on the air now and then, and Dave Dobbyn. It wasn't until years later that I found out I could have been listening to Chris Knox, the Chills, Hello Sailor, the Headless Chickens and so many others.
Strangely, it was at this time that I got into old 1950s rock'n'roll through some tapes I found lying around the house. It was a short-lived infatuation, but fun while it lasted--Elvis, Carl Perkins, Bill Haley...

I remember the snare sound
I remember the snare sound on The Game of Love used to really annoy me.
Elsewhere... Why "Tex Pistol"? Why not "Ian Morris"?
Same man behind Gutter

the Straightjacket Fits supported the Jesus and Mary Chain at the Theater Royal
it might have been '88, I can't remember

Shriekback might have been that year too
it is sobering to think of such vital times being relegated in the brain banks
