Wild Planet


The first album I ever spent money on, when I was a teen or pre-teen, was the B52s Wild Planet. What an album. As Kate Pierson said in an interview not long ago, they were just a 'tacky little dance band from Georgia'. BUT, the world NEEDS tacky little dance bands, maybe now more than ever. I may put up 'Private Idaho' every day for tunes of the day, I love it so. What a fantastic video.
Dreamt myuncle was a mobster and I was in training to take it up as a career. probably pays well.

Gorthos, what were you thinking? I do have to admit that Village People have become a cult classic with some people...
