B-MOVIE "Forever Running"

Oops. Sorry I've been slacking. I really intend to post at least once a day. It's hard. I mean it only takes like 15 minutes for an entry, but I totally understand how people are fueled by comments or feedback.

It's starting to become very obvious to me that the majority of the vinyl I own came out between 1976 and 1988. I guess that makes sense, being the formative years for me. I'm also realizing I'm a very big pussy. I'm looking forward to the new Scritti Politti record. I like guys who sing like girls. I've just realized that Grandaddy are my favorite band of the last 5 years. I also like that fake romantic crap. Early Spandau Ballet, the Associates, sigh. Maybe that's why I took to B-Movie in high school.

B-Movie, not unlike, Scritti Politti, went from experimental and respected art school indie rock band, to high gloss over produced pop band. Hmmm. I seem to have no problem with that. Forever Running was, from what I know, their only US release. It was on Sire and came out in 1985. The formula for making me plunk down my money, Sire + 80s = me needs it. No idea where I got this, maybe Camelot Music in the Ocean County Mall, but I did pay full price, whatever that was in 1986.

B-Movie's big underground hit, their I Melt With You, was Nowhere Girl. You may have heard it. It's pretty solid, even in its primitive 12 inch form. It's re-recorded on Forever Running, but I'm omitting it here. I have included two of my fave tracks, I dunno, they just stuck with me all these years, though the production is hard to swallow sometimes. For good measure, I've also added B-Movie's rare US 12 inch for "A Letter From Afar". Hope you like. I'm going to dig up all my sweater vests and donate them to Goodwill now....
