You forgot about them all, didn't you? They asked you not to do that.

Was it something I said? Or something you read?

BKITU: You forgot about them all, didn't you? They asked you not to do that.

Yes, I forgot about them.

/and then I walked away.

Oh, I enjoyed the light-hearted romantic ditties of OMD, like Maid of Orleans and Enola Gay.

I'd like to see Oingo Boingo

I'd like to see an "Urgh! A Music War" reunion.

I'd settle for a DVD.

I promised you a miracle, and here it is.

/hope they come to Chicago

How bizarre.

/shiat, that's OMC

Not a bad pairing, but I'd have to see a Simple Minds setlist before I bought tickets. If it was mostly the stuff up to and including Sparkle in the Rain, I'd go; after that, not. I saw them in 1985 promoting SITR and they were a great live band; a hit single or two later and in 1987 they kinda sucked. No, Jim Kerr, you were never going to be as big as U2, ever, you should have never tried to be.

/OMD: The Singles is a terrific CD too

WANT!!!

/also want Hughes to release a Ferris Bueller's Day Off soundtrack, some of those songs are impossible to find

OMD??

The closest I've ever gotten to the "official" soundtrack came courtesy of my uncle, who works at Wrigley. The did a "Ferris Bueller Day" years ago, and one of the radio stations in Chicago (Q101, maybe?) released a special soundtrack, complete with soundbites and Sigue Sigue Sputnik. I have a burnt copy in my collection; it's one of my favorite discs.

But Klaus Nomi is dead.

/toooootal eclipse!

Messages from OMD is one of their best.

OMD was the consolation prize in NYC when Ian Curtis offed himself, negating the possibility of seeing Joy Division. Meh. (Okay, I did like Enola Gay.) On the bright side, though, I did see Sun Ra, Johnny Thunders and Henry Kaiser that week, so it wasn't a complete waste.

The acts varied from city to city; Nomi was not in the shows I saw in Santa Monica. Rounding up enough of the original bands could probably be doable, and would be the concert tour of the decade (IMHO).

I didn't know it was a tour, I just thought it was various acts being filmed (I was 14 in 1981 so it's not like I could have gone to see shows anyway). A New Wave reunion tour, though? I know it'd make money but being a child of the eighties and having gone to see bands I liked then in recent years it's a depressing experience. To see a fat balding fifty-something guy trying to recreate his youth ... yikes.
