Our hero sits with head in hands and heart upon his sleeve

Since I was visiting the evil YouTube anyway and had lots & lots of time to kill (read: there were plenty of dishes for me to do while waiting for things to load on my poor, poor, pitiful dial-up connection), I decided it was time to look for the video to the very first song on the very first album I ever bought. So, for those of you who happen to be in the mood for some nifty synthpop (accompanied by '80s hair!), or if you're in the mood to find out what a hummingwolf listened to in the '80s, here you go: Dancing Girls.

And they dance for him inside his head...

BTW he was awfully pretty back then. *grins*
My first celebrity crush, I was completely in love with him at the age of 9. :))
And being who I am, I was in love with him because of his lyrics, of course...
Funny, I listened to I Wont Let THe Sun Go Down and some of those political lyrics are still valid, politicians just dont change do they? There's always a Thatcher or a Bush.

Have you ever tried using YouTube over a phone line?

Oh, the last NK album I got was To Be Frank. Now that I have a little extra money, I think I need the newest one!

It's from an album neither of us has yet, but have you read the lyrics to "Loud, Confident & Wrong"? Think Nik might have had someone specific in mind?

OMFG!! *laughs*

You think?? :D
Ahh, Nik. You never disappoint me with your lyrics. :)

Right, same here. :) I will eventually get it, when I can afford it.
Nik is one of the few artists I'd want to support with money... He's got his own label now, doesnt he?

Yes, I mean dial-up. If you ever try to watch YouTube using a 56K modem, you will understand that YouTube is Evil.

I guess it is his own label, since the new album appears to be available pretty much at his website.
