Nice early 80s pop song.

Another solid rock song from a Canadian group.



315. One Way or Another - Blondie
Second hit from them I heard. Cemented my decision to buy the Parallel Lines cassette. Good album.

Catchy and kinda fun but yeah the stalking element is creepy, especially since she wrote it about being stalked herself (but from the point of view of her stalker).
Crazy. I thought she was turning the tables on the traditional situation. I always thought she was the stalker, not the stalkee.
Well, this is 2020. Women can be stalkers too.

Just ask Adam Ant!

Then in 1989, following a move to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, he found himself pursued by a stalker, Ruth Marie Torres, whose erratic behaviour - poisoning his fish pond, trying to kill his dogs, shouting obscenities while naked in the street outside his house - sent Ant over the edge

Not the fish!!
Psycho.

There’s the whole Fatal Attraction thing too, but it’s a bit more fun to picture Debbie wandering around the supermarket in sunglasses and whatnot.

314. Love is the Answer - England Dan & John Ford Coley
A soft piece from 1979. I love the melody.



313. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
A disco staple from 1979.



312. 99 Red Balloons - Nena
This one is the English version of the song you almost always hear in German. The German one is ok. The English is better.

311. You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones
A song which my son hates because I used it frequently in response for his requests for stuff as a kid.



310. Hot Child In The City - NIck Gilder
I like all he has done. Good song.



309. Band On The Run - Paul McCartney & Wings
Another good song.

I'm not a big Stones fan by any means, but that one tends to hit the right spot from time to time.
310. Hot Child In The City - NIck Gilder
I like all he has done. Good song.

309. Band On The Run - Paul McCartney & Wings
Another good song.
I've always liked both of those songs.

308. Tide Is High - Blondie
Funky beat. Very catchy.



307. Cruel to Be Kind - Nick Lowe
The video has this from an album "The New Best of Nick Lowe". Is that not just this one song? But he had an old best too? Is that cruel enough to be kind? It is a great song from 1979.



306. All of My Heart - ABC
I loved ABC. Pure pop silliness. This album "The Lexicon of Love" took sentences from each song and made a story on the album liner. You lose something with CDs and even more with iTunes.

As a bonus today, here are tomorrows tracks. Tomorrow is a travel day so not sure if I will get a chance to post. I will try to keep up the 424 from Saskatoon on my dad's computer. Taking the next week's list with me.

305. Run-Around - Blues Traveler
Fun little song.



304. Soul Man - The Blues Brothers
My first exposure to blues. I liked it.



303. Heart of Glass - Blondie
My favourite Blondie song.

305. Run-Around - Blues Traveler

Overplayed but still awesome. That harmonica blows me away.

303. Heart of Glass - Blondie

I was in the grocery store a week or two ago and this came out. Wondered if they'd edit out 'ass'. They didn't. *shrug*
