Finally I do visit my hairdresser tomorrow, to cut of some of my hear. Unfortunately I wasn't able to visit them earlier because I was a bit ill. And then they had no time for me until tomorrow. It's always nice when it's in shape. And I also go visit a big recordstore as well in the center of my town. It's not a real store for dance music, but I like more then only dance music. Hopefully I will find something nice in the shelves.
Besides of 80s and 90s dance music I also collect twelve inch versions of 80s and 90s pop/disco/R&B classics. After classic series like Grand 12 inches by Ben Liebrand, and Dance Classics, I now follow a 12'' series on CD by Universal called 'Now 12'' 80s'. They started in 1980 and the next CD will be about 1986.
Long versions and remixes from that era were all remixed with outtakes of bands, and doesn't sound according to a plan/12 inch song structure. It was all done with tape recordings, cut those outtakes in pieces and then paste/glue all those parts on big tapes on a taperecorder into new versions with all kind of elements.
I think a lot of people couldn't imagine working without computers and programmes like Abbleton, Music Maker by Magic, Cubase, etc. But in that era it was very normal. And it costs more time and efforts than nowadays. Also the glueing of the tape pieces is very difficult without making mistakes or losing quality of the transitions.
I am searching at the moment for long versions of Simple Minds, Tears for Fears and some other New Wave bands. I saw the CD compilations already with some of the versions I want. I always listen on Youtube if the versions I hear, are usefull for my mixes. That's very important if I want to buy those CDs. And of course the quality of the sound.
I will tell you more very soon! I am now going to see a christmas movie, before I am going to sleep. See if my tooth will be melting again because of the much sugar which was used in the movie itself. Using Netflix, because I don't use it too much!

Hello everybody,
Finally I do visit my hairdresser tomorrow, to cut of some of my hear. Unfortunately I wasn't able to visit them earlier because I was a bit ill. And then they had no time for me until tomorrow.
