“Love” in The 80s

Monday, August 16th, 2010

I really have to figure out what I’m going to do with my old site. But before I do that I want to make sure everyone updates their links. So if you have/know anyone who does link to this blog, make sure their links are updated! Does anyone know if I’m still showing up on The Hype Machine? I haven’t bothered to figure that out yet.

Moving sucks, even in a virtual space.

If anyone on the planet can tell me what the fuck “Love Like Blood” is about, or what the singular phrase “Love Like Blood” means, I will be eternally grateful and reward them with cookies. I love this damn song, but i cannot for the life of me figure out what the hell it’s about. I’m assuming the overall message of the song is “love is a motherfucker” but any independent corroboration of that theory would be much appreciated. Both of these “versions” are from the 12” single of “Love Like Blood.”

And if anyone can prove to me that “Love Train” isn’t about dick, then you also get a cookie. Because when the lead singer of Frankie Goes To Hollywood sings “Riding the love train/stroke it up”  (I don’t care what the name of the 7” mix is, he’s saying “stroke’ not “stoke”) I think we all know what he’s talking about. These tracks are from the 12” of “Love Train.”
