I heard Thompson Twins before I looked at the comments section. Pure 80's, and awesome!

I can hear the Thompson Twins in there. Knew it before I even checked. Loved them in the eighties! |

The term "crusty" refers to 'dog-on-a-rope' types whom you often see at festivals, peace camps, etc. Chambers defines it as; crustie or crusty noun ( crusties) Brit slang a New-Age traveller or someone with a similar outlook on life. Which sums it up nicely, I think. I think the term derived from the 'relaxed' approach to personal hygiene such that they often had a crust of dirt on them, though maybe it could refer to their 'crusty' attitudes. |

Anyway. . . I always loved the reactionary side of the 'tribe' and what it stood for - which at its core was for free music, free from authority and free to party.
There is a whole new set of 'crusties' out there loving their gabba, D&B and whatever 'fast white noise' is the current trend and having a fine old time. While I usually can't stand the music they like for long I do applaud their genre for trying to break new ground and push boundries.

I have this on the media player in my living room and it's still one of my favorite albums to jack up while doing housework or any other time I need a vibe and a groove to make things happen.

after reading about them they seem like such good people—-i feel the same way about Eddie Vedder, he just seems so sweet I dont feel like being bitchy about hearing Pearl Jam all the damn time.

I don't remember what i was thinking—-but i think i may have been talking about the Thompson Twins when i wrote this . I liked the way they looked, but not their music. |
