Posted May 18, 200718 yr http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v679/russy68/starterfor10st.jpg the ever-brilliant James McAvoy's latest movie Starter for 10, just out of the cinemas and on DVD already is about the trials and tribulations of University life in the 80s. Set during his first year at Bristol University, it comes complete with a stunning soundtrack.... check above - great or what?
May 18, 200718 yr good indeed..... the trouble is (and this applies to many retro progs/films) is that those tracks cover a ten year period! now things moved fast in the early 80's in particular, fashions changed rapidly . they should have picked tracks that were current only to his 3 years in uni. heartbeat is the worst offender for this.... 'oldies' or 'retro' just wasnt done, once the rock n roll era was over they didnt play those tracks... same with beat, psychedelia etc.. so it annoys the sh1t outa me when they play say.. adam faith, then the monkees! ... it never was like that!
