Nostalgia or A Bit Misty Eyed

So, I was reading a friend's blog recently, and in a post from 25 March, he talks about the music group The Motors from the late 70's. Ah yes, The Motors. This sort of sparked a memory. Now, I don't know much about the band, their history, or their discography, but I do know that I liked what I heard Chas playing on his show, Chas'Crusty Old Wave, back in the day on the local college station here, WPRK. I remember Diane, a friend of his and also another dj with the station, would periodically pop in and join us for the show. She always wanted to hear him to play The Motors, and it was no twist of the arm to get him to pull out the ol' vinyl. He'd often make a crack to the young kids (those punk kids) out there like me. Hearing the hearing the snap, crackle and pop sounds of the vinyl spinning away on the turntable just put Chas into such bliss. Anyhow, I've lost my train of thought. Oh yes, anyhow, I was reminded of a group that I liked and thought to myself that I need to hear more of this group. I get the same feeling listening to songs from this band (like 'Airport') that I do when I listen to tracks from "The Age of Plastic" by The Buggles. It is almost the same feeling I get once sufficiently stuffed with yummy sushi. Especially from Fuji. *drools* Getting off topic again. Oh, well, I guess that is all I really wanted to write.
