Til Tuesday...

Yesterday, I was suddenly reminded of an 80s era American new wave band I hadn't thought about in years.  I'm talking about 'Til Tuesday, fronted by Aimee Mann.  I think it was because "Voices Carry", a song about infidelity and hiding it, was featured on SingSnap yesterday.


Wow... this brings back memories...

As I listened to this old song from the middle of my adolescence, I was reminded of another one they did that I liked even more.


Aimee Mann was quite the sexpot in the 80s.

I'll admit I didn't pay a lot of attention to this Boston based new wave band when they were popular, but their music takes me back to high school every time.  High school wasn't a horrible time for me, but I've had better years.  I still like the music, though.  It makes me feel young.

Interesting that I'd think of them 30 years after they broke up...  I still think their songs sound great, even today.  Some bands age better than others.  Aimee Mann is now a solo artist.  I need to check out more of her work.  Hell, I didn't even know she grew up in Chesterfield County in Virginia, winding up in Boston because she briefly attended Berklee College of Music.  She's supposedly one of the best songwriters around.
