OK--this is the song you MUST download. The tune you'll kick yourself for not downloading. This is the studio version of The Schemers tune "I Want Some Fun". I've shared the live version in the past and after years of trying to reaquire the studio version, I finally have it. (Thanks Kevin , if your out there!!!) The Schemers were a local R.I. kickass band in the 80's that always put on a great show!

King - 2 M.B.
http://s27.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3NOY ... N5KBO3I9OV

I don't know why but I absolutely loved this song back in high school. I also have no idea what the song is about. I had such high hopes for King. Next thing I know Paul King cuts his hair (he had such a cool mullet back then) and puts out a crappy solo cd. That was the end.

Oh well...this is a great song.

@randy; "Newsflash"-Translation:

Original German Text:
In den letzten Monaten ist die Zahl der vermißten Personen dramatisch angestiegen. Die jüngste Veröffentlichung der lokalen Polizeibehörde berichtet von einem weiteren tragischen Fall. Es handelt sich um ein neunzehnjähriges Mädchen, das zuletzt vor vierzehn Tagen gesehen wurde. Die Polizei schließt die Möglichkeit nicht aus, dass es sich hier um ein Verbrechen handelt.

Translation ( as far as I'm able to:-):
In the last few months the number of missing persons rose dramatically. The latest publications of the local police station report another tragic case. It's about a nineteen year old girl that last time has been seen 14 days ago. The police doesn't exclude the possibility of a crime.

Seeing 2Nu post a song by the Bodeans reminded me of this one by E-I-E-I-O, a staple in the Madison, Wisconsin club scene in the mid-80s.

Dan, if Ramdy doesn't get back to you, you can just use any of the tools on this page to convert wma files to mp3.

Thanks for the info, but none of those programs work with a Mac. Do any PC owners have one of the WMA to mp3 programs and can convert it please? Thanks.

"Future Brain" by Den Harrow.

Okay, before you dismiss this Italo Disco track, really listen to the lyrics. Really. They are stranger than a Village People song. Well, almost.

Italian male model Den Harrow - who took his pseudonym from "dinero" - is singing to a computer in some kind of dystopian future that has taken control of mating and reproduction or something. There's a chorus of backup singers going "whoa-ah whoa-ah" in the background. D.H. actually flat out calls the computer stupid and soulless.

And this is a 12" dance single.

If only there had been a music video! It would have put "Wild Boys" to shame.

I'm sort of picturing one of those Star Trek scenarios where Captain Kirk outwits a supercomputer at the end of the episode with a speech that causes it to explode.

In fact, what I wouldn't give to hear William Shatner recite "Future Brain."

"Future. Brain. You... Make. Me.... Wonder!"

"Drum Machines Have No Soul" - isn't that the point?
