sat8997 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Can we go back in time for music? I have this irrisistible urge to see if Jeremy can find the perfect spot for the B52's 'Rock Lobster'. Link to comment

methodwriter85 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) And here's Chapter 12- -When Robbie gets to Escorial, and the boys go skinny dipping "Let the Good Times Roll" by The Cars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDVMCqWVLNo -For the shopping trip scene to Stanford Fashion Plaza "Fashion" by David Bowie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnoYNMLwuEU -When Brad tries to "convince" Robbie to stay. "Refugee" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6g1c2V3UG8 If we're talking themes of the early 80's, I think "Fashion" by David Bowie is a great one. That was during the whole Calvin Klein/Gloria Vanderbilt/La Coste craze, right? Edited January 9, 2009 by methodwriter85 Link to comment
Dolores Esteban Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Don't forget Billy Idol. Link to comment
methodwriter85 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah, but he doesn't really come into play until 1981/1982. Same with Duran Duran, which I'm hoping like hell I can use. Link to comment

methodwriter85 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) Yeah, but again, if it's an 1985 song, I can't use it. I'm a history major in college so I've learned to be against anachronistic song uses. I've got to remain faithful to the 1980 time frame. Edited January 10, 2009 by methodwriter85 Link to comment
methodwriter85 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) Chapter 13 Musical Recomendations -When JP tells Robbie about Jeff, and breaks down. "Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie I've been WAITING to use this one, prolly one of my favorite tracks from 1980. I thought it fit pretty well with the JP/Robbie/Brad scene. -When Brad talks to Doug and kicks him out "Beat on the Brat" by the Ramones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ9YrvyRC28 -When Brad finds Jake and Robbie having sex "Need Your Loving Tonight" by Queen Edited January 27, 2009 by methodwriter85 Link to comment

Conner Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Chapter 13 was superb. My fave so far. I particularly enjoyed the scene between JP, Brad and Robbie. The shower scene with Brad and Jake deserves an honourable mention. Conner Link to comment

methodwriter85 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 *shrugs* Dunno. I've had a couple of dates in my life, but so far it's all been hookups. No one wants to be serious when you're in college, especially gay guys, so...there you go. Link to comment
amBIguoustwo Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Mark, B Rad is your finest work so far, and each chapter is better than the one before. And the whole thing with Jan will be burned in my mind forever. In an earlier message, IRCC, I thought I wanted to be Brad. When he got the car, there was no doubt. Bryan Link to comment

Bryan Who wouldn't want to be a hot young 17 year old guy with a Ferrari? Screw that, at 45, I'd settle for being a poor, fat 17 year old. Or maybe 19. That's a better age.

amBIguoustwo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Mark, Another fantastic chapter. I can't believe where the characters are taking this story. As always, thanks for writing. Bryan Link to comment

Mark Arbour Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks to both of you. I'm surging along with writing, but have some re-writes to do on 20 and 21. My editor pointed out some of my flawed logic. Sharon is indeed very wise. Link to comment

amBIguoustwo Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Just started Chapter 17 and I had to post about this line "We screamed over the mountain at Sunol then down into Milipitas. What kind of name was that anyway?" Mark, you stories are just full of these details that make it so real for me. EVERY teen aged boy (girls, too?) has/would have that reaction. Every teen aged boy at heart would have that reaction. I had it the first time I saw the sign for the exit. Thanks. Bryan Link to comment
methodwriter85 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks. I did like that movie, only seen it once or twice. I'm a sucker for time travel movies. And coincidentally, I was born on Pearl Harbour Day as well as my grandfather, so yeah. LOL. Here are my chapter 17 recomendations: -When Brad and Robbie drive back, only talking at intersections. "Drive All Night" by Bruce Springsteen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW4Fu0Lk23c Warning: This is a 10-minute version of the song from a concert in 1980. If you don't like the Boss, well... -When Brad and Robbie have sex, and Brad tells them they'll be a couple someday. "Wait For Me" by Hall & Oates http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLRHjcqY5bY -When Lark and Brad sleep together. "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" by Journey ****** I'd never heard of that particular H&O song, "Wait For Me". What a nice little gem! And pretty relevant to the scene I picked for it, don't you think?

Jeremy, You need to work on your cut and paste skills. This is the post you made in the Yahoo Group so no one knows what you're talking about regarding the movie. For the rest of you, Jeremy is referring to the movie "The Final Countdown." It's about an aircraft carrier (the USS Nimitz, I believe) that goes through some sort of temporal disturbance and ends up in 1941. December 6th to be specific. I liked it, although if memory serves, there were not great acting performances. Worth watching. Link to comment
methodwriter85 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Boy, is my face red. Anyways, just hope you guys enjoyed the selections. I'm really liking "Wait For Me", as I said before. Link to comment
