RE: So This is Real Life? (npc)

Glenna...

Been meaning to respond to this post.   So nice to find someone else who
remembers Ultravox and Magazine....two of my favorite bands from the
"post-punk" crowd (for lack of a better term).   I had the pleasure of
seeing them both perform, in small venues up close, although I didn't get to
see Magazine until after John McGeoch left for Siouxee and Robin Simon came
over from Ultravox. For years I kept a tape in the car with Real Life on one
side and Systems of Romance on the other.  I still listen to them.  I just
played Real Life for a friend the other day.
