Just can't wait for tonight's new "Castle"!!!! Jane Seymour and Corbin Bernsen are among this episode's guest stars...it sounds like it's going to be great!!

Plus, this week's EW has a great article on Nathan Fillion:

Control was one of my favorite albums in the 80s and I especially loved the hit single, "When I Think of You." It's such a sweet song and the video that goes with it just the right touch!! Can't believe how innocent and genuinely happy it seems:

I love the way her boyfriend pops in beside her when she's looking in the mirror and thinking of him and wherever she goes, he always seems to be right with her (but not in a creepy kind of way.)

Great dancing and great feeling and an 80s video that actually seems to go with the song!:)

Another album I missed when it first came out and just discovered is Pure by The Primitives. I like it! It mixes the prettiness of 60s girl group sounds with the angst and quiet anger of  late 80s British pop.

Tracy Fey writes on the allmusic.com website: On "Shine," "All the Way Down," and "I Almost Touched You," guitarist P.J. Court takes over lead vocals, and the band explores a more psychedelic-influenced sound that wouldn't seem out of place on a Stone Roses album.

Laura Warholic...

I've only just started reading this very lengthy book, but so far I am intrigued and can't put it down...discovered it when I was browsing in store at Daedalus Books the other day (you can always find the quirkiest things there!)

Okay, this may be embarrassing to admit, but I just bought the song "Island Fever" by Jack Wagner and am thinking about my old cassette copy of the All I Need album and wondering if I still own it.

Seriously! The dude wasn't half that bad a singer back in the 80s. I used to own all three of his albums (All I Need, Lighting Up The Night, and Don't Give Up Your Day Job.)

I always liked "Island Fever" because its haunting, hi-tech (for that time!) sound really appealed to me and at the same time actually struck me as a bit creepy. And all these years later, I still think it sounds pretty good...almost up there in quality with that "other soap singer," Rick Springield.

Jack Wagner recently appeared on an episode of "Hot In Cleveland" and he's aged very well. I don't know why, exactly, but I've always sort of thought he seems like a nice guy:)

I need somebody to keep me away from the keyboard so I don't end up buying "Sneak Attack" and "Tell Him (That You Won't Go)" off All I Need!!:)
