I’m writing from yet another hotel in Asheville, NC. We close on our new-old house tomorrow morning. This time we brought the kids with us so they can check it out. So far, thumbs up. That said, I did get panhandled three times in as many minutes after leaving a restaurant tonight. I’m not sure if that’s more irritating or funny. This is my fourth near-1000-mile-roundtrip to Asheville in a little over a month.
I’ve always liked this silly song, “Pop Musik.” I played the flipside, “M Factor”, this morning and already I’ve forgotten what it sounds like. That means it’s either completely forgettable, or I’m really tired from driving all day.
Hi,
I hope you can help me! There’s an 80’s internet radio station playing Pop Musik, and I swear it’s not the original version. Being as you have the 45, i’d figure that is the version i remember from the 80’s. Is there any way you can describe the BEAT? Does it have a steady bass drum beat, or it is more funky like a 90’s beat? I hope you can help!
Hey Chris, The single we have definitely has a steady bass drum beat, not a funky or synchopated thump at all. Hope that helps! Tracy
