Default Blondie Appreciation Thread
Im loving myself some Blondie @ the moment - "Curse of Blondie" has been consistantly in my CD player for weeks

I have to apologise to Josh - after giving "No Exit" quite a ribbing over @ sevenwonders. I bought it again and gave it a listen and, although not as good as "Curse" still has some great moments!

I have heard those two albums - plus 'AutoAmerican' which is turning out to be my least favourite of the three. Im waiting for Brandon to bring me a copy of "The Hunter" over from the US when he makes his big move - so Im looking forward to hearing that

Any other Blondie fans out there??

I think most people on here are.
I like No Exit better than Curse still.

Blondie rocks my world -- granted, it doesn't take much, but "Good Boys" and "Union City Blue" are enough to make me...

Yeah. But actually, almost all albums take a long time to grow on me, so maybe someday I'll like Curse better. No Exit is more accessible, catchy, and pleasantly melodic to me.
Also, I fell in love with Maria the first time I heard it on the Radio. ZZITBBR is a sublime vocal with amazingly whimsical and original lyrics (of course, right?). I love the rap song. etc.

Call me is my favorite forever. I have to miss them when they're playing here on the 27th. Well, not here, but at Konocti with The New Cars. either way, it sucks.

Aw, I'm sorry you're missing Blondie too. Although New Cars? No Rick Okasek? Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about that.

Oh, and I'm all over you're rigatoni comment. I feel much the same way about Penne. I've gotta great Penne a la Vodka recipe that'll kill ya.

So cool!! Im still waiting for them to come to NZ.

BTW - has anybody noticed in the booklet for "Curse of Blondie" that in the credits for "Good Boys" that it says "mucis by.." instead of 'music by.."

Sorry - just a random notation

I love me some Blondie alright. Going to see them next month.

I credit dear old Josh for hooking me on them. From there, we proceeded to convert all who did not already worship the Blondie here.

And Autoamerican is like my favorite album!

I also credit Josh for re-igniting my love for Blondie - all my Blondie albums had been sitting around without getting much play - but Josh started talking about what a great album 'Curse' was, and I remembered I had it, and it started from there
