I'm Having another 80's phase: Duran Style

So I'm having another 80's phase triggered by (yet another) Bret Easton Ellis novel.

While I found Imperial Bedrooms to be a less than equal sequel to the book Less Than Zero, I found myself drawn to the musical tie-ins that are typical of Ellis' novels.



Ellis uses musical references wherever possible to give his novels a sound... it really helps the reader get the mood of the scene... also helps keep the period-feeling (80's) intact.

So this week the song that I can't get out of my head is "Hungry Like the Wolf" yeah! after years of complete ignorance it took a novel to get me into Duran Duran.

"I do not know if you remember the tale of the girl who saves the ship under mutiny by sitting on the powder barrel with her lighted torch and all the time knowing that it is empty? This has seemed to me a charming image of the women of my time. There they were, keeping the world in order by sitting on the mystery of life, and knowing themselves that there was no mystery."
