Good Times continue on BTG!

I keep my toolbox locked in my also locked basement, so there is enough time for me to cool down before I can get to a hammer and permanently fix Windoshit crap!

Yes!!! Matt Bianco!!! One of my all-time favourite bands of the 80’s, and 90’s, and 2000’s – and 2010’s! ‘Whose Side Are You On’ is such a classic album with so many great tracks – 6 singles was it? Out of 10 tracks altogether? Now that really says something.

Thank you Paul!

Love Matt Biano (both during & after Basia)!
Fingers crossed we’re gonna go down a Matt Bianco (and maybe even Blue Rondo A La Turk) wormhole for a bit…

Thanks for the post!

Nice to see you are (somewhat) up and running again. So frustrating if the equipment doesn’t work properly.
Thanks for this Matt Bianco!

I love Matt Bianco … I didn’t know this one existed in an extended version, so I’m happy you’re able to share it. Thank you.

Thank you Paul for this post. I have this on CD-single but it doesn’t include the Long Version, so it’s great to have it here. I also love the early singles of this band. Do you have some?

I am delighted to have this single spotlighted on your site Paul. You always choose the best records. Wow, I’m really excited that you did this record!! Can’t thank you enough.

I hope all your computer difficulties have been resolved. I know that can be so frustrating. You just are an incredible guy and I know that you have worked out all the issues.

All the very best Paul!!

Love Reilly&Fischer, too bad they didn’t do better saleswise after Indigo.

Good Times and Nervous were the two best tracks from that very underrated album. Too bad the DJs overplayed Wap Bam Boogie instead…
