Cicero - Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (Italian Mama Mix)




 I came across something very fascinating, I heard Pet Shop Boys produced Cicero at Spaghetti Records. It's funny that even this had Something Soft Cell related in a way. A mix version of a Soft Cell song, although there isn't no real lyrics on this version. My mobile phone is limited so if there's an actual version of him singing it, then that's Fantastic! Anyway, this is only more like a vocalization of the song really, basically hearing "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" and then a female's voice vocalizing throughout this piece. I thought the cover image was pretty neat too, especially using opposite colors from the color wheel! And silhouettes of people signifying movement say hello, wave goodbye. I know some people want to keep knocking Soft Cell as a throw away pop band, but it won't happen considering a lot of artists using their material such as this. Even A-ha covered the song which I'll post soon, I just thought I share this, this doesn't have the same feel as Soft Cell, It's more of a feel like when you drive at night out of town somewhere in a digital dream.
Come to find out, he did cover this song, will update when I find it!



P.s. I don't know that much about Cicero, I'm still checking his music out.

My Soft Cell/Marc Almond collection as of now

If I had my other CDs that I messed up and misplaced, I think my collection would be a bit bigger but no worries, when I see good deals, I'll be back!


My PSB collection updated officially at the moment

Since Release just came in the mail, I thought to just update what I have as of now. I seriously can't get over the deals I have been getting lately. I'm Slowly getting there though, I need to update my list again for my new arrivals. Trust me, Pet Shop Boys, and Soft Cell aren't the only bands I listen to, I still go on YouTube and listen to other artists as well, since I have no iPod. No worries though, its all good! Now onwards to my Soft Cell/Marc Almond updated collection

Another collection update!

Pet shop Boys Vs. America came in couple days ago; since two more of my packages came, I thought to post them! Upcoming art reviews in the next few weeks, if homework doesn't overpower me.

It's In Search of Pleasure Palace and Joy Division Under Review! I know I mentioned that I would wait to finish the first round of books but after seeing the prices were going up, I just thought just buy it now. It kind of enlightened my mood after a couple of days. Once Release comes in, I'll take a photo of what my collection is as of now. I'm really excited of how my little collection is growing and everyone is different so, I'm grateful for it!

Seriously, if you haven't noticed some good deals on Amazon, you're seriously crazy!

Another collection update!

Oh my goodness today was just a day of insanity, but in the end of the day, it was a good insanity! Talking about an oxymoron.
Then after a long day of school, had a racism fight on the public bus on the way home, it was madness! Then had to go on another bus and it was packed an leaning but when I gotten out, my mother took me home! What's so strange is that I was reading my political science book and read about racism in politics! And she told me my packages came, at first I my aunt said a package and then my mother said like 100, which was a hyperbole, not that much and when I opened them it was just a happiness moment for me, thinking Introspective, Format, Treasure Box and Bilingual was kinda resembled something that occurred today: the colours on the prism spectrum, Bilingual being able to speak two languages and the one of the guys was fighting was a Latino that spoke English and Spanish, he was on the phone and didn't nothing wrong and some ignorant man just threw out racial terms. It's horrid! Treasure Box because of my collections are treasures, not In a freaky way, just an artistic way. Of course Memorabilia, its definitely something I won't forget, I can't get over six packages came in one day! Especially after what have been happening to me! Thanks again Mazie about Format, it came in sooner than I thought! and Actually, I have a small symbolism to describe about today but the song "One More Chance is on there" and God apparently gave me another chance at life! This is just a wonderful moment for me! I swear Amazon is making fantastic deals! I'm not kidding!

A collection update

I haven't posted this when it first came in, but now it's up. I received Nightlife a few days ago and now I am currently waiting for: Format, Bilingual, Memorabilia:the Singles, Treasure Box, Introspective, Pet Shop Boys vs. america, and In Search of Pleasure Palace. I know I mention I was on a goal for the books but I changed my mind due to the price increasing. I also thought to mention so other Fantastic info, my only living grandfather turned 82 today, he's still hanging in there and the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him, he have; however, a twist in one of his intestines, but he's doing much better, and also on the other note, I'm slowly getting into a band called Joy Division which was originally Warsaw and them after Ian Curtis took his own life, they continued as New Order. Two friends of mine told me fascinating info about them and I tested them out, they sound pretty good. I am going to purchase Under Review, I saw some clips on YouTube and since its really cheap, I thought to order it. I'll keep an updated tab on my collections and will do more art reviews pretty soon. Hope you enjoy what you have seen so far, whoever explores my blogs.

Another little critique/observation

I noticed something artsy about this pet text that Neil Tennant did of the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. It consists of a dedication to the great late Whitney Houston, and knowing its a sadistic day or month and definite shock for several fans and musicians, etc. The freeze frame of this photo was oddly brilliant because even the cars share the same dull colors of black and grayish white like the building that says "We Will Always Love You, Whitney." I thought this was another fascinating pet text that have to do with something artsy in my opinion. I must say they have a way to make simple things look like art sometimes even reflects on some thing like this. In other words, this is a nice, creative scale from black to grayish white.
