Random Memorial for Monday 2/19/18

Gone but not forgotten:  the greatest hits of INXS.

Yep, the cassette version of this 1994 release has now found its way into the trash can -- not as some statement against auto-erotic asphyxiation but because we also already have the CD version of it in the music collection, and because, once you reach a certain age, you finally have to start (slowly) purging some of your things that already a quarter century old.

As is done in this series, a tune must be chosen to accompany this post.  Being a child of the late 80's -- when MTV actually showed videos all day long -- the INXS song that instantly springs to mind for its distinctive Sesame-Street-style-word-learnin' visuals is 'Mediate' ... but it turns out that 'Mediate' is only on the Australian version of this particular compilation, and I've never set foot in that country.

So instead, I'll have to get all 1987 up in here and enjoy me something I would have danced around to back in the day with the radio turned way up -- aka a 'New Sensation' (New Sensation ... New Sensation ...):

Love baby love
It's written all over your face
There's nothing better we could do
Than live forever
Well that's all we've got to do

LET'S LIVE FOREVER:
