A-ha

Joanne, quoting Christian:

Definitely not Mr Harket?? Tsk!  No appreciation for truly godlike male beauty (though I admit in some photos of late he's looked a bit gaunt, pale and squinty).  I'm embarrassed to report that I have retained a lot of my teenage wealth of knowledge on A-ha.  The "other one" is Mags Furuholmen, and he was tall with curly blond hair.  My least favorite.  I always thought he had a bit of a cocky, irritating-cool-boy air about him, whereas Pa(u)l, the skinnier, straight haired one (he added the U after immigrating to the US for his American wife, I believe) seemed intense and contemplative.

Haven't they just released a new album?  Some lingering adolescent part of me wanted to buy it, but I think I'd be better off getting a copy of their Headlines and Deadlines greatest hits video so I can sigh in front of Take On Me all over again...

Tabouli.
