To The Point Of No Return

I saw Adventureland last week. I went into it having no idea that it was set in Pittsburgh and shot at Kennywood Park, which I probably went to about 10 times between the ages of 13 and 24.

Adventureland takes place in summer 1987. There's a great scene where the main actors (Jessie Eisenberg and Twilight's Kristen Stewart) are at a dance club and Exposé's "Point Of No Return" is playing.

Damn, I forgot what a jam that is! Reminds me of junior high bus rides.



Those broads were like the Miami Bananarama, no? Someone once told me that Exposé got royally screwed with their contract, and only made, like, $200 a concert or something.

Also, Pet Shop Boys tracked down their producer, Lewis Martineé, to swizz up "Domino Dancing." Wonder whatever happened to Lewis? Maybe the girls put a karma hex on him, and now he's flippin' burgers in St. Augustine.

Anyway, Adventureland...good flick.

First Listen: 'In Your Arms' By Industry

The clip of Irish pop act Industry's forthcoming debut single "My Baby's Waiting" posted Monday seemed to be a hit, so here's another.

Upon mentioning that the band's management were looking to get a song of theirs on Grey's Anatomy for the next season, Poster Girl raised the interesting point that "My Baby's..." sounded a bit too pop for the series.

Actually, the song submitted to Grey's is a ballad called "In Your Arms," written by Industry band member Lee Hutton (i.e., the one guiding your line of sight to his naughty bits in the above pic) and produced by Jakke Erixson and Oscar Holter.

Here's a clip of "In Your Arms":



Also, here's the link to Industry's official site.
