Danielle and Alana have been sharing this vintage Eurythmics tour t-shirt from the 1986-1987 The Revenge Tour.

There’s not many available online currently - just this one from eBay for $124.99, but I’ll post any more if I find them.

“ Sweet dreams are made of this

Who am I to disagree

I travel the world and the seven seas

Everybody's looking for something “

Eurthymics - Sweet dreams (are made of this) - Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart -1982

I am used to listen that song when I work on one of my OCs, Kurt Piceas, his personality and his story :-)

Solar System, 2183. 

It’s been long ago that Humanity left Earth for colonized others planets and moons such as Mars, Ganymède, Titan or Io. (During that time most of the surface of the Earth returned to wilderness and the few humans that still lives there, lives in the ancient big cities such as Paris, San Fransico, London or Tokyo, and the Moon had been classed as Sacred Sanctuary of Nature and no human presence is allowed )

Like during the Conquest of the Seas during the XVIII, this new flow between planets see new explorations to the edge of the world and the emergence of conflits, in order to control the trafic of goods and across the Systeme. In the shadow, like during the Golden Age, Piracy had return. Buglars, warriors, Robin Hood-like thieves, outlaws...  They are considered as dangers or as heroes by the public. 

Kurt Piceas is one of the new generation of Pirates. He sailing with a little crew ( each member has sworn to never turn their attacks into bloodsheed) and using a medieval sword that he never draws . If Kurt is considered by the crew as a genuinely friendly and cheerful fellow, everyone see that he hide a secret burden and the fact he look if he was desperately seeking for a unkown answer.

Like if he had, seen everything, every shores of Earth’s sea. See and learn so many things that normaly only tousands of lives can fullfil...

Or just just a very, very, very long one...

September 29, 1983 - Rolling Stone issue #405 with Annie Lennox(Eurthymics)

[dishdasha]

I was a big Eurthymics fan as a teenager. Not sure why, I think they felt like a safe option for my anxious, closeted, 1984 self in the middle of a brutally masc private Catholic boys school playground. They were poppy without being camp, not as flamboyant as the New Romantics, but with a few lipstick traces of the indie-cred of Human League et al.

I feel a bit silly about it now Annie Lennox is doing MOR torch song covers, but this is an album that I will stand by even now. I love its wilfully artsy punk aesthetic (even though they weren’t very) and the diversity of the songwriting is excellent.

But actually, what I really love about it is the percussion! I’m not a drummer so I don’t know what I’m talking about, but the drums seems really complex and interesting to me, syncopated and using lots of sounds. They give each song a unique, twitchy, energy. It reminds me of that bit in 24 Hour Party People when the Martin Hannet character tells the Stephen Morris character to drum “slow but fast” on Love Will Tear Us Apart.
