This month marks the thirtieth anniversary of Standing in the Light, the fourth studio album from the UK band Level 42. Following on the heels of The Pursuit of Accidents from 1982 (click here for that review), this 1983 release went to number 27 in Germany, number 25 in Sweden and number 9 in the UK.
This is a blog about recreational hobbies that I am interested in (music, TV, movies, books). I also talk about what's on my mind or things that happen in life around me. Please feel free to post comments; I want this to be an interactive dialogue. If you like what you read, please share it with your friends. Thanks.
