As I said yesterday I had seen the video of &#8220;It&#8217;s My Life&#8221; but had not heard &#8220;Dum Dum Girls until years later.  This sounds like a completely different band that recorded their first two records, but it is the same original trio of Mark Hollis, Paul Webb and Lee Harris and Tim Friese-Green still not an official member although he is the co-writer of all the songs with Mark Hollis, plays piano and produced the album. Gone are the synthesizers and the Pop stylings to be replaced by a more Jazz, Progressive and even Art Rock sound. I always liked &#8220;Happiness Is Easy&#8221; that features a school choir a d &#8220;I Don&#8217;t Believe You&#8221;, &#8220;Life&#8217;s What You Make It&#8221;, and &#8220;Give It Up&#8221;. Additional personnel include Steve Winwood, Robbie McIntosh, and Morris Pert among many others. I always liked this record and played it often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought this record in 1986 when I was living in Salisbury Md. working at the small shipyard owned by&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/2023\/11\/12\/talk-talk-the-colour-of-spring\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Talk Talk-The Colour Of Spring<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5589"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5591,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5589\/revisions\/5591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
