Love this, Justin, takes me right back to where--if I didn't look too closely in a mirror--I believed I could achieve glamour myself and move like Mads if I practised hard enough. And the 'play-rec' button anxiety was real, along with getting everyone to shut the f*ck up on a Sunday when I was recording my faves from the radio. Now, whenever I hear a blast from the past which I'd taped in those heady days, I still automatically know what 'comes' next, whether it was a DJ making a dumb remark and cutting off a perfectly good end, or the next track... funny how these recordings stick in the mind.

For what it's worth, Madonna pushed to get Paris is Burning a distributor.
