History

High Life (1982) was the third Top 10 single for Modern Romance (band). It was the second single to feature Michael J. Mullins as lead vocalist and peaked at #8 on the UK chart in 1983. The single can be found on Modern Romance's two hit albums, Trick of the Light (1983) and Party Tonight (1983). It also made an appearance on their farewell single, Best Mix of Our Lives (1985) with four other singles: Best Years of Our Lives (1982 song), Don't Stop That Crazy Rhythm, Everybody Salsa, and Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey. The 12-inch vinyl came with a special fold-out poster of Michael J. Mullins and David Jaymes.

The 12-inch B-side, Band of Gold (Freda Payne song), is a cover version, which also features on the Modern Romance compilation albums Party Tonight (1983) and Modern Romance: The Platinum Collection (2006). High Life was written by Modern Romance founder member, David Jaymes.[4] It can also be found on the Japanese compilation, Juanita (1983).[5][6][7]

Personnel
gollark: What's a good way to manage all my services and stuff in a reasonably centralized fashion (yes, I know this is pretty vague)? I run many random webservices (some run in docker, they're all behind a reverse proxy (caddy)), having manually installed them, configured configuration, and in some cases set up service files for them, but I'm worried about the hassle restoring all this stuff would be in case of server failure and backing up all of `/` just seems inelegant. What I eventually want is to be able to, if my server or drives fail, redownload some scripts/configs/whatever, run some simple commands, load a backup of the relevant data and restart things.
gollark: <@404675960663703552> Random kind of late interjection: Ryzen can do (not the registered kind) ECC memory, though probably not on all boards. There's an ASRock one with IPMI and stuff which supports it.
gollark: Just buy 5 MacBooks, then, obviously.
gollark: I don't think they are great NAS choices.
gollark: Laptops only have one small internal drive bay generally and you need to connect the rest over slow USB thingies.
