Creem Profiles

OMD

(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)

April 1, 1987

HOME: In the dark, of course.

AGE: Pacific.

PROFESSION: Junk culture royalty.

HOBBIES: Writing lots of neat pop songs with some variation of the word female in it, be they “dead” or “Telsa.”

LAST BOOK READ: Pretty In Pink by George O’Dowd

LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Writing “Garden City" in honor of Kordosh’s hometown.

QUOTE: “We love you.”

PROFILE: Originally hitting during the big wave of “synth-pop," it was evident that Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark were far above the pack as early as the incredibly melodic “Enola Gay.” John Hughes made them stars by including the pretty “If You Leave” in Pretty In Pink, and they’ve resided in pop heaven ever since.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
