🎙️ New episode coming Monday — our very first one entirely in English!
Recorded on the exact 40th anniversary of Please, we dive deep into the upcoming "Obscure" shows by the Pet Shop Boys.
Expect:
- songs never played live
- forgotten B-sides
- and our own nerdy dream setlists
Are you ready […]
By early ’84, Cyndi Lauper was already everywhere.
But on the dancefloor, Arthur Baker elevated Girls Just Want To Have Fun with a killer 12” mix to No.1.
And he wasn’t even at his best yet…
She Bop is where it really clicks.

In which I try to make the argument that Samantha Fox's "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" is actually a 10.
No, really, it is.

If there's one music genre I would consider doing an essay on. It'd probably be 1980s New Wave music given how versatile that genre is with links to Punk, Goth, Synthpop, Hard Rock, Pop, etc.
Its one of my favourite music genres.

Why do some Jam fans still hate The Style Council? A look back at Café Bleu, Paul Weller’s refusal to stand still, and why curiosity still annoys people.

Just came to mind is all. Funny, I remembered this as Human League!
I really liked Human League. But these guys look silly, frankly. But so catchy! :)

Vinyl has a way of slowing time. This one brings me back — not just to the ’80s, but to a moment when pop music knew how to balance polish and soul. I write about albums, culture, and why music still matters. More on the blog — link in bio. 🎧✨

Whereas the title song from “Xanadu” would become ELO's only UK #1, this earlier single could only peak at #18 in 1980. It thus broke a run of seven Top 10 singles for Jeff Lynne & co, beginning with #MrBlueSky. It did, however, reach the Top 10 in France and was certified gold in the USA.
