THis this...

I had no idea it was a cover until I heard it on @rtegold.bsky.social on #ABCtoXTC from @jconnollybooks.bsky.social

what a song!!!

No More I Love Yous

#MDANT ...!

This is such a sweet cover!

not sure if it is the one @jconnollybooks.bsky.social played on his #ABCtoXTC on @rtegold.bsky.social

but it is sublime

my old band once did a Sean Nós version....

So many great tunes on this week's show: www.rte.ie/radio/gold/c...

Great cover version from them on @jconnollybooks.bsky.social #ABCtoXTC on @rtegold.bsky.social at the weekend:

I bought a whole selection of 12" remixes of this album,
I loved it so much!
there was another jazzy type band at the time that didn't cut the mustard or stick around: Animal Nightlife (?)

@jconnollybooks.bsky.social on his aptly named #ABCtoXTC om @rtegold.bsky.social often plays some rare ABC

Just so joyous!

Now I'm scratching my head...

I heard either a Shalamar or a Shakatak song featuring a very unusual guest singer on a recent #ABCtoXTC from @jconnollybooks.bsky.social on @rtegold.bsky.social
...but can't remember who

John @jconnollybooks.bsky.social

years ago on #ABCtoXTC you played this version of Shout by Tears for Fears

I'm convinced at 2mins 43s Shaun Ryder is shouting "Oregano, Oregano": youtu.be/_l2W8kCuFkY?...

Say it's so!

[ last thing I posted on my Mastodon account ]

should've said ABC to XTC...

( sorry @jconnollybooks.bsky.social #ABCtoXTC )

Ooh!

first John Foxx track has the feel of The Motors - Airport @jconnollybooks.bsky.social

#ABCtoXTC

Kissing The Pink was one of the oddities of the early eighties that I loved and still do,
ocassionaly @jconnollybooks.bsky.social on his #ABCtoXTC show on @rtegold.bsky.social may play the odd one

youtu.be/mg43Jt3T25A?

I heard a fantastic tune from The Church on #ABCtoXTC @rtegold.bsky.social presented by @jconnollybooks.bsky.social ...many months ago

It was the first time I had heard them,
can't for the life in me remember what John played but it was excellent

Will now trawl through old posts to try & find it

The also do a great cover of Velvet Uderground's Pale Blue Eyes

which I think ...or was it the original, ...not sure, was played by @jconnollybooks.bsky.social #ABCtoXTC on @rtegold.bsky.social tonight

www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rab...

Oh!

Fine Young Cannibals did some fine songs

haven't heard much about them or from them for a while

I think @jconnollybooks.bsky.social played one a while back on #ABCtoXTC on #RTEgold

Oi BlueSky!

At 6pm EU time / 5pm Irl - GB you should be listening to #ABCtoXTC with @jconnollybooks.bsky.social for the best 80s / Punk / New Wave rteradioapp.page.link/QSuufZ9VcKh9...
