SCANDAL
Warrior
1984 Canada pressing
Like I said… I can’t listen to the E.P. without listening to Warrior. Together, I treat them as one very awesome long album.
Many more awesome songs on this other than The Warrior.
The whole first side just SLAYS, and Talk To Me is great too.
Yes, of a very particular time and place.
But both that time and place were awesome.

SCANDAL
Scandal
1982 Canada pressing
I’ve been lucky enough to meet some very cool people. Patty was one of the coolest, humblest ladies, & she could not have been more dope.
“Goodbye To You” is one of the best pop songs ever, #newwave or not, regardless of genre. I can’t listen to this E.P. without putting Warrior on immediately after.
All time fave.
Met Patty Smyth.
Met Patti Smith.
Now I just need to meet poet Patricia Smith.

JOHN LURIE
Down By Law
2025 France 140 Gram
Clear #vinyl
Down By Law is one of my favorite films, and I’ve seen it so many times, that even the music is tattooed on my brain forever.
John Lurie is such an immensely talented dude. A great actor, a wonderful musician, and accomplished fisherman .
I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over....

#80sMusic
In meiner Erinnerungskiste habe ich ein Büchlein gefunden. Es enthält die kompletten Tracklists meiner alten Musikkassetten. Handgeschrieben und akribisch teilweise in furchtbarer deutsch-englischer Lautschrift gehalten.
Ich deezer gerade Titel, die ich längst vergessen hatte.
Beispiel?
"Wolkenreise".
Ok - das war 1979, aber hey ... dankt mir später, dass ich euch daran erinnert habe.

“WEIRD AL” YANKOVIC
Dare To Be Stupid
1985 Canada pressing
My Sunday is about to get very weird and very stupid.
Weird Al is a king among peasants. He will always be celebrated in my house for the genius he is, and I will tolerate NO slander or shit talk about the greatest poet laureate of our time.
This week’s #DrDavesLyricChallenge is a song from 1986, but is actually a cover version of a soul ballad released in 1968. #80s #80smusic #Forgotten80s
Didn't I say all those lovin' special things that you long to hear?
To show how much I care
Album Cover: Rick Astley - "Whenever You Need Somebody" (2022 Reissue)
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul.

RICK SPRINGFIELD
Don't Talk To Strangers
1982 U.S. 7” single
Back when we were all growing up in the #80s , two older teenage sisters LOVED The Ricker.
I did not share their enthusiasm. To this day, I’d rather stick flaming knives into my eyes than hear “Jessie’s Girl” ever again.
However, THIS SONG…
This song I always liked. I always appreciated it’s Jackson Browne-y type vibe, and my urge to kill is non existent when it’s on, unlike other RS songs.

40 years ago today, “Doctor in Distress” (1985), the single from Who Cares? was released. It is considered the worst charity single ever. Recorded to save Doctor Who from possible cancellation, proceeds were intended go to the charity Cancer Research. Sales were so poor that it failed to recover expenses. #80s #80smusic #DoctorWho
Pure 80's banger with an absolutely atrociously terrible video.
Here's Bonnie Tyler....
