Passes the acid test I believe that you can hear the drums without playing the actual track.

The 80s is the last decade where the start and end of the decades are different worlds. From Public Image and the last days of disco to Madchester and acid house is a long and winding roads.

Start here I would think. No man involved but one of two drum tracks I would contend everyone has in their head – other is of course Blue Monday

Germany is a reliable source of crazy stories for slow news – WW2 pensioner has tiger tank in his basement and the like. Either that or consensual cannibalism.

At odds even

Also the lollipop lady/man/blob seems somewhat adds with another inevitable track ‘Home Schooling’ but perhaps that is literally poetic licence.

Genuinely interested in what other people make of all this.

Shoegaze has gone largely unremarked so far. Not a problem, but as we’re doing singles here’s one of the poppiest and best.

In other news I spend 30 mins on the Edgbaston site after being a ‘ballot winner’ to buy tickets for Eng v SA 2022. Being a ballot winner then allowed me to enter a 30-min virtual queue. But tickets secured.

I’m open to app devs offers to add this functionality as part of the prenup.

In the UK Blakes Seven, along with UFO and probably many other 70s scifi delights features on Forces TV. A recent discovery – mainly documentaries in the day, but vintage TV in the evening.

SEEN
Many Saints of Newark – for Sopranos nuts only, as incomprehensible otherwise.
Vigil – utterly trashy, unbelievable and formulaic but addictive nevertheless. The ‘swooping drone shot of car driving along […]

Bug Powder Dust is just the bomb. The nineties were the decade in which the bass line became the most important part of the track.
