WTF?!
It's a gloomy Sunday, all dense cloud and chilly dankness. I only got out of bed around 3 o'clock, there being no light to awaken me.
Time for a selection of "newer" (and not-so new) choons that have caught my ear of late to brighten the horizon, methinks...
Let's open proceedings with our ever-reliable "house band", with their take on one of my all-time favourite songs, ever:
Speaking of "80s vibes" - there appears to be a wholesale revival of such sounds around at the moment. Not least with this one, which, if it were not for the demi-drag makeup and feathered hat, might well have been a Tears for Fears album track:
Taking us more down the path well-trodden by the likes of Bauhaus and their 80s Goth compatriots, this:
Next, a lady who has obviously listened to Depeche Mode's Violator album on repeat:
The wonderful Miss Kim Wilde [coincidentally just featured in Ms Scarlet's 2025 comeback] has delved back into the decade where she started, too! If Gary Numan wasn't involved here, someone's nicked his synthesisers...
And, finally, a song that is actually from the 1980s [and one that was played on Gary Davies' Sounds of the 80s show on BBC Radio 2 just this week] that - much like my little "mixtape" I put together towards the end of last year - is one I have never previously played here, despite it being a favourite of mine for 37 years!
As ever, dear reader, I welcome your thoughts!
All good selections dear! Adore Kim Wilde. The first is a perfect one for tonight. I'm currently getting about 9".
ReplyDeleteOf snow that is.
Oh, I haven't had that for many years! Snow, that is.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the collection, dear - clink, clink! Keep warm. Jx
Nothing says 80's or 80's-inspired like some synth! That first GIF is nightmare fuel! LOL. You know I love the house band!
ReplyDeleteWhile Mistress Maddie gets railed with snow I'm expecting a freight train of freezing winds early tomorrow. Which we could send both to DC for Trump's inauguration.
*Wish we could send both to Donald.
DeleteOnce I first heard synthesiser music (probably courtesy of Giorgio Moroder) I knew I could never look back!
DeleteWe've had some frozen crap already, so I am hoping the snowy shit stays where it belongs - over there! Trump's 78 year old, and pneumonia's a huge risk for the elderly. Not that I would wish that on anyone... 👹👹👹 Jx
