And my third and final post tonight...

Jefferson playing on the roof in 1968 .......

I'm waiting for my guest to arrive, and will hear all of these enticing posts later. I'm sure it will be much more pleasant to listen to than what I just forced myself to listen to. I just got through listening to my first practice recording and run through of Clair de Lune. YUK!! Yeah, I know it's like that in the early stages. However, it feels like taking nasty medicine that I created! The learning process is sure strange!

Later folks!

I notice a theme with all this Rod Stewart music.

I was a big fan of early Rod Stewart. I first saw him in Steam Packet. I bought Truth and Beck Ola when I was a young lad and listen to them still.

Hi folks I won't have time to post for a few days. I'll be lurking, however. I've decided to put some additional time on my piano practice. It's feeling like some breakthrough might be coming, and I need to go with it!

Later!

Griffin, I'm almost finished with the music organisation, but the current decorating works in the office will allow some new CD shelving, so who knows!

Thanks for the Martin Luther King.

Following my earlier theme of label samplers, another great sampler from the early 80s was ZTT: Zang Tuum Tumb Sampled:

LP: IQ 6
Cassette: IQ C 6

Art of Noise: Closing
Frankie Goes To Hollywood: Disneyland
Propaganda: Femme Fatale
Anne Pigalle: Intermission (The Gods are Bored)
Instinct: Swamp Out
Art of Noise: Egypt
Andrew Poppy: The Object Is A Hungry Wolf (Extract 1)
Propaganda: p:Machinery (Beta)
Anne Pigalle: Looking For Love (Demo)
Art of Noise: A Time For Fear (Who's Afraid)
Frankie Goes To Hollywood: Born To Run (Live)
Andrew Poppy: The Object Is A Hungry Wolf (Extract 2)

I still have the cassette.

Here's one track, p:Machinery from the German band Propaganda:



...just proving that Germany in the 80s could produce truly marvellous pop. Nobody should be without Propaganda's album A Secret Wish.

Every other track on ZTT Sampled is also excellent. Art of Noise were highly influential in their use of sampling (in the days when sampling a second of sound cost an arm and a leg).

The Art of noise were excellent Eglantine and I do remember them well, I also seem to remember Propaganda P machinery, funnily enough by the girls outfit and the marionette video.

I am now wondering just what you may have on the 4AD label????? And Mute label of course??
Tell me your secrets!!!

4AD: Belly, The Breeders, Harold Budd, Cocteau Twins, Tanya Donelly, Lisa Germano, Kristin Hersh, Lush, Pixies, The The, Thievery Corporation, Throwing Muses, Unrest, Scott Walker...

Then there's Too Pure (PJ Harvey, Steroelab, Seelfeel), Sarah Records (Heavenly, The Field Mice), Creation...

All kinds of oddments: double 10" vinyl from Seelfeel, for example. Vinyl from Bristol band Flying Saucer Attack (Distance) which looks like it's own-label. A pile of Spanish indie stuff from the 90s.

But one of the biggest piles is Ninja Tune.

I want to hug your collection Eglantine, in fact I want to sort of put it all in a duvet and sleep under the duvet of musical greatness for a week or so. Amazing what a collector!!!

DUDes and DUDettes, I just realised something in my mind...

we havent had any jesus and mary chain!!!! what on earth are we doing?

Rectification.... April skies..

And for my last music tonight... The sisters of mercy and no time to cry>>

next someone Bahaus???

Hi!

I see the thread has been in a flurry of activity. Fantastic!. BTW I also like German Pop of the 80s. I’ve especially enjoyed these posts. Thanks folks!


Later!

Good morning ladies and gents! My you guys have been busy! My little music collection is quite sad in comparision! LOL I have my first lesson early this afternoon so not sure if I'll be back to post later! If not have a great day guys!

Hi everybody... I love it!

Oh, Rossy - love your rant on the Italian Titanic, and overused phrases. Here in the O household, our number one overused phrase is "It is what it is." As far as the Titanic, I've never seen the movie in full, only snippets when BillyO sees it on TV and changes to that channel, in hopes that it's at the end so he can watch Leonardo deCaprio drown. It makes him very happy.

Here's some Cure. Look how young they are!

I am feeling very Bowieish today.

The Vapors!

I forgot about this song..

Nice selection! This was a fav Cure tune for me:

Ha! I just found this one. I used to just be right in love with this song! Oh the folly of youth! LOL

Disintegration was a great album, Becca. I remember I loved to listen to Untitled on that album when I was depressed.

Oh.. my last one for now. We were watching Biography last night and it was about Mama Cass. I believe someone said she had no interest in recording this song:
