Depeche Mode 🎩🪄 Blasphemous Rumours (1984)
Dave Gahan’s commanding vocals, blending with Martin Gore’s provocative storytelling, with striking sound effects and synth textures
A standout track that helped define Depeche Mode’s growing power and ambition in the mid 80s
Robert Palmer 🎩🪄 I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On (1985)
Slick, synth-driven pop-funk with that cool Palmer restraint on a track originally written by Cherrelle/Jam & Lewis
Underrated gem in his 80s run, more groove than people remember, more attitude than it gets credit for😎
@punt_rd Ya - - I get it. So you know: around these parts we can ALSO “rip a good one” (!) Sometimes applying beans in combination with the cheese and beer is instrumental in this.
So… Iran, a country whose military we’ve “destroyed”, was able to shoot down one of our Apache helicopters, during a “ceasefire”, in the middle of a war that isn’t a war, which is “two days” away from ending?
Fun fact:
Quentin Tarantino first discovered The 5.6.7.8’s while listening to them play live inside a secondhand clothing store in Tokyo.
He loved them so much that he immediately flew the band out to appear in Kill Bill.
"Lost In Your Eyes" is from the album Electric Youth (1989), Debbie Gibson's second album. She wrote the entire lyrics at the age of 17, while still in high school at Calhoun High School, and produced the track herself (with Fred Zarr on keyboards).
The track was released in January 1989 and was a success: it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, a week later, the album also reached #1, making her the first female teen artist to have a single and album at the top simultaneously. To this day she sings this music around the world (including on recent tours in Chile and Peru) and the crowd sings together as if it were 1989.
George Benson roller skated with a guitar and bought a hot dog in a fantasy island suit. This guy was the definition of the word BOSS! 😎 😎 😎
