Who is an artist for you where, when you hear them, regardless of song, album, whatever…
INSTANTLY makes you cringe and sends you into a fit of rage?

An artist or band where you’d rather slice your own ears off than ever hear them again.

Mine is easy.

What about you guys?

I love the 8-bit and 16-bit compositions and arrangements of Tim Follin.

This is a 3-channel Commodore 64 SID chiptune for the 1988 Black Lamp game.

Be sure to wait for the solo starting at around 42 seconds into the track. 👍👍

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

I'm revisiting early-mid 1980s albums by prog rock (& related) artists, when they decided to try new, more stripped down, approaches, many of which provoked vilification & even decades-long grudges among older fans who accused their favourite bands of selling out (see also: Queen's Hot Space album).

All artefacts degrade over time. What is the component of a 1980s home computer that gives out first? When did/does this happen?

As I work today I'm listening to the soundtrack from the 1982 Conan the Barbarian film that was composed by Basil Poledouris. Things are feeling fairly barbaric at the moment here in the Arizona desert

Stopping in at FB once every couple of months can sometimes be fun.

(yes, me on the far right)

And no, our band did not normally wear these wonderful polyester outfits; we were also in the glee club and served as the backing band.

Flashback to the mid-1980s.
Caught in a moment of youthful wonder. Sometimes I think I'm still that kid, full of curiosity.

37 years ago today (April 19) in 1987, the first Simpsons short "Good Night" aired on The Tracey Ullman show. I wasn't watching (I was 7), but I was watching when the Simpsons aired as its own series a couple years later.

The A-Team from the 1980s is my favorite TV show, and they had these big hardcover 'Annual' books they'd put out for it. I just discovered the one from 1984 is at the Internet Archive, and if you log in, you can 'borrow' it for an hour (and every hour it resets) and flip through all the scanned pages. It's totally wild.

Some screenshots are below, but check out the full thing here, once you log in: https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780723567172/page/24/mode/2up

TIN MACHINE
Tin Machine
1989 Canada pressing

I love both Tin Machine albums, but it has less to do with Bowie than it does with Reeves Gabrels. His guitar playing on both is otherworldly.

This album is better than the second on whole, but still not looked upon favourably by Bowie disciples and I don’t know why.

It is a killer metallic slice of art-rock. A pre-cursor (along with Pixies) for what would happen throughout the next decade.
