"Ahead of their headline set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, Ed Power looks back on how drugs, drink, and the recording process turned goth-rock troupe into ‘a powder keg ready to explode.'"
Hell yeah, best time with the best music!
Those were the days when we’d go out at midnight or in the early hours in the morning and party like crazy then go to work/school the next morning. After work, we’d do it all again. Great times. Love this beat. #Dance#Dancing#Music#80s#80sMusic
Gary Numan released Telekon, my favorite of his records, in 1980. It was the first vinyl I bought as a teen in the 90s. Hearing this intro track and the album that followed was mindblowing. Definitely listen to this whole record if you get a chance.
Here's "This Wreckage", the first song on Telekon, one of the best album opening tracks EVER:
@VampiresAndRobots hell yes!! I didn't pay much more than that either haha - just a couple bucks if I remember right. What DEALS. This album is SO special.
This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #MyGenerationMusic. I was born in April of 1980, and there were SEVERAL great albums that came out that year.
But my top choice for that year has to be DEVO.
Devo released their third record Freedom of Choice in May 1980 with the magical song (and my favorite song on the album) 'Gates of Steel' opening up its second side.
@wendigo hell yeah! That one has their Secret Agent Man cover hahaha - and I see the bonus tracks for it are two of my favorite Devo songs too - "Soo Bawlz" and "Penetration in the Centrefold"
On this day in 1980, the South African government banned Pink Floyd's single 'Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)' after Black children adopted the song as their anthem in protest against inferior education.
I have another one for #TuneTuesday and #SameTitleDifferentSong. This one often comes to mind for me, too. The third one is missing the 'ing' but I'm still counting it, especially since Dave played for Tom and they were friends. I love the SHIT outta all THREE of these songs.
@wendigo@Kitty haha thank you - I managed to nail the big ones I usually think of. Strangely, both sets start by being Floyd related. And the circle is unbroken, by and by 😂
