3 good choices. I especially like ' Bitterest pill' pretty much their ending.

3 before bedtime tonight.

You dancin'?, you askin'?, I'm askin', I'm dancin'.

Young Hearts run free. – Candi Staton. An excellent timeless disco-soul classic. Free and easy, with warnings for the young at heart.

Don’t leave me this way – Thelma Houston. Originally recorded by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes and their version is superb! Both Ooze soul and emotion, Thelma Houston’s having more of a 70’s disco sound. Many modern singers aspire to this style of singing, but few get close.

Native new Yorker – Odyssey. Originally recorded by Frankie Valli (Never new that) Also sung by Esther Phillips but with more of a big band sound, (I don't like it much). Odyssey’s version is the familiar one. Free and easy New York City. I don’t know who the singer is, but another great voice and my favourite version.



Nighty night.

Once you got over the shock of the outfits, they were actually half decent...

I liked Xmal Deutschland and groups like Play Dead and 1919 (I knew their bassist).

It was all so new and exciting then.

Yeah, remember both of them.

Think I had a Play Dead single called 'Propaganda'...and I remember the way 1919 used to write their name.

After home schooling my two boys (Flynn and Arlo) for the past 2 weeks, due to a Sars CV2 case at their school, I'm finally free to listen to some music.

3 before bedtime tonight -

Add at brush stroke or two from the pallet of Joy Division and the slightest fleck of paint from the Smiths, Fall, JCC even, and you get, Fontaines DC. the most exciting band around at the moment (for me). I'm not saying they sound as such, I'm just hearing an original creativeness in the subconscious that associates them. Still working my way through the lyrics, discovering and interpreting.

Fontaines DC: A Hero's Death

1 - I don't belong. 2 - A televised mind. 3 - A lucid dream.

Nighty night.

3 'German' Cold War classics

First rule is- The laws of Germany
Second rule is- Be nice to mommy
Third rule is- Don't talk to commies
Fourth rule is- Eat kosher salamis




Sensurround sound in a two inch wall
Well I was waiting for the communist call
I didn't ask for sunshine and I got World War three
I'm looking over the wall and they're looking at me




"99 Luftballons" by German singer Nena – the song imagines a world where the release of 99 balloons triggers governments to scramble fighter jets to intercept them, ultimately leading to total nuclear annihilation...
