    No FLag

    It seems like Elvis Costello works best in times of crisis or war, and his ‘No Flag’ is very angry and timely. Love the 80’s video in ultra-modern Instagram square format, 2020’s via 80’s cold war alienation. As said by others including Mr B, on his new album, us Gen X have this whole thing…

  • RC 283: Rubik’s Cube (ETTT)

    RC 283: Rubik’s Cube (ETTT)

    Time to play a game…you have to guess the theme, like RadMac’s Tea Time Theme Time on 6Music, can you work out the theme linking the tracks in the first hour? Can you give up after the Rubik’s Cube ruins your wrists and either peel off all the decals and stick them back on, or…

  • The Last Pirates

    The Last Pirates

    Just like the pirate stations, I don’t know how long this video will stay up, but this is a great documentary on London pirate stations of the 1980’s and 90’s. Kiss, Kool, Passion, Fire, used to listen to a lot of those (and remember the anger over Jazz FM). Not exactly the last pirates, there…

    Live at the Necropolis: Lords of Synth

    It seems Adult Swim especially it’s late night 3am specials can do no wrong…look at this video of an epic 1986 synth battle from Xangelix, Morgio Zoroger and Carla Wendos. It’s genius, and makes you really want them to succeed, a rare thing in this deluge of viral mehtent. Even the throwaway lines or characters…

  • Dick Vaughn’s Video Perfect Cut

    Dick Vaughn’s Video Perfect Cut

    Apparently never previously released, this is mesmerising view of Dick Vaughn aka Richard Lyons performing ‘Perfect Cuts’ and perfect dancing in a mall in California. Somehow I know that thousands of millennials are trying to recreate this madness on their computers for a ‘perfect 80’s’ feel, and failing…have to do it live, baby! (via Negativland)

  • Starcadian – Saturdaze

    Starcadian – Saturdaze

    Starcadian’s Sunset Blood was a big hit around here, and he has a new album out called Saturdaze inspired by Saturday morning TV watching as a kid, cartoons and weird films. Not sure about the ‘covers’ (I guess Dance or Die is a theme from the 1987 Troma film?) but I love Ultralove and Money.…
