Abba - The Visitors

This is a very underrated song by Abba . . . very new wave and it fits in with the alienation and paranoia of early Gary Numan / Tubeway Army and DEVO . . . it's a still a catchy Abba song yet really screams "our lives are coming apart."

Toots & the Maytals - Pressure Drop (live)

The more times I hear this song, the more I like this song:



I like this live version a lot. The original is pretty amazing, of course.

The Plasmatics, "Dream Lover" live

Wendy O Williams, rest in peace.

Ready? Ich-ni-san-shi!

Altered Images - Happy Birthday

It's been years since I heard this, and then I heard it today on the radio . . . WFMU of course.

Devo - That's Good

I'm not sure I ever saw this video . . . but this was my favorite DEVO song when I was younger. "Oh No! It's Devo" was one of my first two albums - I received it and the first A Flock of Seagulls album for Christmas. I asked for both.



Apparantly this ran afoul of MTV and had to be edited . . . yeah, DEVO getting censored for explicit context. Heh.

Otoboke Beaver - Don't Light My Fire

I'm not sure how I missed this in 2019 . . . but miss it I did.



That's great, great stuff.

Television Personalities - Part Time Punks

They've got 2.50 to see The Clash.
