Pure vibes

John Foxx was the first singer with Ultravox but left the band to concentrate on a solo career. His early tunes were all full of wicked sinister synth lines and considering this stuff was released in 1980 it still doesn’t sound that dated today. Perhaps that’s to do with many producers drawing influence from many of the early synth artists in that era but this has definitely stood the test of time better than others from the same era.

Depeche Mode – It’s Called A Heart (The Video They’d Rather Forget?)

Friday, January 28th, 2011

Good tune and all but this is really about the video for me. Taken from some random French TV show deep in the 80s there are some very baffling things going on here. The S&M look did seem to creep into pop band attire back then without people batting an eyelid but now it’s the sort of thing that pops up to cause maximum LOLs at red faced musicians who look like total bellends on video. What those random dudes are doing in the room with them, I have no idea

Tim Cappello – I Still Believe

Tim Cappello

One of my favourite songs from The Lost Boys, a film that I absolutely loved when I was growing up (I still do actually). It came out when I was 9 and I thought that it was the coolest thing ever when I first saw it. The soundtrack is actually wicked and has a load of great tracks on it, this one gets major plus points for having lots of saxophone goodness…big, big tings.
