Arcadia was most of the members of Duran Duran prancing around in rugs making tunes while Duran weren’t doing a great deal. I do love a bit of Le Bon and the boys, especially when in ultra-pretentious 80s mode so this is a winner for me.
I have to admit that before sticking it on the other day I hadn’t listened to Off The Wall in a long time. Somehow I’d managed to forget quite what an amazing album it is, soulful yet well on the way to the dizzying heights of pop greatness that would come with Thriller. Hopefully everyone knows this tune (if you don’t then I don’t know what you’ve been doing with your time) but if you’ve not checked it in a while give this a spin and remember why this man was the greatest pop artist of all time. Beautiful.
Nice stuff from long-time rockers ZZ Top. This was on their Eliminator album, of which I have an awesome picture disc, an album that sold millions and contained severalclassicsingles. Might not be your cup of tea, but give it a go…
Sick 80s business from the awesome Stephanie Mills. She’s done so many wicked tunes and I absolutely love her voice, well worth checking out her stuff on Spotify if you haven’t before. You’ll discover a load of disco and soul crackers. Big tings.
Taken from their latest album Nocturne (which is awesome) I love this little indie number. The album had a wicked limited edition press with 8 interchangeable covers and on blue vinyl that I’m gutted I missed. I’d highly recommend listening to the entire LP if you get a chance.
