Tears For Fears – Watch Me Bleed

You probably know a load of tunes by these guys, they had several massive hits in the 80s although I was never so much a fan of the later ones (Shout, Sowing the Seeds etc.). Their first album, The Hurting, contains some killer tracks and is one of those rare pop records that’s actually worth a listen all the way through rather than heading straight for the singles. As well as Mad World, and the awesome Pale Shelter there are a few other wicked tracks on there including this one…

Yacht Rock

I’d never heard of this before but it’s amazing. 80s smooth music greats getting parodied excellently. Still need to go through and watch the lot but the couple that I have checked out are hilarious. Episode 2 here detailing how Toto’s Rosanna got made…

…and the rest of them

Eighth Wonder – I’m not Scared

Awesome 80s pop written by the Pet Shop Boys and sung by a young Patsy Kensit. Wicked tune that I can’t get out of my head…

Might as well chuck in the version the Boys recorded for their amazing Introspective album for good measure

Just Blaze – Random Mix

Mad stuff from hip hop producer Just Blaze. Just got all the way through and he went from old skool bits & pieces into a whole host of randomness in this one. All done to test out the new mixer he’d just bought late one night. It’s far from polished but that’s not really the point and there are some amazing moments in there. Highly recommended…
