In a mood for guitar music this morning. I love The Psychedelic Furs, they had some big tunes back in the 80s. They provided the wicked theme tune to John Hughes’s Pretty In Pink but it’s their other tunes that I’m more into. Check this one for a slice of new wave goodness

I’ve been slacking recently so I’ll do a few updates today. My fans have been ringing and knocking on my front door night an day moaning about the lack of big riddims being added so it’s time get back on the case.

Cheese time.
Junior, proving that you don’t have to look cool to feature heavily in your own video, weighed in with this party classic in 1982. I have no idea if he ever did anything else but I certainly don’t remember hearing any other tunes by him. Mind you, I was 4 at the time so it’s possible that the follow up singles passed me by.
He does win back cool points by sitting in a pink bath tub and, trust me, this tune rocks the party
