The Show: Synth overload

For some reason lots of synths in the playlist today and lots of new stuff that sounds like old stuff and some old stuff that sounds like new stuff. Confused? Maybe pop really has eaten itself?

The show: Money can’t buy love (but it can buy a lot of records)

New sifty video and single “Can’t buy love” from the freak incarnate Aquarius Heaven. Thanks to Discobelle for alerting us to the video. And even bigger thanks to Keytars & Violins for putting us on to Aquarius Heaven (with the amazing “Universe” video) in the first place back in April.

The Show: It wasn’t meant to be an 80s bender. Honest.

Sananda Maitreya? No. Terence Trent D’Arby.

How did we get on a TTD kick today? Luckily we stopped short of actually playing any of his songs during the show but if you’re feeling bold try the above video – the first single off Terence’s 2nd album “Neither Fish Nor Flesh” from 1989. It’s worse than The Herb Whisperer remembers but better than he expected – if that makes any sense.

The Show: Ultimate 80’s Nightmare

Unfortunately no podcast again this week – our temporary home studio set up has failed us once again resulting in a recording similar in quality to a cassette bootleg of a Jesus & Mary Chain concert from 1984, only much, much less interesting than that implies.

However, here’s the playlist in full…

The Show: Return Of The Heavyweights

Dickheads?
Dickheads?

M83, Speech Debelle and Deano von Lounge – all of them back after lengthy absences from the show and all of them packing new tunes.

For the highly attentive listener there is an (anti?) RWC 2011 flavoured easter egg hidden in the show. Full credit for that particularly snippet goes to Roy & HG.
