The Show: Mantis With A Radish

 

In terms of incongruousness, this is up there with the footage of PiL on America Bandstand we mentioned a few months ago. Same year, 1980, but this time it’s Yellow Magic Orchestra wowing Soul Train’s audience.

It’s just sad it took the untimely passing of Ryuichi Sakamoto to bring it to our attention.

The Show: Right-winging, bitter-clinging, proud clingers

OMG. Coco Solid and Disasteradio stole Ladyhawke’s convertible and went on an electropop bender!!!

It’s funny. When we meet our listeners in person the dreaded “How do you prepare for the show?” question* usually arises. In the interests of transparency this Emmanuelle video is a pretty accurate representation of our pre-show rituals…

* It’s not really a dreaded question.
