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: “Never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember.”

Or, more accurately,  in the words of a French composer speaking to a young Burt Bacharach “never ever feel embarrassed or discomforted by a melody that people can remember or whistle”

Of all the in memoriams we read, this one on Twitter made us smile the most, especially the replies (“Did he say what he thought of Jobseeker?” “His eyes did.”)

Unfortunately the obituaries are coming thick and fast. At the time of writing this brief eulogy news came through of the sad passing of Trugoy the Dove.
