#5debutAlbumsSF1 ABC - The Lexicon Of Love (1982) The quintessential orchestral synth pop album. It must have been a template for Pet Shop Boys and many others. Briliant socially aware lyrics throughout. Could do quite well. #NowPlaying

This is my unofficial recording of Mannheim. Can't remember exactly when but late 80s... Bizarre pic sleeve. Super sound quality, livelier than Wembley even though it also has impromptu and that ghastly barbers shop waste of time. Super Fred interactions with the crowd. Eight point five on ten.

Another joyous episode (as much as songs about nuclear war can be joyous) that offers up some of the giants of 80's pop in the Pet Shop Boys, Erasure and Style Council. This podcast is right in my wheelhouse, without a doubt. 😀 Cheers to Pank and Dave once again for another terrific episode.

Proud dad moment.

Very saddened to hear of the passing of the great Dexter Wansel. I was privileged to see him last year. His keyboard playing was as perfect and outstanding as ever... Spinning the magnificent "Voyager" this evening. Rest in peace, hero Dexter....

As ever, shout outs to our long time supporters @johnlogsdon.bsky.social and @metalkevin.bsky.social. Thank you.

www.bbc.com/news/article... A genius, what a life. Godspeed.

Happy Threads day to all my nuclear family! The Threads podcast returns in early June!

He is right.

For lovers of acid-jazz, big band, French lounge, seaside brass and @cornershophq.bsky.social generally, it is the most perfect album. And England is a Garden. So listen outside.

Teatime moods... With a chai and a KitKat.

I love @ledbydonkeys.org so much

Thank you @ledbydonkeys.org. You got my beloved hero to anger the Far Right yesterday and I couldn't be more proud....

Bloody hell....

Not often I pick up a record just on the sleeve, but as a lover of the train, I thought I'd get it. An offshoot of Captain Beefheart with Rabbit Bundrick. It's good. Anyone familiar?

Released 41 years ago today...😳 It's one fun record.

Grab it! It's quite unbelievable as an album. His lyrics are lacerating. "if you miss your road, I beg you don't come my way."

Iranian gets the better of Trump...

To have lost Victoria Wood and Prince on consecutive days.. 20th and 21st April...

We have a new Episode! Season 2, Episode 7. And it's all about albums this time. Kraftwerk and Paul Hardcastle are the focus, with their wonderful works "Radioaktivitat" and "No Winners"... Do listen, subscribe and review. open.spotify.com/episode/0AmV...

You know a podcast has reached new heights when they find a way to incorporate instrumentals into an episode and convincing you they are about nuclear war. Well, Pank and Dave have done it again. A truly unique and excellent episode amongst the other imperial episodes they produce.

The voice of my childhood, teens and ever since then, #AshaBonsle's magnificent voice and those of her sisters were heard every weekend in our family home as I grew up. @cornershophq.bsky.social paid her a fab tribute all those years ago, and we should all get our brimful today...

RIP Martin 😢

Extraordinary. A full, warm sound on the remaster. 2 tracks completely remodelled... Very interesting. And as for the sessions. The piano is extensive and perfect. Accompanied by magnificent bass. They were perfectionists. They worked hard and achieved the most beautiful results...

Finally

A very dear friend, Martin Smith, passed away today. A wonderful man, devoted to family. An O's fanatic from the 1950s, his love of them was unstinting. Because of him me and my boy became season tkt holders. Rest in Peace you lovely man... @orientoutlook.bsky.social @lofcsupporters.bsky.social

I still haven't received mine.

I found a picture sleeve single of “It’s a Mistake” last week. I had to pair it with my “Nuclear Device” sleeve I picked up last summer in the UK. Along with the Bang postcards given to me by @pankp007.bsky.social , it makes a nice collage for me to hang up! @bangpodcast.bsky.social

They still have it. Weekend's almost done. And those who have it appear to love it. I'm suffering FOMOB.

If you see this, post a concert photo you took. I've got a ton of Queen, Brian, Roger solo stuff. But my absolute favourite was when The Hives supported the Arctics in Sheffield. They were explosive. Greatest support performance ever

Yodel tell me "We have it". Which is why I still don't.

I ran 21 miles this morning. Four weeks until the Marathon. Please drop some coins - I’m just £4 from reaching 50% of my target sum!

I wanna rearrange this shelf. Hurry up! @oiqfc.bsky.social

Why hasn't mine arrived yet?

We're back with Season 2, Episode 5! Did you miss us? Great older tunes as reinterpreted by The Staple Singers, This Mortal Coil, Devo, The Jesus and Mary Chainz Psychic TV and The Frank Chickens. Plus a top 20 of 80s reggae nuclear songs... open.spotify.com/episode/5FX4...

So here I am in the Beatles Ashram in Rishikesh in the foothills of the Himalayas by the Ganga River. 60 years ago, George, John, Ringo & Paul came to live with the Maharishi. Though things ended sourly, a lot of magic emerged from these weeks... Can't believe I was here. Jai Guru Deva.

What a fabulous pod partner, neighbour and friend I have. @davenuclear.bsky.social

Lots of listener messages on our latest episode, one of which leads us to perform a deep dive on Gil Gunderson, a minor character who appears regularly as of Season 9 and whose defeated outlook on life makes Hans Moleman look like a member of Hurrah For Everything. open.spotify.com/episode/4h1p...

open.spotify.com/track/00OHoe... This is a nice one

And here's the Apple link.... We also discuss 6 fab songs by Fad Gadget, Final Program, Rational Youth, New Scientists, They Must be Russians, and Art Fact... If you didn't know them before @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social hope you'll love them. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Oh my bloomin wotsits. This is fab. His voice is tired but RMT helps him out. What shows these were. Thank you @thehappyspaceman.bsky.social
