#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge Scorpios: Adam & The Ants (1981) A far cry from the punk era, this could have been a US TV cop show theme! This live version is from 1982, I shudder to think what the daily bill for express dry cleaning was…! youtu.be/OW6b2zRLUHQ

#MusicInMusic #MusicChallenge Moogie Wonderland: Stereolab (1994) As if Ping Pong as an A-side wasn’t incentive enough, this wonderfully titled beauty was 1st of the 3 bonus EP tracks. youtu.be/IWpbsGrUzGk

What a legend, what a loss.

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge My Kingdom (Parts 1-5): The Future Sound Of London Remember the time when a 30-minute single would be eligible for the singles chart? FSOL do. Why settle for the 4-min radio/video edit?! From the CD single, UK #13 in October 1996 youtu.be/KaNrXVOQpKg

#MusicInMusic #MusicChallenge Bill Drummond Said: Julian Cope (1984) Julian Cope Is Dead: Bill Drummond (1986) These two are inseparable in my mind. One of Julian's finest songs, 'answered' by his former manager and future KLF genius. youtu.be/kuDmjZfa_Z0?... youtu.be/HcbM77qCu3o?...

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge Dead Pop Stars: Altered Images (1981) See also Disco Pop Stars, recorded for the B-side of I Coould Be Happy and equally wonderful. youtu.be/pKY5NK4VS1Y?... youtu.be/2jr9R1cuzVc?...

So good to have @cut-copy.bsky.social back in our lives. Current single Belong To You featuring Kate Bollinger and "Evil" Graham Lee from The Triffids is a cracker. New album Moments has been added to the shopping list. dubhed.blogspot.com/2025/11/cut-...

#90sTop30 Day 19 Billy Mackenzie The Mountains That You Climb I don't have the words to say what this song does to me. Recorded with Steve Aungle and available as part of the Satellite Life recordings 94-96. It's Billy at his rawest, maybe exposing his demons. Blimey. youtu.be/QxMF9zT6OpY?...

#MusicInMusic #MusicChallenge Bongos, Bleeps & Basslines (Raymond In Space Remix): Zero dB (2006) I could have gone for Cliff Richard as Bongo Herbert in 1959 movie Expresso Bongo, but this 21st century behemoth would not be denied. youtu.be/J75sxDOypbc?...

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge Beasley Street: John Cooper Clarke (1980) JCC with The Invisible Girls aka Vini Reilly (guitar), Steve Hopkins (piano), Dave Hassell (percussion) and Pete Shelley (tambourine). Superb. youtu.be/-4UOoONu8tc?...
