#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ABC | The Lexicon of Love | 1982 @ no.5 “Many Happy Returns” “Like the world spinning 'round on its axis / I know democracy, but I know what's fascist” So do I Martin. So do I. youtu.be/Kt86TUJIeTo?...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ABC | The Lexicon of Love | 1982 @ no.6 “Date Stamp” “Love has no guarantee”. Appropriately enough, given this track’s classy extended metaphor, we’re getting into the album’s ’business end’. youtu.be/JjX0xPfQvDU?...

#ArtistFaveLP ABC | The Lexicon of Love | 1982 @ no.7 “Show Me” “These are the diamonds, These are the curls, These are the things that you took from this world …” This track is all about the final 20 seconds which, with great drama, deliver you to the next. youtu.be/zLdfnnN-UVQ?...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ABC | The Lexicon of Love | 1982 @ no.8 “Tears Are Not Enough” Perhaps not as lyrically engaging as other tracks on the LP. More of a funky work-out really. youtu.be/NyO9H2AUuZ8?...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ABC | The Lexicon of Love | 1982 @ no.9 “4 Ever 2 Gether” Lyrical smarts ✔️ Irritating vocal treatment ✔️ (Sometimes because you can, doesn’t mean you should.) youtu.be/uwLDF7LiJlk?...

Big thanks to all who rocked up to last Tuesday’s CRC 🖤🎶 Next month’s featured LP will be Peter Gabriel’s self-titled 3rd aka ‘Melt’. See you on the 21st.

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ABC | The Lexicon of Love | 1982 @ no.10 “The Look of Love, Pt.4” But only because it’s too short. It’s perfect in every other respect, of course. youtu.be/BxMq3xAB-QA?...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge Starts tomorrow … “When I accepted this job, I was resigned to my fate ..” 😉

Live now The Cutting Edge on strangerradio.mixlr.com/events/4534621 Before the show officially starts at 7,30 - with better joy and their track This Part of Town 25 mins or so of playlist shuffle
