#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #Yazoo "State Farm" (1983) was released as the B-side of the “Nobody’s Diary” single. It's still a banger 42 years later.

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #INXS "Don't Change" (1982) made INXS internationally famous, and is still my favorite track by the band. The opening guitar riff instantly transports me back in time.

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #TheLoverSpeaks "No More I Love You's" (1986) was a commercial failure for English duo The Lover Speaks, but something about the song and moody video (directed by a young Matt Mahurin) connects with me. Annie Lennox covered the song in 1996 and had a modest hit.

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #ThePrimitives I saw The Primitives open for Sugarcubes in Seattle, and I was instantly hooked. "Crash" (1988) should have been a bigger hit in the U.S.

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #MissingPersons Two years before their breakout hits, Missing Persons released this New Wave gem, which showcases Dale's astonishing voice.

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #DepecheMode Depeche Mode "Never Let Me Down Again" (1987) Still my favorite DM song. I listened to the MUSIC FOR THE MASSES album so many times that my cassette tape broke.

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #PetShopBoys Pet Shop Boys "Love Comes Quickly" (1986) I have a vivid memory of hearing this gorgeous, romantic track for the first time in a disco in Ibiza during a "cheap and cheerful" vacation with friends. I wished the music would go on and on and on.

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #Blancmange Blancmange "The Day Before You Came" (1984) I assume Blancmange is gently poking fun at ABBA with this cover (released only two years after the original), but their version is so reverential that it's hard to tell.

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #RomeoVoid Romeo Void "Never Say Never" (1981) This track still sounds innovative and fresh 44 years later. 𝘐 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #TheBravery The Bravery "An Honest Mistake" There was a brief new wave resurgence in the mid aughts, and The Bravery were the best example. New new wave? Neo new wave?

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #Frida Frida "I Know There's Something Going On" (1982) I'm not particularly a Phil Collins fan, yet his percussion and production offer an ideal setting for Frida's distinctive vocals. I still love this song.

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #KimWilde "Kids In America" (1981) As a teenager, I sat next to Kim Wilde on an airport shuttle, and was so star-struck I could barely breathe. If you haven’t heard her recent recordings, you should check them out — she still sounds great.

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #Eurythmics Now that “Sweet Dreams” is played on easy listening radio stations, it’s easy to forget how transgressive Annie and Dave seemed in 1983. 𝘑𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘳, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳

#NewWaveNovember #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #Freur Freur were a Welsh new wave band that went on to form the electronic band Underworld. "Doot-Doot" (1983) is relatively obscure, but I've always loved it.

How will you spend your weekend? I'll go first: * Walk around Silver Lake reservoir and listen to Alice Winn's novel IN MEMORIAM (it started slow, but now I'm into it). * Continue revising chapter one of my novel. * Clean the $#@%&! garage. * Meet friends for dinner al fresco at Bacari. #TGIF

I'm loving Stuart Murdoch's debut novel. Have you read it? "The lead singer and songwriter for the iconic Glasgow-based band Belle and Sebastian, pens a sensitive and intimate account of dark days leading to light and a coming of age through music." #BookSky #BelleAndSebastian #StuartMurdoch

Adam Ross' PLAYWORD was occasionally a slog at 528 pages, but ultimately worth the effort. Have you read it? "A gorgeous cat's cradle of a book . . . The swirling vapors of Holden Caulfield are present in Playworld, for sure, but also Lolita, Willy Loman, Garp." #playworld #adamross #booksky

#MusicChallenge #5CoverSongsFaves Day 2: Cover: Damien Rice "One" Original: U2 There’s no improving on the original, but Damien Rice’s slight rewriting of “One” (“You’ve got someone to blame” becomes “I’ve got someone…") is an opportunity to hear the lyrics with fresh ears. #DamienRice #U2

Out and about last night, I heard Jacques Lu Cont’s extraordinary "Thin White Duke Mix" of The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside.” Lu Cont (Stuart Price) transforms the alt-rock song into a hypnotic rumination on loss.  “I never… I never… I never...” What do you think? #MusicSky #TheKillers #MrBrightside

4/10 - 80s Film Rewind I’m a geek who can recite Rutger Hauer’s “Tears in Rain” monologue verbatim. BLADE RUNNER (1982) is dystopian but also a poignant exploration of what it means to be human. Have you seen Ridley Scott's 2007 "Final Edit"? #MovieSky #BladeRunner #RidleyScott #HarrisonFord

Author friends, what is your favorite book about the craft of writing? Mine is Anne Lamott's BIRD BY BIRD, which contains this gem: “You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.” #AnneLamott #BookSky
