Simple Minds - Sister Feelings Call. About as Eighties as it gets really. Hold on though. Produced by Steve Hillage?? Fae Gong Hillage? :laugh:. Never mind, he accentuates their strengths (Forbes) amiably enough. Now where's that teapot flown off to? :behindsofa:

I also listened to Husker Du's Zen Arcade.
A record I have lived with for a long time. One of the first double albums that I bought. Only the Swindle ST and It's Alive and that Flux album that I am not typing :lol: (the second one ;)) before that. Ahem. Wait till I go on about Junkyard :laugh:

The Birthday Party - Junkyard
 

Da da dadada dah! RIGHT!!!! :lol:

Released in 1982 to tumultuous silence, as people would rather have bought Rio it seems, it being a pleasant piece of aural wallpaper and all that. This however demands your puny attention weakling ahem. i still hear something new in it. He may have gone on to more conventional work, but this crazed blend of Beefheart, James Brown and Flannery O'Connor is still a rather super ear scraper. Hear for yourselves ....

I could never get into them myself, bit to Avant Garde for my liking...no songs about zombies or fights in disco's..

:laugh:

No, just your average parade of freaks. Such nice middle class boys as well. Tracey Pew still my favourite bass player etc. I just love noise. Whether it's Ayler or Abruptum ... discordance gets my vote. Ahem.

A bit of nostalgia. I remember when this was released, I was working in Dixons.
Another guy who worked there came back after lunch with the record. The sleeve was the one in the video. He said he really fancied the girl at the bottom holding her hat. Ha ha!

Not my favourite, but growing up with two siblings and one of them loved this song
