JOURNEY -I'll be alright without you

Love this part...

I do these things...

I keep holding on, but I'll try
(try not to think of you)

Flowers are long forgotten these days, but 'Icehouse' is one of the greatest of early 1980s singles, even though it sank without trace in the UK.

Now after years of fucked-up aspect ratios and duff audio, someone has finally uploaded a reasonable version to Youtube. Thirty five years on, it's still a very powerful record.

Solid tune. Can detect a strong Systems of Romance influence, which is never a bad thing as Gary Numan will tell you. Prophet V Rev. 2?

Currently dancing to this.

Sounds good, though it would be nice if it had a waveshaper - like Doepfer A-136 module or the Serge Wave Multiplier. That's always something I've wanted in an analogue polysynth.

Just stumbled upon this. I like it.

John Cooper Clark is standing in for Jarvis Cocker on 6 Music and was just playing this:


What the hell happened to Finley Quaye? He was briefly a breath of fresh air in the moribund British music scene. Last I'd heard, he'd blown his cash and was on trial for spitting in a woman's face.

Your choice of 'breath of fresh air' has childishly amused me, as I remember another musician who'd been around Quaye at a festival saying in an interview that he had horrendous BO.

A sad day for me. Interviewed Steve back in the 1980s long before he became another smalltown boy wrecked by heroin. No musician, but a great face.

Fade to Grey.  

Sad indeed. He seems to have had a rough few years at the end there.

Reminds me of Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle--industrial bliss. Australia had a pretty interesting new wave scene that's often forgotten about - Flash and the Pan, Icehouse, Real Life etc.

Agreed with him on social media, though Facebook is more comparable to a Ponzi scheme - businesses investing in ads, getting little in return, and Zuckerberg's revenue increasing.
