"I was in New York trying to produce Foreigner when Thereza Bazar from Dollar rang to tell me she was hanging out with Godley & Creme in the bar at the Meridien, and asked if I’d like to come over. Someone in the Foreigner crew had been trying to turn me on to ZZ Top by making me smoke this really strong weed called “Thunderfuck”, so I was pretty spaced out. Kevin and Lol said: “Don’t worry, so are we.” - Trevor Horn

Vorhin zufällig mal wieder darüber gestolpert und festgestellt, dass ich das ja noch nie live umgesetzt gesehen und gehört habe. Lange ist's her, doch schon alleine die Bassläufe … … immer noch hypnotisch und nichts zum Stillsitzen: Frankie Goes to Hollywood ft. Steve Howe - Welcome to the Pleasuredome

#NowListening: #Seal (1994)

I always hate it when artists name their albums the same, this is the second album called Seal. This really fucks with my last.fm so I renamed my scrobbles of this one to Seal II. The album is decent, I think, nothing super duper memorable apart from the hit single Kiss From A Rose, which is catchy and stuck in my head, but I wouldn't go out of my way to praise it as it's not really my style.

I wonder what would have happened if The Image Of A Group had decided to plough their own furrow rather than acquiring the rights to the name "Art of Noise"? I am not really a fan of them, they didn't really sound like Art of Noise, and their #Debussy-esque creations weren't as good as the original conposer, but their debut album was interesting.

On this day 45 years ago, ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ by The Buggles was at #1. It was also the first video played on MTV.

“They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see”
