Pete Burns is going to Liverpool - the first time since 1992 - at the request of Julian Cope. He's going to play a night celebrating Erics, but he stresses that he wouldn't normally do this sort of thing : "It seems I'm part of the Liverpool scene after all these years. It was a shame that wasn't the case when I was there." Pete pauses for a second, and reflects a little sadly. "I suppose things are always different in hindsight. "It's difficult for me to feel anything about it. It's all so long [...]

Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) Quelques secondes ont suffit. Les fans ont envahit le terrain, un cratère l'a rendu impraticable et Donna Summer n'est desormais plus qu'un lointain souvenir pour Antonio. Il tente de se frayer un chemin parmi les supporters enragés qui mettent le feu au stade et volent les bases du terrain de baseball. Alors que la Police essaie de contenir l'émeute, Antonio, bravant la foule et franchissant le mur [...]
Scholastic's Dynamite used to run a regular feature titled "Super-Heroes Confidential," much adored by my younger self yet completely forgotten about until I flipped through the recently purchased stack of mid-1970's issues of the defunct kiddie magazine. It was a pretty nifty (and corporately ecumenical) method of genre evangelism from a time when kids were still the primary target audience for superhero comics. Each installment spotlighted a specific superhero -- mostly Marvel and DC characters, though I vaguely remember some representatives of the King Features comic strip stable getting face time -- with a smartly recolored [...]

"You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" is a song originally released by Dead or Alive on their 1985 album Youthquake. This song was the first UK number-one hit for the Stock Aitken Waterman production trio. Originally released in November 1984, the record reached number one in March 1985, taking seventeen weeks to get there. In the US, the single peaked at #11 in September of that same year. http://audioscreen.blogspot.co m/

Whazzzup Versus fans my name is Michael and I run the mp3 blog Your Only Friends . We pretty much cover the same stuff as Versus minus 90's Friday and we have got allot more grammatical errors. The Versus crew was kind enough to give me 20 seconds to whore my site Your Only Friends and drop some mp3z. Kill To Win have been posted here once before and if you haven't checked them out do so because you'll be downloading aplenty once these two release what they've been workin [...]

E correndo seriamente o risco de ser expulsa deste blog ou apenas perto de transformá-lo numa pista de dança ali para os lados do Cais do Sodré, estamos em 1985 e temos esta música que curiosamente só há pouco tempo descobri (e também devido a uma outra pista dançante esta mais para os lados de Santos). Os Dead or Alive cumprem à risca quase todos os standards de banda dos anos 80. Onda New Wave, sintetizadores em loop, vocalista de sexualidade dúbia e muito, mas mesmo muito, maus cabelos. Também são de Liverpool, o que nos deixa [...]

In honor of Vinyl Record Day on Sunday (the 130th anniversary of Thomas Edison 's invention of the phonograph), JB over at The Hits Just Keep on Comin' has organized a "blog swarm" of posts dedicated to the once dominant medium of vinyl records. I'm proud to be part of this swarm, so after you check out this post, be sure to click around to JB's site for the main post, as well as the other great blogs involved (links down below). Vinyl. LP's. Records. Time marches on, and the music listening public [...]

Well, hello there. Nice to see you. What's that? Lost B-sides Week was last week? I haven't posted anything since? I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. Ahem. Moving on... Dead or Alive's "Misty Circles" had a strange trip to becoming a b-side. It was originally the first a-side the band released after signing to Epic Records, but after peaking at a stellar #100 on the UK Singles Chart, well...what can ya do. A year later, the extended version found its way to the b-side [...]
Welcome to blog radio volume eight. I would be silly not to call this post, "the ocho." Crop Circle - Message from Aliens or from Bored Pranksters? And so there it is. I usually save these blog radio spots for the weekends, but I have heard so many tracks this week that I was into - I just couldn't wait. These songs, by the way - for new visitors, are what I am listening to and where whimsy
