Friday on My Mind: Best Love Songs for Your Junior High School Valentine's Dance Circa 1982

Feb 10, 11:23am KEXP Blog
'80s - ABC - The look of Love.mpg
It's the Valentine's Day edition of Friday on My Mind . The weekly collaborative effort between KEXP and King 5 News. This Valentines Day give the person you love the gift of music. 1980's music, because nothing says I love you more than the gift of synthesizers, angular hair, brightly colored pants, tucked in shirts, and of coarse xylophones. Do you realize how many 80's bands had xylophones? Oh and white shoes. And the music videos seemed to have very little, if any, structure other than a small budget for a hair stylist and zero attention to [...]

[Introducing] – For Abel

Nov 10, 2011, 12:00pm Listen Before You Buy
[Introducing] – For Abel Tweet From the first spiky guitar licks of album-opener "Telephone" , it is proof-positive that For Abel is here to shake you out of bed. The insistent keyboards and rich power chords sound like the ideal opening track of a John Hughes film. They hit you straight in the nostalgia zone, and then keep on driving the message home via sharp waves of pure pop-rock bliss. If you're not thoroughly shaken up and onto the dance floor, the second track "I Want To See You Sway" [...]

4AD: Ghosts In The Closet

May 21, 2011, 3:10am WFMU's Beware of the Blog
By Jason Forrest As much a work of art as any record label could ever be, 4AD was a collaboration between two dudes with arty names: Ivo Watts-Russell and Vaughn Oliver. The label was started in 1980 when Watts-Russell was given the opportunity to start a label with a small budget dolled out from his bosses at Rough Trade - then a successful chain of record shops in London. [1] He and co-worker Peter Kent together released their first 7" and named [...]

FORECASTLE FORECAST: Modern English

FORECASTLE FORECAST: Modern English Modern English DAY 2: Saturday @ 1:00 - 1:45 on West Stage The summery hooks and warm lyrics of Modern English's biggest hit, "I Melt With You," gave listeners the impression that the band was an upbeat pop act in the early '80s. "I Melt With You" was actually an anomaly in Modern English's early discography. Inspired by the stylish gloom of Bauhaus and Joy Division, Modern English released the singles "Swans on Glass" and "Gathering Dust" before recording their 1981 debut LP Mesh & Lace. A year later, the [...]

Belle & Sebastian announce North American tour, return to Massey Hall

Jun 2, 2010, 8:32am Chromewaves
Belle & Sebastian announce North American tour, return to Massey Hall Reuben Cox I'd have gone to see them at the Sound Academy, where they last played in February 2006 , even though they swore never to return there. I'd have gone to see them again at the Kool Haus, where they made their first Toronto appearance in May 2002, finally making good on their cancelled debut at the Opera House way back in 1998. I'd have even gone to see them at an Arrow Hall filled with angry hornets. But Belle & Sebastian are finally returning to play the only [...]
