A total forgotten classic New Wave/Post-Punk-Pop club gem. Wide Boy Awake was Kevin Mooney, bassist for Adam and the Ants on his iconic 'Kings of the Wild Frontier' album. They only released a few EP's and 12″s but never an album before dissolving. Slang Teacher was the B-Side to the cheeseball track 'Chicken Outlaw' and god only knows why they didnt just stick to this style. Next to impossible to find in a digital format, the other Wide Boy Awake track that I could never tire of is 'Billy Hyena', released in 1984 and still [...]
It's the underlying element that lifts a track up to a monster groove. It's the spine of the song. It can be deep and dark, or it can be grinning right along with you. It's the slap bassline. 1. Move On (Mutant Dance Move) - Fashion A B-Side from one of the 80's best forgotten dark New Wave albums, Fabrique by Fashion .

I can pinpoint three things in particular that formed my musical identity during my impressionable teen years, circa 1981-89: 1. MTV (like it or not), 2. WOBC 91.5-FM, the tiny radio station hidden in Lorain County, Ohio on the Oberlin College campus, where the playlist included bands like Echo & The Bunnymen, the Smiths and Thomas Dolby when they were still considered “experimentalâ€, 3. And the Nine of Clubs, a dirty, tiny little bar/club in downtown Cleveland with an even tinier dance floor and the best DJs I’ve ever heard spin. I consider the Nine of [...]
My favorite field trips in elementary school were visits to the local zoo. I was always fascinated by how many different kinds of animals there were on this planet. So, for the next two days, we're going on a field trip to a zoo - an audio zoo.
