In Part Two, the composers shed light on their professional resumes and their son, producer Eric Hudson.
"Holiday" kickstarted Madonna's career in 1983. The writers discuss the song's creation and working with the Queen of Pop.
New York collective Phenomenal Handclap Band return with their sophomore album, and it's a curious beast. You know when they travel to the future in the Bill and Ted films, and it's basically the 1980s except it's the future? That's pretty much what this album is. Except with the 1970s. And no Keanu Reeves, which is a shame. It's all disco grooves, funk guitar, layer cake production and vocal arrangements that sound like a computer has been fed a load of ABBA, Blondie and Scissor Sisters and programmed to compose something.

Motorhead's sixth live album is packed with great material, plus a DVD.
I've been having quite the musical crush on Gary Numan lately. Such a bummer that he got tagged with one-hot-wonderdom, because he produced a really nice string of dystopian/robotic/androgynous, yet quite catchy, music. In fact, I'd say as much as anyone he elaborated on Bowie's Low -era innovations. And with some glammy sass too. He could've the biggest star in a Blade Runner world. Songblague has previously given Numan a little of his due , [...]
Bobby Albert - Serving Hub City Rock from 1981-2012 Nobody knows the answer Why Bobby Albert Jr would one day wake-up on a cold January and decide The Court Tavern (124 Church St) would close it's doors forever. Maybe he got an offer he could not refuse - but I doubt it. Maybe the burden of a looming $60 thousand dollar bar license was just too huge an amount of hard swet and pride he was not willing to cough up one more time. The hole was just to big so he folded his hand. [...]

With a simple doorbell begins the album From A to B by New Musik . Something so familiar but incredibly listenable, danceable, singalong-able. Why haven't I heard this before? The glorious-but-lamentable discovery of something that existed all this time: a secret, just waiting to be found. Something that could make you so happy, something that could quite possibly change your life. And there it was. Just waiting. Secret music. A secret to the world, a secret to you. Or maybe just to you. Perhaps someone knew, and of course they did, because that's how it got to you. [...]

We haven't put up any straight up hardcore disco in a long time so here you go. It is impossible to put these joints on and not want to invite all the foos in the neighborhood over for a dance party; unless you live where I live, then again, OK it's a bad idea altogether. Just convince BT to throw a matinee party at his house in LA and go hang out in his heated pool. This Mandrill Jam reminds me or a mix between Tempest Trio's Do You Like The Way That It Feels [...]
howdy, again! i had a few requests for a re-upping of this show spanning back a few months and since i am not busy at the moment, i figured what the hell? anyway, here is a particularly cool soundboard recording of a prince show from columbia, sc all the way back in 1981. even i, a non prince fan, could get into this. 1. uptown 2. why you want to treat me so bad 3. sexy dancer 4.

Here's an eye-catching claim : N-Dubz' Fazer is set to work with Phil Collins. "Everyone will be expecting I'm going to work with Tinie Tempah, Tinchy Stryder and Chipmunk, but I want to do something musically credible that opens me up to different markets. "I'm going to work with Phil Collins." To be frank, we'd not really expect Tinie, Tinchy or Chipmunk to be rushing to work with Fazer - why would you trade down like that? But the Collins claim is fascinating. Given that Phil Collins has retired from music . [...]
robert palmer - "johnny and mary" (download) Yep, this is from the same late rocker who brought hits like "Addicted to Love," "Simply Irresistible," and "Doctor, Doctor (Give Me the News)," as well as a member of the 802s band Power Station . This record, Clues , came out in 1980, long before he became a household name because of his MTV hits. This record veered more in a new wave/synth pop direction, often reaching Gary Numan -esque moments. [...]
