DAVID BOWIE - THE STARS (ARE OUT TONIGHT) (new music)

Hello and welcome back......David Bowie is back, His latest single is called "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" and is from Davids new album "The Next Day" due for release on March 8 2013.

A strange video for "The Stars" but from the moment you hear the song, you know it pure Bowie....
The video also stars Australian model "Andrej Pejic".
This is the second single from Bowie's new album, the first single is called "Where Are We Now" and is more of a moody song.
I'ts great to see another 70s/80s music artist make their way to the come back trail. Excellent.

ADEVA - adeva

Hello and welcome back... Patrica Daniels aka "Adeva" was a director & vocal coach in her local church choir before she became one of the best late 80s singers. For me she kinda reminds me of "Grace Jones" a bit, with the strong vocals and high hair... Her self titled album was let loose in 1989 and had a string of hits including "respect", "treat me right", "i thank you" and my pick of the album .. "warning"... Love the lyrics and the punchy synths..the in-sync dancers and smooth vocals.. They don't write stuff like this anymore..Enjoy.

Track listing =

1 = respect


2 = treat me right


3 = i thank you


4 = so right


5 = in & out of my life


6 = warning


7 = i don't need you


8 = beautiful love


9 = promises


10 - musical freedom


Simply brilliant... CLICK HERE to Download "Warning" and more from my Mixtape series...... Enjoy

STARLIGHT - NUMERO UNO (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back......Italo House music was booming in 1989 and this song was a huge part of it. Numero Uno was released in 1988 by the "Starlight Invention Group - Numero Uno" with music samples of Aretha Franklin & Rose Royce, but apon its re-release in 89 they redid the lyrics so that legal problems did not arise.
Clubs across Europe loved this song, reaching no 6 in the UK music charts.
Awesome song.








STARLIGHT - NUMERO UNO

THE BUREAU - ONLY FOR SHEEP (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back..... A one hit wonder in 1981 for UK band "The Bureau", Only for Sheep made it to No6 in the Australian music charts..... Yes folks, we loved this song while the rest of the world.... well, didn't.
Ex Dexy's Midnight Runner bass player (Pete Williams) is one of the band members of The Bureau as was their manager after allegedly sacking Kevin Rowland (Dexy's Lead singer).....5 other band members also left Dexy's,.... Hire some new band members, dress them up as Sheep for a video and the rest is history.

When the band members of "The Bureau" asked the Sheep what they thought of the song, the sheep replied........  Bahahahahahahahahahah





ONLY FOR SHEEP LYRICS (everybody sing)

That man is in pain and he's shouting so loud
There's a space all around him a space in the crowd
He is holding his head like it's gonna explode

It's part of a new meaning
From deep in his soul

It is only for Sheep
only for sheep, for sheep
Yeah
Cos when you're awake you're a sheep
Yeah

You show us a new way you sound so sincere
How sweet it must be to be able to think so clear
But you are just another in a long line of fools

Giving us freedom
With a new set of rules

It is only for Sheep
only for sheep, for sheep
Yeah
Cos when you're awake then you're a sheep
Yeah

It is only for Sheep
only for sheep, for sheep
Yeah
When you're awake then you're a sheep, asleep
Yeah

That man is in pain and he's shouting so loud
There's a space all around him a space in the crowd
He is holding his head like it's gonna explode

It's part of a new meaning
From deep in his soul

It is only for sheep
only for sheep, for sheep
Yeah
When you're awake you're a sheep
Yeah

It's only it's only it's only for sheep
only for sheep, for sheep
Yeah
When you're awake you're sheep


Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, it's only for sheep
Only for sheep
For sheep, yeah

When you're awake you're a sheep
Yeah
Yeeeaahh
Only for sheep only for sheep

SONY TAPES

Hello and welcome back..... I really miss these tapes, the sound quality was excellent and they were portable. I used to buy the chrome UX tapes...sounded amazing, I miss those days.

JOHN WAITE - MISSING YOU (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back....I still remember when I first heard this song, I had received a AIWA Walkman for Christmas in 1984, It was one of the most memorable moments in my life....The first introduction to stereo music and this song made it so much better.
English singer John Waite was also a singer in the band "Bad English" (think "When I see you Smile"),he was also in the 70s band "The Babys"
John Waite is a extremely talented singer and has released 10 solo albums
 The song "Missing you" went to No1 in the US music charts and was one of those songs that you could sing to, I love this song.

They don't make songs like this anymore.





MISSING YOU      Thanks to EMImusic for the video



BAD ENGLISH - WHEN I SEE YOU SMILE    (check out the hair) - THANKS to BadEnglishVevo for the video.

HEAR THIS

Hello and welcome back..... Look how chunky our sound systems were back in 1989, this advertisement was from a Brashes music store magazine. Also pictured is a 6 stack CD player both from Pioneer.....so Primitive.

ICEHOUSE - WHATS BEHIND A SONG?

Hello and welcome back..... Often a song is written because of love, love problems or an experience in life.
I find this information interesting because it gives you an idea about how a band first started, other band members and where they came from (including other bands) and problems that cropped up.
I love the band Icehouse, they were one of the first bands to use a Fairlight Synthersizer, but how did they get their name.... They used to be called "Flowers".
I found this article in a magazine back in 1989 from Brashes, a music store similar to HMV and Virgin. A very interesting story
Enjoy.

KYLIE MOLE - SO EXCELLENT (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back..... The Comedy Company was responsible for this "Excellent" song, the brain child of Mary-anne Fahey.
Kylie Mole was basically a not so happy school girl who spoke Bogan (Australian slang) and had a dislike for a girl called Amanda and had the hots for Dino (Not the Dinosaur) - a boy called Dino
This song actually made it to No8 on the 1989 Australian music charts.
Excellent

TOM PETTY - DON'T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back.....A strange video for this 1985 hit from Tom Petty as it follows a Alice in Wonderland theme (Think there is something more than tea in those cups)..... Did I mention Alice gets eaten in the end.... Still its an awesome song.

I recently heard this song in the movie "We Brought a Zoo", Its great to hear a song that you know ..... And yes folks, I cried at the end.
But that's just me.
Its an excellent movie.
