CONNIE MITCHELL - BIG (Live on Rockwiz) (Sounds like the 80s)

Hello and welcome back.... Being a huge fan of the music series "Rockwiz" (Australian Music Show), I loved the song by Connie Mitchell with the song "Big".
Connie is from the band "Sneaky Sound System", Not only does Connie look and sound amazing, the team from Rockwiz do an stellar job with the Live sound with snappy synth playing.... One word "Stunning"

ALAN MYERS (Drummer for DEVO) HAS DIED

Hello and welcome back..... Sad news today, Alan Myers, Drummer in the Electronic band "Devo" has died of  Stomach Cancer, he was only 58.
Alan was with the band from 1976 - 1986 and was often referred to as the Human Metronome, because his timing was similar to that of a drum machine.

R.I.P. Alan

JANE CLIFTON - GIRL IN THE MIRROR (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back..... Lead singer from the Australian Band "Jo Jo Zepp & the Falcons" (think Taxi Mary) & the "Stiletto's", Jane Clifton was also know for her stint on TV series "Prisoner" (Margo Gaffney).
I love this song, its got gritty, slap in the face lyrics, She may be big-bottomed,short-legged & her nose is out of place...perhaps may not look like the girl on the wall...at all. Excellent song.

PASSENGER - LET HER GO (New Music)

Hello and welcome back.....Ok, so its not 80s...But it does have a Synthesizer in it so we're half way there. This blokes voice blows me away, every time I hear it...U.K singer / songwriter "Passenger" - Let Her Go....I remain speechless.

PASSENGER - LET HER GO  (Thanks to Passengermusic for the video)


Sometimes I find it hard to listen to this song without a tear in my eye, Its just Beautiful....But, Thats me.

                                                                LET HER GO
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh)
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh)
Well you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

KEBU - CROCKETTS THEME

Hello and welcome back, This is a remake of Jan Hammer's "Crockets Theme", A song made famous in the 80s TV series Miami Vice.

Kebu (Sebastian Teir) creates new instrumental, melodical synthesizer music of the kind that was made in the 70’s and 80’s using only analog synthesizers.

Equipment used in this song: Korg Polysix, Poly 61 (through a SansAmp GT2), Mono/Poly, Micro-preset M500; Roland TR-808, Jomox AirBase99, Juno 60, Alpha Juno 1&2; Touched-by-sound DRM1, Oberheim Matrix 6R, Yamaha RM1x (only for MIDI sequencing), Behringer DDX3216, Lexicon MPX500, as well as a midi patchbay and additional preamps for my mixer. Cameras: Canon HF100 (x2) and HF200.

Kebu has a new album out called "To Jupiter and Back" and is well worth a listen...Stunning Sounds.

This bloke blows my mind, If I could play half of what he does I would be a happy man :) ..Enjoy
