A mixed bag today.

China Crisis - Warped By Success
Marc Cohn - Marc Cohn
The Leisure Society - The Sleeper

Talking about China Crisis. The 2 CD version of The Collection is great for it's B-sides. I found the second disc more entertaining than the first disc with all the hits. I was playing it the other day and tracks like Scream Down At Me, Watching Over Burning Fields, Greenacre Bay, Dockland, A Golden Handshake For Every Daughter etc are refreshing as can be.

A band I had completely forgotten about is the NYC new wave band that went totally mainstream in the late 70s and early 80s: Blondie. As I'm quite familiar with their smash hits I just treated myself to a small selection of some lesser known tracks but still great tracks from youTube: Scenery, Angels On A Balcony, Fan Mail, In the Sun, Contact In Red Square, Accidents Never Happen and ended up with the very powerful Union City Blue . That's enough pop for the day!

Chris

an unhealthy amount of Japan ('79-'80), Duran ('81) and Foxx ('81) and various bits from Numan

At this very moment: "Retro Future"

Loads of Urevox - I am even re-evaluating QUARTET

I'm wild and scheming with Arcadia's So Red The Rose

Is that the new version Garry?
