BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Tunnel Of Love
1987 Canada pressing

Another week gone.
Music time.

Bruce’s divorce album, with a ton of synths & drum machines.

I was 10 years old when this came out. I had heard of him and was quite aware of his music, but this was the first album of his that spoke to ME.

I remember the first time hearing “Brilliant Disguise” and thinking “That’s a great song.”
This is still my favorite Springsteen album all these years later.

Super Djata Band – Fadingna Kouma/Facia (live)

https://amf.didiermary.fr/super-djata-band-live-fadingna-kouma/

The Super Djata Band from Bamako, Mali, led by the late Zani Diabaté (on lead guitar), who died on January 4, 2011, from their 1984 concert in Angoulême, France. On balafon Zani Diabaté’s late brother Bakari, and singing, the great (but unfortunately also late) Daouda ‘Flani’ Sangaré and Alou Fané, with Idrissa Magassa. […]

What radio sounded like in the 80s. Rock Over London was a British show airing in the US featuring pop rock artists from the UK. To me, presenter Graham Dene was the UK equivalent to Casey Kasem.

RICK JAMES
Street Songs
1981 Germany pressing

Last spin of the night.

SO.

MUCH.

COCAINE.

It’s a hell of a drug.

PARIS WORKING
The Paris Working
1983 U.S. pressing

A blind gamble that paid off handsomely.

A short, but excellent #synthpop / #newwave listen.

These 5 songs were their ONLY songs, as it appears this was their only release.

A pretty obscure but fantastic little E.P. for fans of the genre.
The guitar work on “Pieces Of Heaven” is really great, and sounds like it could have been in an #80s John Hughes movie.

A shoutout to Minneapolis band The Replacements. On this day in 1989, they landed their first Number One hit on Billboard's Modern Rock Chart with "I'll Be You".
