I used to listen to the first two Culture Club albums on YouTube regularly at one time, having discovered them only a few years ago. This is their 1982 debut, Kissing to be Clever. I used to listen to the slightly later US release with a different track list but this earlier UK version is far more satisfying, ending with "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" instead of opening with it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_to_Be_Clever

Favorite (kinda) Culture Club song - "Church Of The Poison Mind". Nice beat. Yes indeed, a great opener to side two of Colour by Numbers. I see there's a track missing from the album I played. The gorgeous "Time (Clock Of The Heart)" was added to later pressings.

From the early days of MTV, a great song by The Lords Of The New Church and a great lead vocal from the late Stiv Bators:

Last month I went to The ARChive of Contemporary Music's holiday record sale. I picked up a vinyl copy of Joesph Lamb's A STUDY IN CLASSIC RAGTIME on Folkways Records. The album was recorded in his home in the '50's. I very recently got a chance to listen to it.
This is THE ALASKAN RAG:

I am fascinated by yodeling. Currently I am listening to a lot of huapango/son huasteca - vocalists employ yodeling in their singing. I loved Leon Thomas's work with Pharoah Sanders. And the music of the Baka people is beautiful.

Interesting info, sbonilla. I shall check Baka people with huapango. It's new to me in yodelling.

Over the past few months I've been increasingly listening to spotify instead of my records. I've decided that one of my new years resolutions is to unlazify my listening and actively engage with my record collection again. So... I've just finished listening to The Soft Parade by the Doors, and now I'm on to This Year's Model by Elvis Costello.

For my 100th post, I submit one of my favorite buried gems from the psychedelic era. Congrats, @iluvleniloud! Very cool track. Thanks for that. The manic organ reminds me in some ways of The Curiosity Shoppe's "Baby I Need You":

For my 100th post, I submit one of my favorite buried gems from the psychedelic era. A great one. Hunger! - don't forget the exclamation point - was a one-album wonder, psychedelic band from Oregon who migrated to L.A. and tried to make it there. They played the club scene and actually opened for The Doors. They released one album and self-destructed, but good stuff here. Love the sound.

Back in the 1990s the receptions band I was in used to accompany "artistes". Generally speaking, these were either unknown (in many cases deservedly so) or had had their moment in the sun and were doing wedding and office receptions to make ends meet. One act that fell into the second category was Maywood, a female singing duo who'd had a few minor national hits. We accompanied them several times and they invariably opened with this song by Frankie Valli (I was reminded of it while reading online last night):

@iluvleniloud: I never thought I'd ever find myself listening to music in this genre--and enjoying it! I guess it takes an extramusical connection to make it work for me. Same with the OST of the 2013 filming of The Great Gatsby: I even lent an ear to "Bang Bang" by will.i.am the other day. Who would have thought it? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_Into_the_Spider-Verse_(soundtrack)

"Pollyanna", 1960 film s/track. Would like to see the 1920s film "Pollyanna". Beach Boys Fan: Here you go:

Agree, youtube has everything. You're a funny one. How about a simple "thank you"?

I make no secret of the fact that I'm a big fan of Gary Numan, particularly the early stuff. Replicas has a beguiling if vaguely ominous lo-fi sci-fi feel to it. This is "Down In The Park", which closes side one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicas_(album)

One of my all-time favorites! Lovely song. I seem to remember you linking this at PSF. @iluvleniloud: This really is your era, wouldn't you say? In the early days of pop it would have been unthinkable for someone to like music from two decades before they were born.

jk . yeah it is I like stuff from other eras too, like I can get into funk with Parliament or some early hip hop and the ocassional one-off tracks from the 2000s. But I think the best decade for music was 1965-1975.

Been on this 80's MTV kick lately. Here's a song which got a lot of airplay in 1982 - Romeo Void "Never Say Never":
