A Showdown: 1984
The showdown is between Eurythmics’ album 1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother) and Van Halen’s 1984, also known as MCMLXXXIV. And I’m not sure I can offer much in terms of a showdown – because all that happened was someone made the suggestion that I compare the two albums and then I fell in […]Archive

She-Bop – All The Best Tunes From The Best Women Making Pop Music: DJ Set
I’m a fan of the 1980s – I’m sure I’ve made that known plenty of times. So for a slight twist on an 80s DJ night I’ve decided to feature only the women. Solo artists, duets, lead singers in bands, cameos – it’s all about the female voice and those soaring anthems and power ballads […]Archive

Eurythmics, Revenge (1986) What a great run on side one, first three songs: Missionary Man, Thorn In My Side, When Tomorrow Comes – this is an album I know well from my childhood. Another of the albums that the whole family loved; that mum used to play very loud (and very often), accompanying vacuuming and […]Archive
