WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

Album of the Evening

Posted about 1 year ago
The long weekend begins today - and the weather here is crazy - and for some reason it all adds up to some Soft Cell grooving.this album has been a long-time favorite of mine, and while it's not really the kind of music that fits in with a lot of the other music i love and listen to, there seems to have always been a place for Marc Almond in my sonic journeys. This album is just wonderful and dark and moody and dancey - and it feels just perfect for a spring night that gets dark and rainy earlier than it should. let the TV flicker in the background, sit with a cocktail in hand and look out at the rain coming down, and think about lost loves and future hopes.

  1. Dale says Mmm, love this song especially. I need to pick up the newly released expanded version for "Insecure Me", if nothing else.

  2. gympumpkin says I hate to admit that before about 5 minutes ago the only Soft Cell song I had ever heard was Tainted Love, and that's a cover. Thanks for posting this.

  4. funoka says I used to do a pretty good mid-80s bop to this one.

  6. Dale says It's so unfair that they got pigeonholed as the band behind "Tainted Love", because their work, especially this album, was so rich. Dig the opening track, "Frustration".
