Remember them? Eighties pop icons Frankie Goes To Hollywood are one of the most notable pop groups of the '80s who didn't shy away from a little stir and controversy. Remember that gutsy American video for "Relax" by director Bernard...

You ever hear something and just wish you were a master turntabalist or producer. Here is a little bit of audio from the blog Heino und Jerry im Über Space (you can d/l it there) that is just screaming for one of you skilled Mog-sicians to put into a piece of music. Let me know if you use it and post the results. Flood , you still out there?

As a musical experiment I started playing about with concept of "Six Degrees Of Separation":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation on the site. Clicking on the closest musical link to the one before. Ended up with this musical journ...

*Frankie Goes To Hollywood: Two Tribes (1984)*What more can be said about this landmark electro ultra-gay synth-pop group than has already been said? Their first two singles went to the top of the charts while their first two accompanying videos were promptly banned all over Europe. Sounds like a good pop group to me.Lasting only shy of three years as a bonafide band, but leaving marks in the s...

.Relax (Body Double)..Frankie Goes to Hollywood (FGTH) was one of the most controversial and commercially successful UK new wave acts of the early 1980s. The group's debut single "Relax" was famously banned by the BBC while at number six in the charts, and subsequently topped the UK singles chart for five consecutive weeks, going on to enjoy prolonged chart success throughout 1984 and ultimatel...

Ok, ok, ok....so the real reason I'm writing this is to plug the next edition of my favorite radio show, The Dave After Tomorrow, on Atlanta's 92.9 Dave FM. It's gonna be all about soloists or band member's side projects.....think Ben Gibbard with Deathcab For Cutie AND The Postal Service....or Stevie Nicks with a solo AND Fleetwood Mac. It should be interesting to hear some unexpected artist...

1. Lou Reed, "I Love You, Suzanne." Lou has made some interesting music in the last 20+ years, but the deterioration in his vocals means we will probably never again hear a decent pop song from Lou Reed. Despite his greatness as a rock poet of darkness, Lou Reed is also capable of pop brilliance. On this track, you get his always-exquisite rhythm guitar work, perfect drumming from Fred Maher, a...
