Music
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Pandora’s Box I think OMD’s ‘90s output is generally dismissed, but this is a gorgeous slice of synth beauty. 🎶
Ramones-Ramones Haven’t listened to Ramones in ages. I’m a synth-head at heart, but this brand of punk/power-pop/however you want to refer to it is utterly brilliant. 🎶
Rather taken with this Laibach cover version🎶 Laibach - I Want To Know What Love Is
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips Revisiting this absolute classic. The perfect album? 🎶
Evocative cleaning music. Blade Runner - Original Score🎶
🎶Pa rum pa pum pum.🎶
Dollar Girl - OMD A cracking pop-song from one of their least-loved albums. ABBA-esque gorgeousness. 🎶
Gary Numan-Dream Corrosion (Live) I was obsessed with this on release. It’s odd to hear the tail end of Numan’s self-acknowledged wilderness years, before he rediscovered his spark, what made Numan Numan. 🎶
Watching ‘Elvis - Aloha From Hawaii’ Peak Presley. 🎶📺
Can’t get this song out of my head. Struttin’ - Thumpasaurus🎶
Just watched Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s performance on ‘Jools Holland’ from last-night. 🎶😍
Current position. 🎶
New Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark album day! Bauhaus Staircase🎶
Listening to this today. While I think it’s fair to say that other British synth-pop bands have a stronger back-catalogue, there’s no other band quite like either phase of The Human League. 🎶 The Human League Anthology.
OMD tickets secured, too. 🎶
Off to see the wonderful John Grant in November. 🎶
As much as I like my small working space, my recent urge to start doodling with music again proves tricky regarding the set up. 🎶🎹
