“Only Shallow” kicks things off with a bang – four of them, to be precise – with O’Ciosoig’s iconic snare attack serving as a battle cry before being joined by the beatific jet engine of MBV’s sheets of sound, less a rock band than a turbulent sea set ablaze by a red and pink sunset. I got to do a track-by-track breakdown of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, my favourite album in the whole world for over a decade, for Spectrum Culture. Pretty stoked on this one!

Talk, Talk, Talk, The Psychedelic Furs. 1981

Smash Hits Review

“One of the most exciting sounds in contemporary rock...Rep's lyrics are...a mixture of the genius and inept. Well worth a place on your turntable” 8/10

Mark Ellen

1001 Albums to Hear Before You Die

"Talk, Talk, Talk is their finest moment. Their influence can be traced across the spectrum, with elements of their approach appearing in everything from Ryan Adams to the vocal style of VNV Nation. ..One of the most significant, but underrated British rock bands of the 1980s."

Over the last couple years I have been chipping away at 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die Book by Robert Dimery.

I am currently at 651 out of 1,001, not including albums I have heard before but want to listen to again.

Every now and then there will be an album that blows me away.

William Orbit's Strange Cargo III (1993) is one of them.

4 out of 5 stars

Japan - Quiet Life "JAPAN releases the LP "Quiet Life" on Hansa Records in England. Tracks on the new album are "Fall In Love With Me," "Desperate," "In-Vogue," "Halloween," "Alien," "The Other Side Of Life," and the title track "Quiet Life." There is also a cover of the Velvet Underground song "All Tomorrow's Parties." The LP marks the change in Japan as a guitar-glam band, to more of an electronic funk inspired group. Reviewing the Lp, Sounds magazine said, "You never know quite what to expect with Japan. In a seemingly ceaseless quest for success, their short career has to date spanned at least four markedly different musical styles. And yet somehow, despite the often calculated, contrived nature of these moves, the band have never become victims of the changes..... While I'm unsure that Japan will ever become a 'major act' (this despite the 'big in '80' predictions currently being bandied about) 'Quiet Life' is already an album of the year. And this with the current 12 months barely four days old. Believe it." - Post-Punk Diary, George Gimarc . #Japan #QuietLife #OnThisDay #MusicHistory #PostPunk #OnThisDay #OnThisDayInMusicHistory #PostPunkHistory #Glam #GlamRock #January4 #January41980 #1980 #80s #80sMusic #1001Albums #1001AlbumsYouMustHearBeforeYouDie #440 #PostPunkDiary #PostPunkChronicles #NewRomantic #DavidSylvian #RichardBarbieri #RobDean #MickKarn #StevenJansen #SimonBell #AllTomorrowsParties #MusicJournalism #JSimpson https://www.instagram.com/p/CJpmhepIRr2/?igshid=1pxbi7ngfzlif

Apparently I'm about the only one who didn't own a copy of this. Gotta thank @grumpso for the daily inspiration. Got this on ebay. Its an older version (2004) but in like new condition, hardcover for five bucks, I couldn't resist. Looks to be an interesting conversation starter. #vinyl #VinylIGClub #1001Albums

Go-Go's - Beauty And The Beat (1981) Grade: 8.3 Favorite Tracks: Our Lips Are Sealed; Lust To Love

An album that comes on the heels of B-52's self-titled and before hair metal and Madonna took over America, this album finds itself right in the intersection with a great sound.

The Temptations, All Directions

1972: Lucky enough to own this amazing record on vinyl. Laid back and super soulful.

Album 1: In the Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra

A Wee Small bit of history: This is Sinatra's ninth album. As a parallel to much of his romantic, woo-ing music, In the Wee Small Hours is a concept album about heartbreak, depression, loneliness, and melancholy. 1955, Capitol Records.

It's not your average Sinatra, but I think I liked it more because of it. Maybe my existence just leans a bit more towards the melancholy, but I want to listen to this while I drink red wine after dark or drink slightly too strong coffee before everyone else is awake.

This has all of the perfect aspects of sad bastard music, with that lovely '50s orchestra accompaniment. I find myself wanting to have and to lose a lover just so that I'll feel this on a baser level.

More than slightly jazzy with a dash of slow swing, this one is a keeper. Personal favorites from the track list are "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning", "Can't We Be Friends" "Last Night When We Were Young", and "Ill Wind".
