"Come to Me" has such a lush and delicious vibe to it, and was thinking about how Cibo Matto managed to capture some of that feeling the following year with "Sugar Water"... Michel Gondry worked with both to come up with some amazing music videos as well.

  Fri. 1/15/16 4:55pm P-90:

@Disco King: he even managed to alienate himself at that point, for the rest of his life he never stopped "disowning" the Let's Dance/Glass Spider era. But: if you're Bowie, your "embarrassments" can be better that a lot of other artist's "successes"...
Avatar ♥   Fri. 1/15/16 4:56pm Guido from Cologne:

"Gomelsky produced" does not say much.
He managed, and took the tapes to paris in order to bootleg the track on BYG-Records and other Charly precursors. I don't think he did sth. technickally.
  Fri. 1/15/16 4:56pm The Disco King:

Unfortunately, I started to become aware musically right around the Let's Dance era. Which was more than enough to deter one from digging behind the 8 or 9 hits from the 70s one heard incessantly on "album-oriented rock" stations at the time (and hence, from uncovering the true genius of his work during that era, which lay behind those major hits).

So wonderful to hear I Can Hear Music! And Bjork. And Bowie :(

@JakeGould Well, I was only 12 at the time, so I didn't have any. But because I developed a love for David Bowie from those songs, I was put on a path to later acquire some Velvet Underground records.

@modchick65: Pretty much in agreement; I was a teen in 1983 anyway so pop is pop. That album led to me getting “Changes One” and “Changes Two” and then lead me to other things.

@JakeGould. Totally. That said, while I love records like Low and Scary Monsters, "Modern Love" remains probably my favorite song by him... just because of the time/place memories.

@sheilab - i was tuned in via the app for that last set -- bowie/adorables/etta james were great back-to-back-to-back! I hadn't heard The Adorables before...

we should use this album cover as inspiration to get naked in the woods more often this year... maybe wait until its a bit warmer, for best results

Sheila, i recommend a film called "The Cuckoo." ps welcome to the world of Gong!

Gong is tight but the first Gilli Smyth solo LP is where it's at if you ask me!

Thank you @SwanGone, I can't wait to dig into this new world of Gong + Gilli Smyth.

@Guido - right, the last thing we should do is be resentful of artists for making money once in a while. Especially when nearly all of them have had their share of rough times, $-wise.

Thanks @listener Monica. Will check it out.

I think flipside of "Puppet" is one of her greatest ("Had A Dream last Night"), kind of soft ska with bossa feel on it

Ha. I learned about Dusty Springfield from the Pet Shop Boys. But I didn't really like that song. That song was like the Berlin "Take My Breath Away" of the Pet Shop Boys.

Sheila, you're the anti-me. That's probably a good thing.

She might have been my intro to Dusty Springfield, too, which the Pet Shop Boys continued via "What Have I Done to Deserve This?"

I seriously have to keep myself from standing in my office shouting along to the words to this song at the top of my lungs. I haven't heard it in AGES.

There are no guilty pleasures. This Samantha Fox reminds me of 1980s summers on the boardwalk in Coney Island.

If Salt-N-Peppa or Johnny Hates Jazz is played after this I have a feeling that I'll suddenly have a Hot Tub Time Machine time travel style situation going on.
