Classic 80’s track from Liverpool band A Flock of Seagulls (what a great name!). There is some pretty special style on display in the video too.

Carla Thomas* – Pick up the pieces (Live at Wattstax)
This is a great live recording of Stax legend Carla Thomas taken from the 1972 Wattstax music festival which took place in The LA Colluseum. It is probably my favourite track of hers (the also excellent album version is here)

DeBarge* – Rhythm Of The Night | (GPF)
Trae Tha Truth* – I’m On featuring MDMA,Lupe Fiasco, Big Boi, Wale & Wiz Khalifa
This track almost seems post modern to me. After posting Return of The Mack on Friday, which reminds me vividly of my early teens, I stumbled across this on YouTube which samples it. This made me feel singularly old!
Trae Tha Truth is a rapper from Houston,TX and the track also features an impressive array of Hip Hop talent.

Mark Morrison* – Return of the mack | (GPF)
A bit of a throwback 90’s classic (1996 for those keeping score at home) from one hit wonder Mark Morrison. The eagle eared amougnst you may spot the 80’s classic from Tom Tom Club being sampled here.

Rick Springfield* – Jessie’s Girl | (GPF)
I heard this track, by 80’s icon Rick Springfield on the radio the other day and I couldn’t stop humming it afterwards. I am unsure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Pretty special video here.

Björk – Joga
Paul Simon – The Obvious Child
Revisiting Pet Sounds last weekend (in various forms) got me thinking about albums. Of late, they have lost all meaning to me. I can’t think the last time I listened to one from start to finish.
But there will always be a few that I can’t escape. One such is The Rhythm of the Saints, from which this is taken. It got me thinking about World Music before I even knew it existed. If you don’t know it I recommend you give yourself a treat and check it out.

Jean Knight* – Mr.Big Stuff | (GPF)
Funky 70’s classic from Jean Knight to brighten up the middle of you week. She might have been a one hit wonder but a hit it was! Pretty special video here too.
Ooh yeah!…
