Lightweight nonsense toots, often tinged with 80s-flavoured music & #GenX nostalgia, retro computing, and more modern electronics.

As recounted in the book "Listening to the Music the Machines Make: Inventing Electronic Pop 1978-1983" by Richard Evans.

A book that's absolutely fantastic by the way, impeccably researched and well-written, and should be on the reading list of anyone who loves OMD, The Human League, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Visage etc

#80sMusic

Well here's a little music fact I only just learned. In 1980, the kids' "must watch" Saturday morning BBC TV programme Multi Coloured Swap Shop banned Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark's song Enola Gay because they thought that "gay" in the title was a reference to homosexuality.

On Friday night it's still number one. It's Top of the Pops. #TOTP

Well that was all terribly festive. Even the not Christmas bits.

Hope you have a terrific weekend and week, pop kids. Try not to melt. #TOTP

Do the one about Saturday Nights. Or the rocking crocodiles. Or that Yellow Brick Road. Or pretty much any of your others. Please.
