The Supreme Court has upheld Congress's law banning TikTok, but there's more developing on the app's future practically every hour. Despite Donald Trump signing an executive order to ban TikTok during his first term, on the first day of his second term, he floated a "50% joint venture" between TikTok and the U.S. government. Congress has no idea how to feel about the national security concerns on both sides of the aisle. Luckily, Dave Ball is just learning the app exists.

A ceux qui disaient en 1969 en regardant les hommes marcher sur la Lune que nous avions changé d'époque, on peut leur dire douze ans plus tard, on en a vu depuis passer plein d'autres, tellement qu'on en finit par avoir le tournis. Ben oui, 1981, dans la Belgique de Wilfried Maertens, on a une dizaine de chaînes de télé dont certaines émettent dès le matin, on a des cassettes VHS pour les enregistrer, un répondeur sur notre téléphone, et en parlant de téléphone, il ne faut plus de pièces dans les cabines, non, on téléphone avec une carte ! Tu peux même retirer de l'argent de ton compte à un distributeur maintenant, en rue, à toute heure. Tu te rends compte ! Et surtout on joue de la musique, tout seul, sur un synthétiseur. Il fait tout, mon vieux : le piano, la basse et même la batterie et ne prend pas plus de place qu'un piano électrique. C'est ça la révolution des années 80 : tout est à peine inventé que déjà portable. Regardez le terrible radio cassette avec ses gros baffles, une grande poignée au-dessus et hop, tu l'emportes en vacances ou dans ton kot et t'as un super son ! Et en parlant de radio, en Belgique, on a un truc que les Français n'ont pas, une radio qui ne passe que de la musique pour les jeunes … Déjà qu'ils n'ont pas de salle comme Forest National, même à Paris, alors Radio Cité, on est branché dessus tout le week-end pour écouter ce qui sort en Grande-Bretagne et aux Etats-Unis. Car c'est bien de ça qu'il s'agit. Choper les nouvelles musiques, de nouveaux artistes comme les Pretenders, Orchestral Manoeuvres, les Buggles et bien sûr, Soft Cell. C'est un groupe sans guitares ni batterie, comme Kraftwerk. Sauf qu'ils ne sont pas quatre mais deux. Et encore, un musicien et un chanteur. Ah ben oui, tout est tellement portable aujourd'hui que tu peux monter ton groupe sans avoir besoin de louer une salle de répète. Tu peux faire ça dans ton kot et c'est ce qu'on fait les deux gars de Soft Cell, Dave Ball et Marc Almond, étudiants à l'école d'art de Leeds dans le nord de l'Angleterre. Oh ils ne sont pas les seuls, il y a un tas de gars qui font ça dans toutes les villes du pays et même à Paris et Bruxelles. Mais ils sont les premiers à faire un tube mondial avec leur musique obscure, bien barrée, le couteau sur la gorge, menacé par leur label de les laisser tomber s'ils ne sortent pas un disque qui marche.Oui, c'est un tube sur commande, comme à l'époque pas si lointaine du disco. Sauf qu'ils ne faut pas embaucher une dizaine de musiciens dans un studio qui coûte un pont au producteur. Une véritable révolution que cette reprise d'un titre anglais des sixties qui n'avait marché qu'à moitié et qui sonnait comme une chanson noire américaine de la Motown. Je vous dis qu'en 1981, on a changé d'époque. Mais joyeusement, même si la voix de Marc Almond cache quelque chose de plus sombre et profond.

Originating from a serendipitous encounter in a smoky Leeds nightclub back in 1979, Josephine Warden and Brian Moss embarked on a musical journey that would redefine the synth-pop landscape. Initially known as Vicious Pink Phenomena, they made their mark by providing distinctively off-kilter backing vocals for their friends in Soft Cell, a collaboration that unfolded organically and without rehearsal. Transitioning to the simplified moniker Vicious Pink, the duo continued to captivate audiences with their avant-garde sound, releasing a string of singles that defied conventional expectations and climbed the UK dance charts between 1982 and 1986. Despite their modest intentions, their music proved to be both artful and provocative, leaving an enduring legacy in the annals of electronic music history. Minimal Wave has just released a long-awaited LP showcasing previously unreleased gems from the influential UK duo, 'Unexpected'. The album offers listeners a glimpse into the duo's creative process, compiling pop experiments recorded spontaneously, some in collaboration with Soft Cell's Dave Ball.

Steve Tinning is a Baptist Minister, a Public Issues Enabler for the Baptist Union of Great Britain and one of the team that makes Beer and Hymns happen at Greenbelt festival.  Steve is a lovely chap and talks to us about his secondment to JPIT (the Joint Public Issues Team of the Baptist, URC and Methodist churches), issues of asylum and refugee response, and about different responses to Ukrainian and other groups of refugees. But we also got him on the show to talk about one of our favourite things: Beer and Hymns. Steve tells us a little about the origins and spread of the idea, how he came to be involved and the deep, thorough and extensive philosophy behind it. He also has ideas abouthow you can run a Beer and Hymns (or Beer and Carols) in a pub near you!  Also, given that Israel, at time of recording, was still bombing the trapped and overwhelmingly civilian population of Gaza, we also talked about Palestine and standing with Palestinians. Steve Tinning denounces Hamas, you'll be pleased to know. This episode runs a little long because Jonty and Steve argued a little, and also because we wanted to include some clips of Beer and Hymns in the wild. Included are audio tracks from Greenbelt 2023 , Greenbelt 2013 (featuring Dave Ball) and from the White House pub in Oxford, hosting St Aldates' Beer and Hymns (a more sedate and civilised affair than the Jesus Arms version) a few weeks ago.   New to Beer Christianity?

It was while in Leeds she met Marc Almond and Dave Ball at a local music venue. In 1980, Hogan took a year out and began DJing and promoting in local clubs. Some of her first bookings were bands like Soft Cell and the Human League. Later in London, she met Matt Johnson from the The who introduced her to Simon Fisher Turner who she began recording with on an album titled Deux Filles. It was this recording that began her working relationship with Almond, after he had heard Hogan playing on the album. Almond then asked her to collaborate on his solo material.

Turning 64 today is Soft Cell instrumentalist Dave Ball.

Today's only other 64th birthday among the four major sports is former Arizona State running back Alvin Moore, which is not to slight Moore because he played five seasons in the NFL, it's just that those five seasons were split between three franchises in four cities: the Baltimore and Indianapolis Colts, the Detroit Lions, and the Seattle Seahawks.So, those who remember Moore, likely do so for his time with the Sun Devils, not necessarily the six carries for 15 yards, plus an eight-yard reception, against the Jets on Thanksgiving in 1985. Same for Arnold and Texas Longhorns baseball, but he had the single MLB team, also in Baltimore, albeit not at the same time as Moore. Have they ever had a birthday party together?

He clears up common misconceptions surrounding the program and explains how to maximize one's potential to be approved for a mortgage according to BofA's stringent lending guidelines. We both share the concerns we've heard from our audiences as well as false information that has been spread about it.  Dave also highlights the importance of financial responsibility when purchasing any property, and offers his best advice on protecting your real estate investments in a downmarket, and even in a recession.Highlights1) BofA's program requires potential borrowers to have a 50% or less debt-to-income ratio, three credit tradelines (credit scores), and no late payments within the last six months on your credit report. They also take non-traditional credit into account, including utilities, car payments, etc.2) This program does not equal redlining because BofA is incentivizing Black and Hispanic communities to take advantage of this opportunity and they are lending in those neighborhoods.3) Regardless of whether you want to buy a home in an upmarket, downmarket, or sideways market, plan to live in that home for a minimum of three years. As long as you purchase a home within your budget, you will be relatively unaffected by current market conditions.How to find himInstagram - @coinsncultureEpisode 41 About Redlining- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/black-real-estate-dialogue/id1485181666?i=1000489156878Access all of our resources on our website- https://www.blackrealestatedialogue.com/links

Later, in 1992, their track 'Divine Thing' was a top 40 hit on the Billboard chart in America. After their first album, 'This is Our Art', the band developed their sound in a more dance and less indie direction. Ten years after the band was founded in 1985, it disbanded. Sean Dickson came out as gay, an event that led to a breakdown, he formed The High Fidelity and. after DJ-ing already earlier in his life, became successful under the name HiFi Sean.Today, he continues to DJ, and make music.

Soft Cell es un dúo de música británico, fundado en 1978 en Leeds por el vocalista Marc Almond y el tecladista Dave Ball, ambos compositores. El dúo fue popular durante principios de la década de los 80. Fue uno de los primeros exponentes de synthpop del Reino Unido.​ El grupo es conocido especialmente por su versión del sencillo de Gloria Jones "Tainted Love", lanzado en 1981 y un éxito a nivel mundial. En su natal Reino Unido, el grupo logró 12 éxitos Top 40, que incluyó Tainted Love, Torch, Say Hello, Wave Goodbye; Whatǃ, y Bedsitter, todos ellos pertenecientes a su exitoso álbum Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, que también estuvo entre sus 4 álbumes Top 20 en ese país. El duo trabajó de forma continua hasta 1984, cuando se separó. En el 2001 anunciaron su reunión para grabar un nuevo álbum y lanzar una gira por el Reino Unido, pero volvió a disolverse en el 2003. En el 2018, se reunió por segunda vez, y ha mantenido su formación original hasta la fecha, grabando y tocando en vivo con frecuencia, anunciando un nuevo álbum y su consecuente gira para 2022.

It's hard to overstate the influence that Richard Norris has had on the music industry over the past 40 years. In his youth in St Albans, Richard got involved in the experimental and creative punk rock scene, forming the Innocent Vicars, creating a DIY fanzine called 99%, working as a label manager for Bam Caruso and writing for Strange Things and the NME. Following a, let's say, "educational" collaboration with Genesis P. Orridge, Richard formed The Grid with Dave Ball (from Soft Cell) in 1988 and released their debut single, the Balearic-inspired Floatation in 1990. It was their 1994 single, Swamp Thing with the inspired banjo reel that catapulted the band to commercial success. Richard has been at the front of the ever-evolving electronic scene, from the early days of Shoom and The Clink, to covering the emergence of Amnesia in Ibiza, to releasing his own house, acid house, ambient, meditative, drone and psychedelic tracks. He's worked with Joe Strummer, has run record labels, DJ'd, wrote Paul Oakenfold's official biography and remixed and produced artists like Armand van Helden, Soft Cell, Saint Etienne, Cornershop, Billie Ray Martin, Shakespeare's Sister and has collaborated on the experimental project Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve with Erol Alkan. The list is almost endless!Recently, he has been doing his own thing - releasing a series of totally hypnotic, ambient, healing experiences, raising money for MIND. And latterly he released Hypnotic Response, a more psychedelic, experimental set of tracks.There's more exciting stuff in the works….take a listen to the wonderful mindset of one of music's legends.I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is a music podcast that does music interviews differently.

Today's Electronically Yours with Martyn Ware episode is a very special one. There are very few stone-cold electro-pop classic singles and Tainted Love is universally loved and respected. The man whose music filled a million dancefloors is Dave Ball, who together with Marc Almond created Soft Cell. Dave (described as ‘quiet but menacing' on the Soft Cell website) is a self-taught, minimalist electronic producer, who was heavily influenced by Northern Soul and the underground dance scene in the north. His later work includes the Grid, and fascinating collaborations with Psychic TV amongst many others. In fact, he never stops… Ladies and gentlemen, sometimes it's the quiet ones who make the most noise - Dave Ball.

Премьера нового сингла Coldplay состоялась в космосе. Британские рокеры Coldplay выпустили новый сингл "Higher Power". Он уже размещён на всех популярных стриминговых платформах. Премьера сингла состоялась на специальном канале связи с МКС, где впервые состоялась "внеземная передача" астронавту Европейского космического агентства Томе Песке, который в конце апреля прибыл на борт станции на пилотируемом корабле Crew Dragon-2. В ходе трансляции Песке показал музыкантам виды с борта станции и поделился своими мыслями о хрупкости Земли. Одновременно с синглом группа выпустила клип, в котором музыканты выступают на фоне транспортных контейнеров, а вокруг них танцуют голограммы инопланетян. В твите, анонсирующем "Higher Power", Coldplay сказали, что песня "была создана на маленькой клавиатуре и раковине в ванной в начале 2020 года". Участники группы также отметили, что песня была спродюсирована хитмейкером Максом Мартином, которого они назвали "настоящим чудом Вселенной". "Higher Power" знаменует собой первую новую музыку Coldplay за два года. Последний на сегодняшний день альбом группы "Everyday Life" вышел в 2019 году. Coldplay исполнят новую песню на American Idol в это воскресенье, а также сыграют ее на церемонии вручения Brit Awards во вторник. В конце мая Coldplay станут хедлайнерами виртуального фестиваля Glastonbury, который выйдет в эфир 22 мая. Власти сорвали концерт Noize MC в Оренбурге. Как пояснил Иван в своем обращении к поклонникам, ФСБ, МВД и администрация области до концерта оказывали давление на концертные площадки, с которыми пытались договориться организаторы. Из-за этого выступление пришлось разделить на два и пригласить половину зрителей в одно место, а вторую половину — в другое. Иван пояснил, что он все же смог отыграть акустический сет на первом месте, но когда он собирался ехать на второй концерт, "поступила информация, что и эту площадку тоже накрыли силовые структуры". Он предложил зрителям отмененного концерта не сдавать билеты, пообещав, что организаторы "обязательно что-нибудь придумают", чтобы он состоялся. Сразу после публикации поста Нойза администрация Оренбурга дала комментарий изданию "Подъем", пояснив, что отмена концерта связана с коронавирусными ограничениями и отсутствием лицензии у площадки. "У нас закрыты ночные клубы, а товарищ исполнитель планировал выступить в ночном клубе. Поэтому правоохранительные органы не разрешили проводить мероприятие", - пояснили организаторы. Cинтипоп-дуэт Soft Cell запишет первый альбом за 20 лет. Вокалист Марк Алмонд (Marc Almond) и продюсер/мультиинструменталист Дэйв Болл (Dave Ball) снова в студии! Легендарный синтипоп-дуэт Soft Cell записывает первый альбом за 20 лет. Сегодня Дэйв Болл сообщил в интервью с Daily Star, что новая совместная работа дуэта увидит свет в 2022 году. Он упомянул, что до воссоединения в 2018 году не виделся с Алмондом в течение 15 лет. В 2018 году они дали совместный концерт в лондонской "Арене О2", который был задуман как их финальное шоу. Последний полноформатный LP "Cruelty Without Beauty" дуэт выпустил в 2002 году. Группа существует в режиме регулярных расставаний с 1980 года, записав за эти годы множество знаменитых хитов. По иронии судьбы, самым популярным треком, когда-либо созданным группой, стала кавер-версия. Автор "Tainted Love" - Эд Кобб (Ed Cobb), участник группы Four Preps, написавший эту песню для Глории Джонс (Gloria Jones) в 1964 году. Версия Soft Cell затмила оригинал, однако ни одна их самостоятельная композиция не превзошла успеха кавера. - Мы не пытались написать еще одну „Tainted Love“, хотя, возможно, нам стоило бы!, — иронично говорит Дейв. 3 года колонии строгого режима может получить пользователь ВКонтакте за публикацию клипа Rammstein. Житель Архангельска может получить 3 года колонии строгого режима за публикацию в сети ВКонтакте клипа Rammstein. Обвинение запросило такое наказание для экс-главы архангельского штаба Навального Андрея Боровикова по делу о распространении порнографии - прокуратура посчитала таковой клип на песню "Pussy". Тот факт, что клип был выпущен аж в 2009 году, не запрещён в России и доступен на платформе в сотнях аккаунтов, суд не обеспокоил: дело возбуждено лишь в отношении Андрея. Вину Андрея Боровикова прокуратура усмотрела в том, что в 2014 году он сохранил в разделе "видеозаписи" своего личного аккаунта ВК клип Rammstein. Для обеспечения доказательств использовали стукача: некий грузчик с говорящей фамилией Дурынину якобы решил донести в полицию на Боровикова. Для этого он не только добавился в друзьяк Боровикову, но и сходил к нему с записывающим оборудованием и зафиксировал просмотр клипа с десктопа Андрея. Именно так и ведут себя глубоко оскорблённые люди. Осенью 2020 года полиция возбудила уголовное дело. Обвинение строится на показаниях осведомителя полиции, предложившего Боровикову вместе посмотреть сохраненный ролик , а также на выводах заказанной следствием экспертизы, которая не обнаружила в откровенном клипе всемирно известной группы "художественной ценности". "Со стороны обвинения была проведена культурологическая экспертиза, которая подтвердила, что видео носит порнографический характер, но мы вину не признаём", — сообщил представитель Андрея, адвокат Алексей Кычкин. Как пояснил адвокат, этот ролик просто был размещён в списке видеозаписей на странице в ВК Андрея Боровикова, и тот его никак не афишировал. "Строгий режим за клип Рамштайн… Уроды, — прокомментировал "Открытым медиа требование прокуратуры сам обвиняемый.

CW: Rape, suicide, cutting, violence involving animals It’s Broken Romantics Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey relate to some very awkward weirdos in two films about introverts with murderous fetishes. The Classic Film: Martin (1977) "A young man, who believes himself to be a vampire, goes to live with his elderly and hostile cousin in a small Pennsylvania town where he tries to redeem his blood-craving urges” (IMDb.com). This under-remembered Romero classic throws out almost every vampire trope to show humanity's cursed desires in the hot light of day.

We said that was fine, as Luke Turner was in his best EBM cut-offs and DM boots look to go with Regis' musical choices: nine incredibly formative tracks from his teenage years in the West Midlands during the early 80s. To a soundtrack of Nitzer Ebb, Foetus, Cabaret Voltaire, Matt Johnson, DAF, Dave Ball with Genesis P*Orridge, Nikki Sudden, Einsturzende Neubauten and the wonderful Fad Gadget they indulge in passable chat about how techno never made sense until Karl heard Jeff Mills, doing things your own way, Thee Temple Of Psychick Youth, and listening to German records with spanking grot mags in a tiny bedroom lit by nicked traffic lights.

For awhile I had a pro account with much more bandwidth, but I couldn't justify the cost with my time limitations over the past three years. That said, I also don't like fans and followers to be cock-blocked for weeks on end by bandwidth overages. Right now, I have to be satisfied with a free account, but I didn't anticipate using up my bandwidth three days after the reset date each month. It's a good problem to have, but still a problem. Anyway, I'll keep you all in the loop should things change. For now, I guess, circle the 24th of each month on your calendar to remind yourself to grab these episodes when you can before my 15 gigs of bandwidth per month evaporates! Thanks to each and every one of you for tuning in. It really makes a guy feel good. Notes and other random things: Alright! It's 3 hours to dawn, I've got a full bowl of cereal, half a glass of water, it's dark and I'm making a podcast. Hit it! This sassy little number contains ABCs and OMDs, Counterfeits and Camouflages, Boxcars and Beloveds, something "vicious", something "new" and even a double DM! Happy Listening! Okay, so like any normal testosterone-fueled male member of the species I'm a competitive guy, my own worst critic and I can't stand giving a less-than-competent effort in whatever it is I choose to undertake. That said, I do read comments and check reviews with regard to my 'casts to make sure I'm living up to some realistic level of excellence. For the most part, I've been thrilled that this insignificant little program I assemble in my basement has brought so much joy to so many of you. I try to be honest and forthright in my write-ups for my sake, for your sake, for band's sake, for God's sake. Most of what I write is knowledge I've gleaned over the years from being a fan, from reading music mags, from collecting umpteen thousands of records and reading umpteen thousands of liner notes on the bands I feature here. Often, however, I look up artists to confirm or deny stuff I thought I'd read, thought I'd heard, figured I'd seen or otherwise dreamed. Most importantly, I try to get it right. But I don't always. ...Which brings me to the first band I'd like to mention here: Counterfeit. In episode #23, I included Lee McFadden and Co.'s song "The Good Samaritan" At the time, it was a new find for me, one I discovered on a compilation I had just purchased. Until that point I knew nothing of the band and had a difficult time finding much information on them. I jumped to the conclusion that the song I possessed was probably their only release. Thankfully, a kind listener made a comment to the contrary. He wrote: "In fact there is a three-track EP of "The Good Samaritan" that was released a couple of years ago. Myself and the other two members are still in contact and work together occasionally on music." - Lee McFadden. Holy S#!+, Lee McFadden just wrote to tell me I'm full of crap. That's so COOL! Anyway, thanks to Mr. McFadden for correcting my error. I thought it appropriate to let you all know there is more to the band than just one song. I also figured that by using Lee's comment as part of my write-up it would give me another chance to feature the excellent track here. So, back to the "my own worst critic" comment a moment ago. One of the things about this podcast that is endearing/aggravating is that it's a live mix. That is, I hit record and go for an hour or more - typically 15 songs. As you can imagine, things can sometimes go wrong when performing live, especially at 3 in the morning when I recorded this one. Some errors are bad enough I scrap the whole thing and start over. Sometimes, I just accept things like variances in recording levels or slightly mismatched beats because it's too time-consuming to spend an hour or more redoing an entire 'cast for small inconsistencies, especially when you're using cheap, finicky mixing equipment as I do. In the case of this podcast it turns out two of the tracks here had questionable endings. The first, Book Of Love's "I Touch Roses" mix had a repeated phrase for the last 30 seconds that sounded as if the track were skipping. Of course, I remembered that at the last possible moment and quickly began mixing it out. So, if it sounds like an unnatural point at which to fade in/fade out, it is. And now you know why. I'd say Daniel Miller should be flogged for ending the track in that way, but how can I possibly stay angry at the fellow who founded Mute Records? I forgive you Daniel. Just don't do it again! In case you were wondering about the other track with the weird ending it was 900 Hours by Boxcar. Thankfully, the first gaffe reminded me to avoid a second. I'd like to spend a moment to write about Belouis Some. Frankly, I could spend a day debating the correct pronunciation of Neville Keighley's alter-ego ... but I won't. Just know that all the variants I've encountered rank right up there with bands like INXS, Cetu Javu, EBN-OZN and others whose names were all butchered during their infancy. (C'mon ... admit it. You called them "Inks" the first time you saw their record in the storefront window. You know you did!) Anyway, the track "Animal Magic" was released in 1987 on Belouis Some's self-titled album, two years after the band found chart success UK and stateside with the songs "Imagination" and "Some People". Those songs led to opening gigs for Nik Kershaw and Frankie Goes To Hollywood during their heyday in 1985 and a track called "Round Round" which appeared on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack. The soundtrack is notable for two things: it's association with a John Hughes film and for being killer back when soundtracks were mostly filler. (That rhymes!) As an interesting side note: Nik Kershaw's song "Wouldn't It Be Good" also appeared on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack as a cover version by Danny Hutton Hitters. Belouis Some's "Some People" would also surface on a Swatch commercial circa 1986. Australia had its share of good rock music in the 80s. Men At Work, INXS (however you pronounce them) and Midnight Oil represent just a few of the names. But as club culture began to consume record racks in the mid-80s, fledgling bands began to dabble in electronics, shifting their focus from guitar-infused pub rock to synth-based dance music. Brisbane's Boxcar were one of those bands that gained prominence world-wide. But old pub-rock habits die-hard and the band had a difficult time of things even in their home country where they were often met by a chorus of boo-birds during live performances. The group was also ridiculed for being too derivative of established artists like New Order (whom they toured with at the turn of the 90s.) Thanks in part to producer Robert Racic, who had worked with Severed Heads (also an Aussie electronic band) and Single Gun Theory among others, Boxcar's first full-length release "Vertigo", issued in 1990, was praised by critics for it's sophisticated electronic sound. Tracks like "Freemason", which charted at #8 on the Billboard Dance Chart and "Gas Stop" brought the group some recognition outside Australia. But despite support gigs for Depeche Mode, Erasure, The Pet Shop Boys and the aforementioned New Order, the band was never really able to gain much traction and after two more albums, "Revision" in 1992 and "Algorhythm" in 1994, the band's output and live dates began to ebb even though they never officially called it quits. ABC were like the cool kids in high school that everyone wanted to be like. They had the swankiest clothes, the hippest hair cuts, listened to the coolest music and seemed to always have their finger on the pulse of whatever the "it" thing was to do at the time ... at least until the 20-year reunion rolled around and you saw them wearing the same clothes and sporting the same haircuts, albeit with much less hair and carrying around 50 extra pounds and you realized there had been little personal growth there. The band's roots grew from a band called Vice Versa. Both guitarist and synthesizer player, Mark White, and saxophonist, Stephen Singleton, were members of that group and are notable for their first ever gig being the opening act for Wire. (Not a bad way to kick off a career). After the release of an EP called "Music 4", future ABC singer Martin Fry, at the time editor of his own fanzine called Modern Drugs, interviewed the band. Shortly thereafter, they asked him to join. From the start, the band were pretty set on making 100% machine-made music. Having mega-producer Trevor Horn of The Buggles Fame, a guy affectionately nicknamed, "The Man Who Invented The Eighties" in your corner can certainly help chart a solid course for success. And did it ever. The first album, "Lexicon Of Love", went #1 in the UK, spawned innumerable imitators, featured great songs like "Look Of Love", "Poison Arrow", "Tears Are Not Enough", "Date Stamp" and others, and should be on a short list of the best albums from start to finish to come out of the 80s. From there, however, the band never ventured far from their original song-writing formula and were unable, despite some hits here and there, to duplicate the immense success of "Lexicon". In ABCs defense, not many bands could. Further, the group continued to splinter, losing members as the years went on. Drummer David Palmer left to join Yellow Magic Orchestra shortly after "Lexicon" was released. Stephen Singleton left in 1984. Remaining members Fry and White then recruited Fiona Russell-Powell (known as Eden) and David Yarritu to mitigate the departures of Palmer and Singleton. That line-up produced their biggest hit stateside with "Be Near Me". Mid-1987, ABC's album Alphabet City spawned the Top 10 hit "When Smokey Sings", a tribute to the great Motown singer, Smokey Robinson. Interestingly, Smokey was in the midst of a career resurgence for a new generation of fans and was himself firmly ensconced on the pop charts with his single "One Heartbeat" at the same time as ABC's tribute. It marked one of the only times in chart history a singer had a Top 40 hit while simultaneously being the focus of another. Not many bands can say they were responsible for coining a term that would become part of the vernacular. In an earlier CRC, I mentioned that Throbbing Gristle's Genesis P. Orridge is widely recognized to have created the "industrial" tag with the advent of his label, Industrial Music, in the mid-70s. March 27, 1982 - that's the date Vicious Pink described their music as "techno" in a feature published in Sounds magazine - almost 4 years before the term gained wider acceptance in the Detroit DJ subculture. Band members Josephine Warden and Brian Moss formed the group in 1981 in Leeds, England, getting their start as backup singers for Marc Almond and Soft Cell. Originally called Vicious Pink Phenomena, Brian describes how the name came to be: "I met [Josephine] when I was DJ at an alternative night, I put on with friends, at a pub called “The Adephi” in Leeds. I also met Dave Ball and Mark Almond there through Jose, as she went to the same College as them, Leeds Polytechnic. We decided to start a band together for a bit of fun. Jose, Dave Ball and I wrote our favourite words down on pieces of paper, turned them upside down and shuffled them about. Then we each chose one of the pieces of paper, after that we rearranged them into the name Vicious Pink Phenomena, Jose’s word was Vicious, Dave’s was Pink and mine was, well, Phenomena. It was a kind of lottery I guess, but it worked. We thought it also sounded like it could be the title for a 50’s / 60’s Science Fiction B Movie." In all, the duo would release 5 dance singles, many produced by Dave Ball of Soft Cell. Despite zero promotion and garnering next-to-no mainstream support Vicious Pink managed to chart all five of those singles in the UK. The particular track here, "Cccan't You See" was their third single and was produced by the great Tony Mansfield of New Musik fame. It was the highest charting single of the bunch, reaching #67. That's it for this episode. I'll be back soon with another. Thanks everyone and Happy Listening!
