Good for you for even looking at the tabs! 😂 I just know I'm not even anywhere close to being that good to even do that. 😄

But yeah, sick bass. 🤘🏻
So good. That’s ended up being one of my favorite songs on the record!
7RT is also very good. Many people will also say The Wedding Album. 😂
064. Duran Duran - Rio

Well loved #vinyl, lots of pops & skips. Probably still my favorite DD album. I love the arpeggiator on Hungry Like the Wolf, created with the Roland Jupiter 8 as seen in a "Classic Albums" episode (see in 🧵). Great bass on this album, too.
063. DOMi & JD BECK - Not Tight

Picked this up after seeing them on the Coachella feed. I find a lot of new (to me) music that way. I try to clear my calendar for that first weekend and just bounce around, staying on a channel that captures my attention. This did that. 😄 (Also, it is very tight)
10 Sunday mornings? I think that's when I remember it. They played some at nights, too, IIRC.

I attribute so much of my early musical taste to that show. 😄
I loooooooved that video. That song still puts me at ease. Not that it's particularly happy or peaceful, I guess it just reminds me of those days. ☺️
I forgot that this came with a 7" of Working in the Coal Mine! As featured in the Heavy Metal animated film. 😁

Yeah, it's so funny how we like what we like. 😄 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So sad to read this. I knew Dave was in poor health, but hoped he'd recover.

If you know me, you know that Dave & Marc's music has meant a lot to me over the years. Thanks for the music & memories, Dave. ❤️
We are so sad to hear that Dave Ball, the keyboard genius of Soft Cell, has died. He was an electronic pop pioneer and with Marc Almond made a unique catalogue of songs, completely original in sound and content. Our love and condolences go to Marc and all those close to Dave. Neil and Chris xx
Or maybe I don't care much for her voice. 😄
Yeah, he was really shocked that I didn't like it. 😄 I don't even know what it is about the album. It was released the year I was really trying to get a band together and get that going, so I was in my own musical hole.

Listening quick now, maybe I was too into Ill Communication?
062. Devo - New Traditionalists

Devo was renowned for their early videos, and that's how I got into this album. Our local PBS station KBDI had a show called FM-TV/Teletunes and that's where I saw the videos (linked in 🧵). So I bought the #vinyl and it still sounds really good! 😄
Was *just* having this conversation with a friend! I've tried to like it. I've listened. He said his whole cohort of friends who were into different types of music, they all agreed on this one.

And it just passes me by. 😂 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
