What are you listening to? January 2018

[Old Uncle Toe]

Yaz/Yazoo - Upstairs At Eric's (1982)

In the 80s was not into new wave at all, but was exposed to this as my girlfriend (now wife) had it and enjoyed it. So I've always had a follow up for Yaz's albums - plus Alison Moyet - what a voice!

I was only a minor fan of New Wave in the '80's too. A couple years ago, I was watching the Fringe TV series and the song Only You showed up in an episode. The scene it was in shone a little philosophical light on a life circumstance of mine. With that attachment, the song was in my head for a month or more. I still enjoy hearing it every time. And yes, Alison Moyet - what a lovely voice. I've never listened to her solo work. Can't imagine why not.

Floorian ~ What the Buzzing (2002)



The only people to which I think this release would appeal is Unsom and Pops. Pops would already know about it, of course, but then again so would Rick, so actually I am not sure if this qualifies as a recommendation at all.

They had a new record a year or so back and it is a burner! Slow bubbling psych madness.
