Some random '80s videos.

Haven't trolled YouTube in a while, so here are a few treats I stumbled across. I don't know who this guy Rubellan is, but he is nice with the obscure '80s videos.

"Stay" - The Blue Nile (different mix! a beautiful song)

"Spin your partner" - Love Tractor

"I say nothing" - Voice of the Beehive

"Counting the beat" - The Swingers

"I could be happy" - Altered Images

"Treason" - The Teardrop Explodes

"Primitive painters" - Felt

Group 87 - A career in dada processing - Tracks 1 and 2.

Here's one that you probably missed. Group 87 was not big in its day, but I remember playing this album during my days at WRPI. Dada was the second of two albums they released. It was a little different from what I was used to playing back then, but I liked synthesizers and that was good enough for me.

01. Group 87 - Postcards from the volcano

02. Group 87 - Pleasure in progress

Here's an article celebrating the reissue of G87's first album on CD.

A little background on Mark Isham, who was in the band. Here's his website.

Dada sells in the $30s at Amazon.

AOTP - Nov 10 - Part 1 [80 min - start to Stereolab]

AOTP - Nov 10 - Part 2 [80 min - Simon & Garfunkel to Kings of Convenience]

This episode was plagued by technical difficulties early on. One of the CD players was not working correctly, changing the track I wanted to play by itself (I wanted track 3, the player switched it to track 2). When I played vinyl, a huge bass hum emanated from the output. In addition to that, turntable output did not appear at the CD recorder, so every time I played a record, I heard left channel only, very quietly. You won't hear anything - so be prepared for two gaps early on in the show. Otherwise, things went OK.

O Positive's Dave Herlihy.

You never know who's going to visit:

I was in O Positive and am glad that you're making the songs available to be heard. Who needs to pay $150 for a CD?
It's also a trip to read your reviews of the gigs from that era.
Thanks. Dave Herlihy

Thanks for writing, Dave! I really do need to update those gig reviews. I fell way behind and never got caught up.

The important part - Dave is OK with sharing the songs and a lot of you come through here looking for O+, so I'm going to do my first repeat.

01. O Positive - With you

02. O Positive - Say goodbye
