'80s Neon Tuesday Music
Inspired by a fediverse conversation about how '80s the '80s were (more '80s than you can believe):
- Maybe It's Live, by Robert Palmer: Lot of great rock/dance/almost bluesy songs.
- Notorious, by Duran Duran: Rio was good pop, but Notorious is the one that actually impressed me. They could rock out when they had to.
- Miami Vice, by Jan Hammer: The sound of the '80s.
- The Power Station: 1985, Robert Palmer, the rock half of Duran Duran, and a Chic ("le freak") made an awesome video and a whole album of rock/synth.
- Riptide, by Robert Palmer: His breakout, with of course the video.
- Airwolf: The greatest TV show of all time. There is apparently an entire album of Airwolf Themes but I can't find it anywhere convenient.
- Harold F, by Harold Faltermeyer: Axel F, the Beverly Hills Cop song. But he scored everything else, too, like Fletch Lives.
- Living in Fear, by The Power Station: A decade later, they reunited. I barely know this album at all, '90s I was too much into metal & industrial to still like my '80s pop.
And then looking this up, I discovered Robert Palmer died in 2003, age 54. Nobody told me! guardian obituary
Monsters Among Us Thursday Music
Spooky Saturday Music
"Now might be a good time to get spooky."
"That's my secret, Captain. I'm always spooky."
Nostalgia Sunday Music
- Somnia, by Hawkwind: New album!
- Senjutsu, by Iron Maiden: Animated samurai Eddie cover, still barely animated band.
- No More Tears 30th Anniversary, by Ozzy Osbourne: With some kind of "30th anniversary edition" of Hellraiser with Lemmy & Motörhead at the end of the album.
Look, I remember getting No More Tears when it was new and I was in college, and, uh, 30 years that doesn't make any sense. Because that'd make me not young, but The Old, and I'm clearly not The Old.
Technical Tuesday Music
- Welcome Oblivion, by How to Destroy Angels: Trent Reznor, Mariqueen Maandig, Atticus Ross.
- SoundDiv EP, by Icon of Coil
- Seren EP, by Icon of Coil
- Dark Passenger, by Decoded Feedback

Automatic Tuesday Music
Some mechanical music, mostly more optimistic than usual. Got a long week ahead, try to make it thru.
