Quite a lot of the NYC punk and rock scene used to go. I remember Nile Rodgers recounting a story of meeting Ace Frehley there, "It's great, nobody recognises me without the make-up". The 'disco sucks' thing was just mid-west proto-MAGA nonsense

Love And Rockets - Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven

Love And Rockets were effectively Bauhaus minus Peter Murphy. This 1985 classic is almost retro-futuristic in its combination of pulsing electro-rock and lyrics which seem to harken back to glam rock and punk

"The food runs short
And then the money talks
One way out
Your premonition is correct
A war dance!"

Same as Boris Johnson, always completely failing to read the room, hence the constant u-turns and backtracking.

So, if you can see the mirror ball, this track comes from the Friday 13th EP and... hang on that was yesterday. I'm a conceptual shambles today. That's it, time for a beer

Well, if as it turns out the mystery unsupported 'no glyph' is a disco ball, here's Iggy at the opening night of Studio 54, just so, ya know, I can tie it all together. Loosely. Always loosely!

I don't thing Iggy ever crossed over into that particular area. Ho hum

What on earth is πŸͺ©? On all three of my devices it just appears as this - πŸͺ©! No glyph? Apparently it means nothing, well in that case, and given the circumstances, all I can say is.....

I used to have a DVD of their videos (I bought it on the same day as the Sounds Of Science comp) and it was on heavy rotation. Really talented guys.

I went to a gig once at some small live venue in Liverpool and they were serving in glass pint pots. I thought it was a nice touch but they were rolling around over the floor banging into your toes. You can't take some people anywhere

And supposedly Alan Parker and Herbie Flowers on some recordings

Ok, call me slow on the uptake (I'm slow on the uptake), but I've only just realised who originally recorded Make That Move, the track that The Teardrop Explodes segue into on their version of Wylie's Better Scream.

I've heard a few people on here who've come into contact with Colin and Rod and say they're absolute wonders to interview
