Easily the most successful so far, possibly thanks to a concerted fly-posting campaign. It's been really pleasurable watching this little club gradually grow and develop. Seeing DJ's Dave B., Will and Dave T. go from complete novices to ever increasing levels of confidence and inspiration. By the time the management turned off the juice, the place was really fucking buzzing. I thought there was gonna be a riot. Special mention for young Will (he of
Bronze Age Fox) for some extremely tasty mid-80's action. We had Herbie Hancock's "Rockitt", Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" and, best of all, Harold Faltermeyer's "Axel F." Hearing this track again blasting through a P.A. was nothing short of a revelation. Goddam, 1985 was a bloody
terrific year for pop! In honour of the occasion, I present it here for your listening pleasure. Sure, you know the song, but when was the last time you played it? Sounds fresh as a daisy to me. If ra-ra skirts and white stilletto's can come back in fashion (which they
have), then so can this!
MP3:
Harold Faltermeyer - Axel FOh, and great to finally meet another blogger in the flesh. I got to hang out with
Spoilt Victorian Child Rowche Rumble for a while, and was able to personally congratulate him on that fucking awesome MP3 compilation. Not sure if Rowche shared my enthusiasm for Axel F. though....
