2NG's retro chart is from Aug 1980 today. Looking forward to some UK rarities.
But OMFG and TANC: before the chart show we get the Supes "No Matter What Sign You Are"! Your water sign just lit mah fire! Can't let astrology/chart our destiny!
NTM and Discovery of the Week: if this wasn't from 1980 you'd swear Sue Wilkinson was singing about the Kardashians...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdqFgOAM8Y0ooo! Ultravox "Sleepwalk"!
Damn -- Jermaine Jackson's "Burnin' Hot" is also NTM. And holy crap: Gene Chandler making an '80s comeback with "Does She Have a Friend For Me?" -- these UK charts are just a treasure trove of unheard stuff. Kelly Marie (who?) with a British #1, the disco-y "Feels Like I'm in Love".
OMFG: Grace Jones covering the Pretenders' "Private Life", drama baby leave me OUT!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thtQngqG4vgeek: ELO from
Xanadu which was on TV the other night and is still dreadful.
Hot Choc's "Are You Getting Enough?" is another lost gem of theirs.
That Tom Browne -- he is a ordinary guy, huh huh huh.
