in strict tempo

Photobucket

Dave Ball - In Strict Tempo (1983)

Although it lacks the energy and personality of Marc Almond, I still appreciate this first solo album from Dave Ball of Soft Cell. Genesis P. Orridge does guest vocals on two tracks, so everything is ok.

2 Belgen - Essential (2007) + Energy (Special DJ Mix) (1986)

A career-spanning collection of 80's musics by 2 Belgians from Belgium + a (mediocre?) mid-80's single. Their early stuff kinda reminds of early Cure or Associates on tracks like Cocaine but then Lena is fullblown italo so like go figure.

The Return of Egg City Radio's Post Punk Film Fest....



Anyone in LA in to what happens here would also be way in to Egg City Radio's Post Punk Film Fest 2 at the Cinefamily.

The other nights are sure to hold unimaginable bounties as well.

Thursday, Feb. 4th - Night Flight presents A Tribute To New Wave Theatre
Thursday, Feb. 11th - Post-Punk Junk Mix Night (feat. Car Cemetery)
Thursday, Feb. 18th - Athens, GA: Inside Out (w/ filmmakers in person!)
Thursday, Feb. 25th - Liquid Sky (w/ director Slava Tsukerman in person!)
