Billy Cotton used to do a good Dam Busters.That was what the BBC used to call pop music in the old days.

That's nice. Also reminds me of the Cale/Eno one you posted which I also enjoyed (and also reminded me of David Byrne.)

Feels like a fitting point to commemorate Tony Allen, R.I.P.

Fair enough. Who do you still listen to the most from the old guard?

As for something new, how about this -

Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science:

Somebody please remind me to check out more Thomas Dolby after lockdown, when the charity shops reopen. Likewise that other whizzkid from the same period whose name I've forgotten. :)

I love the Four Brothers track posted. I bought the album Makorokoto on vinyl when it was widely released in the late 1980s. One of my earlier World Music adventures. The album cover on vinyl is so much better than the one on CD.

Sad news about Tony Allen. I only found out today. On one of the occasions I went to Womad in my late 40s, I was on a shuttle bus full of people half my age and less and none of them wanted to speak about any of the young acts. It was all "Tony Allen - so cool, this - and the stand out, that." All very interesting, seeing that it turned out he hadn't played there that year. But he had just released an album which they had listened to in their tents and felt was better than anything live.

Dare I say that one of Thomas Dolby's finest works is "Steve McQueen" by Prefab Sprout?. No, perhaps not - although it is. Dolby aural architecture. Stunning - especially on side one and the first half of side two. NME loved it for some years.

It's still highly acclaimed eg on RYM -

It's bolded, and in their Top 20 for 1985 (16).

Yes,RIP Tony Allen.
I also like Car Seat Headrest despite their silly name.

What did Paul McCartney do at the orgy? Come on people.
What did Eddie Cochran do at the orgy? Come on everybody.
What did One Direction do at the orgy? F**k all. They're shit.

Do you listen much to his older ones as well? There aren't that many classic albums (by any artist) that I bought as vinyl at the time, and still have, that I frequently revisit. I pretty much played them to death, though I've kept most of them.
