The country was three years into Margaret Thatcher's Prime Ministership, the recession had started to bite, key industries were beginning to be closed down and unemployment passed the 2-and-a-half million mark for the first time in 50 years. https://tinyurl.com/2fztvkht",

            "comment": "On this day, Joe Jackson released this debut album in 1979.\nThe album features one of Jackson's most well-known songs, \"Is She Really Going Out with Him?\", as well as the title track \"Look Sharp\", \"Sunday Papers\", \"One More Time\" and \"Fools in Love\". \"Sunday Papers\" is a takedown of the Fleet Street press, the UK print media that were prone to cover sensationalistic and frightening news stories to boost readership. Jackson had his battles with the press, who often categorized him in ways that weren't to his liking (New Wave?). His message here: don't trust everything you read, and don't let it affect your lifestyle. - https://bit.ly/3svP3bL",

            "comment": "The band says:\n“When we started writing ‘Straight Men’, it all started as a bit of a laugh in all honesty,” continues Hall. “I have a group of gay men outside a nightclub to thank for the hook ‘I’m really f****** scared of straight men’. It stuck with me for a while as I couldn’t quite shake it off. I think about the term ‘straight men’ and the feelings that arise, and how we really need to do better to achieve a shift in culture and change the universal experience that too many people face each day. If you sit by while your friend is being intimidating and outright inappropriate, you’re complicit in their behaviour. Call it out.”\nhttps://alcopop.bandcamp.com/album/straight-men\n\nMusic video (warning: flashing lights): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afwpGbPxDGA",

            "comment": "Most of the effects and the bass line were made with a Moog synthesizer. At the time, this was no easy task. Said Dolby:\n\n\"When I started out writing songs, synthesizers were still quite a rarified luxury. They were quite hard to get hands on and quite hard to operate. And when you did, there was still quite a lot of resistance in the mainstream to music made electronically. And so that was a natural place for me to be, because I wanted to be challenged and stimulated like that. But over the years, the whole realm of our choices become more democratized, shall we say, to the extent that on your iPhone today for a few bucks you can probably have more powerful synthesizers and samplers than I had in my entire studio back in the early '80s.\"",

            "comment": "On this day in 2008: Vampire Weekend releases Vampire Weekend\n--\n\"The song is mostly preoccupied with the awkward fumblings of a young stoner and a young preppie, the former of whom wants to fool around with the latter but also feels 'so unnatural' about it. Appropriately, the groove of the tune is less kwassa kwassa and more tentative suburbia, building tension by alternating a stop-start arpeggiated guitar line with Koenig’s vocals, as a bongo-driven polyrhythm carries the song forward with an air of amateurishness that disguises its virtuosity.\"\n\nRead more from this 10-year retrospective of Vampire Weekend's eponymous debut:  https://tinyurl.com/bdhnwc67",

He recounted the recording process, \"There we were with all these mic cables, my drums, and a set of headphones,\" says Blaine. \"When the chorus came around — the 'lie-la-lie' bit — Roy [Halee] had me come down on my snare drum as hard as I could. In that hallway, by the elevator shaft, it sounded like a cannon shot! Which was just the kind of sound we were after.\nhttps://simonandgarfunkel.com",
