Congratulations on your Lions 3KZ is Football you must have had a very big weekend.

It was exciting. My phone went nuts at half time. 20+ messages from people telling me that the Lions were ‘home’. A popular victory I think, especially for those of us whose hearts reside between Smith and Nicholson streets.

Page 80 - all my songs from 1980 were on the Spotify playlist I published earlier. The good news is that we are now entering into THE decade.

Vale Kris Kristopherson.

Kris Kristofferson Stood by Sinead O’Connor as the Boos Rained Down

At a moment when the Irish singer had few people defending her, the country music veteran showed strong support. It created a bond that remained throughout their lives.

1980


Swanston Street cafes still had these in the 1980's. I remember one of these cafes was called the Golden Tower can't remember the others names.

FM Radio Stations.
The first commercial FM station was EON-FM (3EON-FM) Melbourne on 11 July 1980.
The first to launch, EON FM in Melbourne (later Triple M), shifted its initial playlist focus from album tracks to the Top 40, with immediate success. AM radio’s hold on the music listener would end abruptly, many of their best-known presenters and production personnel switching to FM employment throughout the 1980s.



The first song played on EON FM:


John Lennon was shot 8/12/1980 I heard about it on the radio.

The 1980 Quintessential Release:

A friend of mine lived in a share house with the late artist and CIT Alumni Russell Goodman who was a couple of years older than us. I was visiting her one day and he put Love Will Tear Us Apart on. I knew the song and loved it, but the vibe was that we were being initiated into some special new level of enlightenment. It was a bit wanky, so I reverted to snarky bolshevik school boy and interrupted the one eye open reverie with, “I know this song. It’s Devo’s new single isn’t it?”

Initiation over.

 

[3KZ is Football]

In my mind this was a great companion song for Love Will Tear Us Apart. New Order’s version of this track was brilliant, but with studio time and effort I think that Joy Division’s Ceremony could have rivalled Love Will Tear Us Apart

I watched this again in what must be the firstime in 50 years. I have been sitting on a still from the film in one of my notes, that I use to store images for later use. The still is from the Flea market when he looks at the painting of the girl with the hoop. Do you think I can find it when I need it.
But I did find this Saul Steinberg image:

Apropos of nothing, and it's nothing to do with the 80s, I played this album last night for the first time in many years and it's still an absolute cracker.



October and November are the months for going back and listening to stuff in my collection or going and finding some new stuff.

Must have something to do with the lack of football......

Serge Gainsbourg museum swimming in debt despite success with visitors

The Serge Gainsbourg house and museum in Paris has been put into receivership, a kind of bankruptcy, because of alleged financial mismanagement by one of its financial backers. The museum can no longer…

Serge Gainsbourg Paris home museum in receivership

The company behind a museum devoted to Serge Gainsbourg, one of France's most loved - and notorious - musicians, has gone into receivership barely a year after it opened, according to court rulings.

Interesting that it will still be trading as it's my aim to go there the next time I'm in that town.

Countdown to Paris is beginning in earnest. We have changed our plans, having swapped out a week in Normandy for a week in Berlin.
So now it’s Paris —> Amsterdam—> Berlin —> Athens —> Thessaloniki —> Rhodes —> Crete.

Sounds like a fabulous trip. Am a teensy tiny bit jealous.

Easy to be wanting to fly off, I haven't stepped onto a plane for 7 years so well overdue.
I hope 3KZ is Football & Co have an amazing trip with many adventures to enjoy.

I would give my top four favourite painters as Leonora Carrington, Philip Guston, James Ensor and Goya.

Seventy-five years after the artist’s death, the grotesque masquerades he painted aren’t so far from the manipulated faces of the present day.
