🎶🎶 Grito De Bo Fidje – Boy Gé Mendes

📨 Like many in France at the time, I discovered Boy Gé Mendes, the Cape Verdean guitarist and vocalist, born in 1952 in Dakar, Sénégal, through an ad on TV. But there's more to his career than the song "Grito De Bo Fidje".

US #CD issue.

I incorporated all my father's CDs into my collection even though I don't listen to them, ever. He's really into #Jazz and I'm unfortunately not. Ever since I got into #ChinaCrisis though, it started to tickle me that maybe I have to check out some of his CDs. When he brought them over, he asked me to play this to see what it was like again, so that's why this one's the first I try. Easy on the ears and good study music!

I can't get any rest.
People say I'm obsessed.

Everything you say is lies.
But to me there's no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do.

She drives me crazy (oh-oh)
Like no one else (oh-oh)
She drives me crazy,
and I can't help myself.

"The 1983 LP introduced a generation to hip-hop and mashed up style – but by not crediting Black musicians, it was also cultural appropriation."

#NowPlaying: #INXS - Kick
1987 European #CD issue.

I have known about their song Need You Tonight since childhood and it's brilliant, but I never knew that it segued so amazingly into the next song. That's the kind of stuff I always missed out on by listening only to my liked songs... I like this album, good and poppy and it's got a distinctly cool vibe and sleek production.

#NowPlaying: #PetShopBoys - Actually.
1987 European issue.

Listened to this album before, absentmindedly, and swiftly forgot, but since this album came out this week 36 years ago, I decided to give it a spin again. Now is the best time, after all. The album has a chill, laid-back style which I quite like. Quite pleasant, definitely will listen to it more!

#NowPlaying: #Erasure - Wild!
1990 Australian #CD issue.

Since I liked #DepecheMode's debut and #Yazoo's sophomore album, I was happy to find this CD by Erasure, since #VinceClarke was in all three groups. When I listened to it for the first time it didn't really hit and I have been dreading listening to it again. Now that I'm hearing it again it doesn't seem so bad anymore, but it doesn't seem that interesting still. Maybe that is yet to come.

#introduction hello fediverse! I'm a cis/trans guy (it's complicated) and a product of the #90s. But I love #80s stuff best= #80scartoons #80sanime #80sfashion #80smusic etc. I recently started watching #Gundam #MobileSuitGundamZeta.

I'm a self-taught cartoonist and #furry. My #fursona is a worse (wolf/horse, mostly horse) named Animal. Basically a #feral gray horse with paws instead of hooves. I like furry characters who are more animal-like than humanoid, #Xenofiction like #WatershipDown and #SpiritStallionOfTheCimarron. Besides animals I also like to draw #toony humans at times.

Hmm, what else? I'm #ActuallyAutistic though online autism communities annoy me. I'd like to meet more #vegan and #vegetarian friends. May post weird kinks from time to time... I love #StLouis and want to see the whole American #RustBelt restored. My coworkers call me laidback, quiet, chill and "so calm all the time, no matter what."

This week's #80smusic #flashbackfriday comes from The Motels "Suddenly Last Summer" (1983). Not only is the song celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year but it was also featured in Episode 3 of our podcast. #TheMotels #80s #boomtownpodcast

#NowPlaying: #ChinaCrisis - Flaunt the Imperfection
1985 original #CD issue.

One of my favourite albums of all time. Such a smooth and pleasant listen. I was very lucky to find it in my frequented record store this week as normally China Crisis appears rarely. I don't really have more to say than 5/5.
