We're spending this beautiful autumn Saturday researching this, the final single from PSB's debut album, "Please". Who's a fan of "Suburbia"?

They've gotten my money again - for the fourth time! First VHS in 1991, then DVD in 1999, and blu-ray in 2008. I have to think that 4K will be the last home video format, so I'm probably good going forward.

Happy Friday! Yesterday was the 42nd anniversary of the release of Hysteria, but I hope you'll forgive me for being a day late in wearing my brand new "Fascination" shirt! (And yes, I know "Fascination" is a Human League Red song, and the shirt is blue, but isn't it pretty anyway?☺️)

Tom Bailey's solo "Science Fiction" is so strong that I don't mind ranking it alongside these total classics from the 80s. Twins were a top 3 band for young me and it's difficult to rank these because I love them all. This is what I felt today. #4 in a series. Collect them all! #SundayStackUp

As a reward for recording our last "Speak and Spell" episode, we drove to Emerald Isle, NC. We're on the beach today, but Sarah will verify that I edited the 2 hour 50 minute raw file this morning before we walked to the water. I only finished 5 minutes, but each journey begins with a single step!

Happy 71st birthday to Neil Tennant! Here's a shirt from the fantastic 2013 tour for their album "Electric." The Pet Shop Boys are truly one of the best live acts out there, as well as being one of the very best synthpop bands of all time!

Happy 63rd birthday to Dave Gahan! To celebrate, I'm wearing a T-shirt from his Paper Monsters solo tour. Brian and I were up against the stage for Dave's July 2003 performance at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia -- the closest we've ever gotten to him, or anyone else from Depeche Mode!
