The first copy of #IntoTheGroove is here! I am so delighted with it. Thanks to my supportive, generous first readers: @quantick.bsky.social, @davidstubbs.bsky.social, @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social, @wadeywade.bsky.social and @juderogers.bsky.social.

Front cover of
INTO THE GROOVE:
THE 1980S:
The Ultimate Decade in Music History
by Justin Lewis (me)

Inside front cover:
The eighties was one of the most innovative periods in the history of pop music - and even forty years on remains one of the best loved, championed by radio, television, advertisements, theatre and films, with many of the key acts still performing and recording.

Into the Groove is a tale of pop and circumstance. It charts the global state of pop music month by month from January 1980 to December 1989, highlighting a wide variety of events and tracing the career paths of hundreds of noteworthy acts around the world, from Salt-N-Pepa to the Sugarcubes, Kate Bush to Kraftwerk, Run-DMC to INXS, and Neneh Cherry to Youssou N'Dour.

It celebrates genres of all kinds - the enduring and the faddish, the mainstream and the underground, post-punk and acid house, heavy rock and electronic, hip hop and teen pop. And it showcases many of the decade's landmark recordings, figures and events, while also revealing plenty of intriguing lesser-known stories to create a wry and diverse musical tapestry.

The perfect gift for any music lover or eighties aficionado, Into the Groove is an endlessly entertaining homage to the 1980s.

£16.99

Jacket author bio for Into the Groove:

JUSTIN LEWIS is a writer, researcher and editor, who grew up during the 1980s and even started writing and presenting for local radio before the decade ended. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of popular music and a deep understanding of what makes it such a passion for so many people. He was been an editor, writer and contributor to various print and online music publications for more than thirty years, including The Guinness Book of Hit Singles and The Rough Guide to Rock. His most recent book is Don't Stop the Music: A year of Pop History, One Day at a Time. He lives in Swansea, in Wales.

ELLIOTT & THOMPSON (publishers)

Back cover reviews:

TRAVEL BACK TO THE 1980S...
and discover an epic collection of remarkable facts, notable events and fascinating anecdotes from the decade's diverse and inventive music scene.

'Justin Lewis tells pop's never-ending story brilliantly. Every day he writes the book, and the book is amazing.'
DAVID QUANTICK, Emmy Award-winning writer and novelist

'Forensic, forthright and downright unputdownable, the perfect pop book for anyone who came of age (or indeed anybody else) during pop's giddiest and most experimental decade.'
IAN WADE, author of 1984: THE YEAR POP WENT QUEER

'Like a treasure chest of pop riches... I loved this book!'
SAMIRA AHMED, journalist and broadcaster

Additional reviews:

'A brilliantly detailed topography of probably the greatest of all pop decades, the 1980s, whose music even those unborn back then still live with and love on a daily basis. Invaluable both for pop fans and pop historians.'
DAVID STUBBS, music journalist

'A delightful, curious compendium, full of flipsides to pop’s glossiest decade'
JUDE ROGERS, music journalist and broadcaster

My Irish Track of the Day: Funny Ha Ha by The Would Be's. Indie pop from Kingscourt, Co. Cavan. Released in 1990 on their EP Silly Songs for Cynical People. Championed by John Peel, with jangly guitars, brass hooks & standout vocals from Eileen Gogan. youtu.be/USAnZ2_txxM?... #IrishMusic

Irish Track of the Day The Fuze – It’s a Sunday Morning Galway’s own The Fuze brought catchy hooks and jangly guitars to the ‘80s Irish scene. Think power-pop with heart, harmonies, and just a hint of sunshine. Watch: youtu.be/yqPAwqGTkik More: irishrockers.com/artist/The%2... #IrishMusic

I've started playing one classic Irish song every day and I'm going to share them here. Today's is Galway's 'The Swinging Swine' Them Ghosts Do Come (1987). Joanne Loughman has one of the purest voices I've ever heard, and that wonderful jangly guitar? Pure magic. youtu.be/a4m2gDMbVNI?...

Last week my colleague Alex Browne joined me in the studio and we discussed his work at UCC Library, his PhD with UCC Geography Dept. And we talked a good bit about libraries. We also chatted about his music selection (and the impact video gaming has had on the music he likes.) bit.ly/Shush293

Love this plaque outside @leedsbeckett.bsky.social Library honouring the meeting of Marc Almond and Dave Ball / Soft Cell at the University HT @librariancoral.bsky.social for taking the pic and sending on. She guessed I’d love it - she was correct. 😊
