Strawberry Switchblade on kids TV show Wide Awake Club, March 1985. In honour of the Oxford v Cambridge boat race they're trying to make something that looks vaguely like a rowing boat. It's a swiss roll with ice cream & plastic spoons pushed into it.
And as Strawberry Switchblade are assisting, strawberries are used to approximate the rowers. Asked if they're any good at cooking, Jill's sarcastic 'really good' reply is hilarious.
Love bites, love bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Love lives, love dies
It's no surprise
Love begs, love pleads
It's what I need.
Love Bites
Def Leppard
THE GAS
From The Cradle To The Grave
1983 UK pressing
This is an incredible album, & before today, I had never seen a copy of it on vinyl. My knowledge of it came from a few blogs about #obscure music, and I’ve only owned it in really poor digital files.
This was the 2nd of their two albums, to go along with their five official singles, of tight punchy rock.
Now that I have this, I’m on a mission to find their debut, Emotional Warfare.

An album I haven’t heard since I was in college. I don’t remember it, but I’m digging it. 20/20 Look Out! (1981) #80s #80smusic #WeekendUnwind
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Nebraska
2015 U.S. RSD Reissue
If there was ever a record for a bleak, dark, rainy Sunday… this is it.
Nebraska is the #brucespringsteen album I’ve listened to most. A wonderful, stark, bare bones album of powerful, stripped down songs, done on a 4-track machine in his bedroom.
Masterpiece.
I listen to this pressing more than my original, because despite the source material being not well recorded to begin with, this one sounds better.

It's #cassunday, & as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Strawberry Switchblade's album this week, here's the Japanese cassette.
Japanese releases were so lavish - the vinyl came with an OBI strip, booklet & poster. This cassette, despite the size restrictions, had a fold out leaflet of info & lyrics, & even a micro poster!
