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.

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.

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.
