Posting “Jimmy Jimmy “ reminded me of Julie Birchill’s obsessive hatred of Fergal Sharkley, which then reminded me of the NME.
She was a journalist with the New Musical Express, which was Hipster four decades before the term was born. It was so hipster that despite being mainly devoted to punk they voted this the record of the year in 1978

Dominic, your favourite “Jimmy Jimmy” is very good, but it is not the only one that matters. The Undertones JJ is a fantastic song about a naive young man being drawn into a vicious sectarian conflict, so it does matter.

Bit of bad ass blues-rock. Guess it appeared on Peaky Blinders from the thumbnail, but I can't recall it specially. Their soundtrack is easily one of the goat anyway.

We must all strive never to forget the influence of The Ventures on 60s Japanese pop music. The guy on the Mosrite played the young doctor in Kurosawa's Red Beard.

Been bathing in 80s Japanese POP for a while now and wow it's good.

Japanese producers seem to click the right buttons with 100% accuracy + love their fetish for OG basslines, clever gimmicks and epic keyboards. I think one day i'll go there and wow the locals with a flawless kararaoke performance of any Momoko Kikuchi title.

Not to mention my man Toshiki Kadomatsu who had the brilliant idea to flank himself with Richard Tee the G.O.A.T on organ on this outstanding track.

Marcus Miller also chipped in like no problem

From Japanese pop we go to the band “Big in Japan”, but there is nothing to see but the lead singer wearing a lampshade on her shaved head. We follow the trail of Holly Johnson to this, like most great records it was initially banned by the BBC.
