The 80s New Wave and Alternative Group

About

Description
One of the most comprehensive collections of 80s new wave music and videos available online, featuring artists ranging from the more popular and mainstream (Duran Duran, Billy Idol) to the solid foundations (New Order, The Cure). A phenomenal source for rare and hard-to-find tracks and artists.

Members are not only permitted to upload content, but encouraged to do so. Your only limitations are decade and genre.

If there's something you'd like to hear and can't find it, ask. My failures are few.

(Please Note:: Only fully-streamed music is available here - no 30-second previews. If you upload a song and find it's been removed, it's because the song was truncated to a 30-second preview.)

blog post Two David Byrne releases upcoming

Fans of The Talking Heads (particularly their avant-garde frontman, David Byrne) have two CDs to look forward to this fall and winter...

David Byrne's album "Music for the Knee Plays", a brass band-and-spoken work score for Robert Wilson's theater piece "The Knee Plays" was recorded in 1984 and has been one of the hardest finds for Byrne completists since. The album was originally released on vinyl and tape only and has never been officially released on CD.

Recently, David went through his archives to dig up the original masters and stumbled on a bunch of unreleased stuff, pictures and unfinished recordings. From all of this, a special edition of "Knee Plays" will be compiled for release on CD this October.

Also, the previsouly announced and cancelled live CD "Live from Austin Texas" got a new release date - the live CD is now scheduled for release on January 8, 2008 and is available for pre-order from Amazon now.

The CD contains a selection of songs from David's "Eyeball Tour" recorded in Austin, TX and contains a mix of tracks from the Talking Heads era, early solo work and the love-it-or-hate-it cover of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody".

Track listing:
1. (Nothing But) Flowers
2. God's Child
3. And She Was
4. Once In A Lifetime
5. Great Intoxication
6. Marching Through The Wilderness
7. Revolution
8. This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)
9. What A Day That Was
10. Descondido Soy
11. Like Humans Do
12. Life During Wartime
13. I Wanna Dance With Somebody
