Driving back from the office and one of my dj mix i had made in the late 1980s came on (random play on usb). Had totally forgotten about this one song, Electrica Salsa by Off, aka Sven Vath. Anybody remembers that song?

Strawberry Switchblade, in the latter part of the band's existence, around 1986. Although it's a monochrome photo, they were wearing uncharacteristically colourful stuff this day.

Bauhaus, Mask, 1981 on Beggars Banquet
Second studio album from Bauhaus and their first on Beggars Banquet (In The Flat Field was on 4AD), with a cover drawn by Daniel Ash, across a gatefold and on the labels.
The first five Bauhaus records are are perfect – as is the singles collection 1979-1983 and most of the bands that followed in the Bauhaus diaspora (Dali’s Car, Love and Rockets, and Tones on Tail).
My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is the 2023 reissue pressed at GZ Media.

XTC
Oranges And Lemons
2020 UK 2xLP reissue
Last few spins before I head to Boston for a week, so I’m going for a few I haven’t heard in a while, starting with this one.
Oranges And Lemons reminds me of something I’ve wanted to ask for a while, but keep forgetting.
It is the second instalment in what might be my favorite 3-album stretch by anybody ever.
The run of Oranges And Lemons bookended by Skylarking and Nonsuch is so astonishing, that it’s quite remarkable.
For me personally, the only other run I can hold in the same regard is Radiohead’s stretch from The Bends to Kid A, The Cure’s from Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me to Wish, or the first three Sabbath albums.
Maybe other than Radiohead, I’d have to put the rest under the XTC stretch.
This was the 2nd XTC album I bought with my own $, & like Nonsuch, the first 3 songs are total master classes in pop songwriting.

MORAL LEPERS
Turn To Stone
1982 Canada pressing
A bit of an obscure one, from an all-female post-punk band from Vancouver.
Self described as "Five politically conscious people who conduct ourselves in a politically conscious way”, this 6-song E.P. is really great.
Touches of Patti Smith, Television, Suburban Lawns, Slits, Au Pairs and about ten other things I can’t quite put my finger on.
As politically charged as they were, there’s a #psychedelic quirk to some of these songs, and dare I say, some are close to danceable.
Only 500 of these were pressed, so they’re not too common, but if you have a way to hear it; physically, streaming or otherwise, please do.
Pretty interesting stuff.
