Ova - The Granny Song (UK, 1984)
Jana Runnalls and Rosemary Schonfeld were Ova, a UK lesbian feminist duo frequently joined by other musicians. "The Granny Song," written by Schonfeld, is from their 1984 LP "Possibilities." Like their other music, it was released on the independent label "Stroppy Cow Records."
[lyrics]
"My grandmother told me, when I was still quite young
That way back in 1983 when she was thirty one
Well she told stories I just could not believe
And this is what she said to me
She said: 'Child,
They were building bombs that could destroy the earth
And there was acid rain on the trees
And when we raised our voices
They said 'It's all for the economy.'
We did what we had to do
And we had to break the law
I'm not saying 'Be like me'
I'm just saying what we did it for
You do what you have to do
But don't sit back and let the world die
Dow what you have to do
But don't sit back and let the world die
No no no no
She said the rich got richer, the poor died younger
Everybody lived on sugar beet
And women were not safe on the street
And the nuclear plants caused cancer
But the governments refused to answer
And there were starting countries where
Women could not feed their babies
While men sailed on their yachts on the sunny seas
And nobody thought they were to blame
They said it's always been the same
I can't believe all the things she said to me
Were happening back in 1983
She said..."

Take That - Tell Me Where I'm At (US, 1989)
Переглядів 3916 годин тому
"Tell Me Where I'm At" is an excellent B-side from Take That's 1989 single on Art Fist Records. The A-side, R.I.P., is also good but you can tell almost immediately that it was written and recorded in the late 80s, whereas this sounds just a bit more timeless. I'm all ears if anyone has more to share.
Pink Turds in Space - The Really, Really Depressing Song (Belfast, 1988)

I first encountered Belfast's Pink Turds in Space in 1991 as one half of a Slap-A- Ham Records split 7" co-anchored by Claremont, CA's Charred Remains (aka Man in the Bastard.) The Pink Turds' side featured a Morbid Mark illustration of Margaret Thatcher outfitted like an astronaut, adrift in an outer space-scape teeming with steaming piles of excrement that were orbiting the Earth like an aste...
Shotgun Solution - Neutron Bomb (Rome, 1983)
Переглядів 3819 годин тому
"Neutron Bomb" was a previously unreleased track by Shotgun Solution, an ear-melting Italian hardcore band who played with the likes of the Dead Kennedys. "Neutron Bomb" was included as a bonus track on an expanded 2016 Rave Up Records reissue of their one and only release, a 1983 7" called "Shotgun E.P." I can't make heads or tails of the lyrics beyond "Neutron Bomb" and haven't bothered to tr...

In 1962, Hudson Institute nuclear strategist Herbert Brennan introduced the term "Mutually Assured Destruction" (aka MAD or M.A.D.) to describe the folly of structuring international relations around a shared ability to blow the world sky high. Two decades later, teenage punk band Deadline noted the enduring relevance of Brennan's terminology with a furious 46-second blast of hardcore that warn...

This is the title track on Louisiana Red's "Antinuclear Blues," an album made in the spa town of Bad Windungen in February, 1983 after splitting with his second wife, folksinger Odetta, and moving to Hanover, FDR. Although he had been recording for 20 years at this point, Red struggled to have his material needs met in a predatory American music industry. He spent the rest of his life in German...

Kold Kreu - Don't Let 'Em Drop The Bomb [Vocal Mix] (Cleveland, 1984)
Переглядів 23521 день тому
All three versions of "Don't Let 'Em Drop the Bomb" from Kold Kreu's 1984 12" of the same name are already here on UA-cam. Nevertheless, an absence of attention to the record's lyrical content makes it worth revisiting. Additionally, consider this selection, the 7-minute "vocal mix," both a thematic retort to the the Bitch Band No. 1 song preceding it and a presidential prelude to the song that...

Claudia Robot - Alarmsignal (Austria, 1982)
Переглядів 628Місяць тому
Claudia Robot released her "Alarmsignal" LP in 1982 while still based in Vienna. The title song is one masterpiece on an LP containing several. "Alarmsignal" also turned up as a B-side of the "Scherbenlilli" single. Since 1945, enough songs have linked erotic love with atomic reaction that it constitutes a sub-genre of nuclear-influenced music. But Claudia Robot is unique in her usage of an ala...

Is it to do with publishing , ? Copyrights , etc, just iv got cd/lp already purchased might add ( meaning why it can't be uploaded?, just thought...
no, there is a particular approach to this channel and that is not something I plan to do.
Big 😅wow right!
@@adrianions2805 as one would say in Oakland, CA, doing this YT channel as a hobby is hella work! As is digitizing entire albums and dividing single tracks into songs, etc. And my list of stuff to upload is very long ... but because I sympathize with your plight as well as the plight of underpaid musicians, I suggest you visit bandcamp.
