Prince Just as Vanessa Williams trilled back in the early 90s, I went and saved one of the best for last. 2016 has been a c-bomb of a year for losing a lot of great artists and none more fabulous than the great Purple One – Prince! Like […]
When I came up with the idea of Sunday Sessions, what feels like many moons ago now, I had to list out all 52 artists/bands/singers before I knew I could go ahead with the series. I also knew that when I listed the music that had an impact […]
Jem! If I’m going to include the entire soundtrack to my life then skipping out on the band who was probably THE most influential in my formative years would be sheer sacrilege. Yes dear dollface, Jem and The Holograms is the reason why: I love pop/rock music, wanted a keytar […]
Diesel During this past week my favourite oldies radio station here in Melbourne kept advertising the fact that they were throwing an end of year party and one of my most adored Aussie singers would be special guest. Back in October I told you all about my beloved […]
Depeche Mode You all know I’m a rocker chick deep down and that my heart beats to the sound of a fabulous rock guitar solo, but sometimes there’s nothing quite like an electronica dance beat and keyboard ensemble that sets my soul on fire. As with most of my musical […]
Lou Reed I must admit I was a fan of Lou Reed’s way before I’d even heard any of his music. Truth be told, I was fixated on his and The Velvet Underground’s involvement with Andy Warhol and the whole Factory scene. We all know what a huge […]
Roxette There must be something in the water in Sweden. First ABBA bewitched the world in the 70/80s with their fabulousness and then Roxette* did it again in the late 80s and 90s with their catchy AF pop hooks. Not only are these Swedes genetically gorgeous but they’re musically gifted as hell […]
Color Me Badd In the early 90s there were two things I loved equally and passionately; Beverly Hills 90210 and Color Me Badd. The former because, duh it was the best show ever, and the latter because they were colourful (hence the name), their songs were catchy and […]
Pseudo Echo When I was 15 I would spend most Saturday nights at home with my bestie, Tez, and we’d have the place to ourselves. More often than not we’d order pizzas and settle in for a night of either the latest release from Blockbuster or the newest episode […]
CDB What is it about the mix of music and teenagers that brings about such manic obsession? (Some may argue I still have this obsession in my 30s!) We’ve all had those bands/singers, when we were kids, that we just absolutely gagged over. Music that you would listen […]
