One of my alltime favorites from the 80' is Depeche Mode's album Music for the Masses, which was mixed at Puk Studios in Denmark.

Another topsong from Depeche Mode is Personal Jesus, one of their singles.

The Anton Corbijn-directed music video for "Personal Jesus" is his first Depeche Mode video in color, and features the band in a ranch. MTV edited out some suggestive mouth movements of Martin Gore during the bridge and replaced it with some other footage from the video.

The video is not one of my favorites though, I find it rather flat. I guess the band wanted a holiday in Mexico?

One of my alltime favorites from the 80' is Depeche Mode's album Music for the Masses, which was mixed at Puk Studios in Denmark.

The video for "Never Let Me Down Again" was shot in Denmark. There's a Danish license plate on the little car, and I think, based on the landscape, it's shot in the middle part of Jutland, not far from the Puk Studios.

One of the greatest rock opera's is Tommy by The Who.

It was made as a movie directed by Ken Russel and produced by Ken Russel and Robert Stigwood.

The trailer to the movie: Tommy

And to round this little Tommy cavalcade off, which actually made me download the cd, so I have listened to it the past couple of days, I've found this bootleg from a concert, where The Who are performing the ending song from Tommy, We're Not Gonna Take It.

We're Not Gonna Take It

Tommy had become a cultleader, and his minions are rebelling, leaving him back, deaf, dumb, and blind, as he was before, lost in his own world inside the mirror.

Tommy: Welcome to the Camp,
I guess you all know why we're here.
My name is Tommy
and I became aware this year

If you want to follow me,
you've got to play pinball.
And put in your earplugs
put on your eyeshades
you know where to put the cork

Hey you getting drunk, so sorry!
I've got you sussed.
Hey you smoking Mother Nature!
This is a bust!
Hey hung up old Mr. Normal,
Don't try to gain my trust!
'Cause you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways
Although you think you must

Guests:
[whispering]
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
[/whispering]


We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take it
Gonna break it, gonna shake it,
let's forget it better still

Tommy: Now you can't hear me,
your ears are truly sealed.
You can't speak either,
your mouth is filled.
You can't see nothing,
and pinball completes the scene.
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to
Your very own machine.

Guests:
[shouting]
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
[/shouting]

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don't want no religion
And as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take you
We forsake you
Gonna rape you
Let's forget you better still.

Tommy:
See me.
Feel me.
Touch me.
Heal me.

Listening to you,
I get the music.
Gazing at you,
I get the heat.
Following you,
I climb the mountains.
I get excitement at your feet.

Right behind you,
I see the millions.
On you,
I see the glory.
From you,
I get opinions.
From you,
I get the story.

Tommy: Acid Queen


Yes, this scene in the movie is weird, and it's a long download, almost 9 minutes, but it goes well to the movie's psychedelic feeling, and Tina Turner is great as the Acid Queen.

That was excellent! Almost reminded me of the good ol' days. Tina was fantastic.

I'll try to find some of the others of my favorites from the album, such as Amazing Journey, Acid Queen, Christmas, and Sally Simpson.

And Acid Queen played by Tina Turner:

One of the songs from Tommy is Cousin Kevin played by Paul Nicholas:

Cousin Kevin

Lyrics:

We're on our own, cousin,
All alone, cousin.
Let's think of a game to play
Now the grown-ups have all gone away.
You won't be much fun
Being blind, deaf and dumb.
But I've no-one to play with today.
Do you know how to play hide-and-seek?
To find me it would take you a week,
But tied to that chair
You won't go anywhere
There's a lot I can do with a freak.
How would you feel if I
Turned on the bath,
Ducked your head under
And started to laugh?
What would you do if I shut you outside,
To stand in the rain
And catch cold so you died?

I'm the school bully!
The classroom cheat.
The nastiest playfriend
You ever could meet.
I'll stick pins in your fingers
And tread on your feet...

Maybe a cigarette burn on your arm
Would change your expression
To one of alarm.
I'll drag you round by a lock of your hair
Or give you a push
At the top of the stairs...

I'm the school bully!
The classroom cheat.
The nastiest playfriend
You ever could meet.
I'll put glass in your dinner
And spikes in your seat...

A classic from the 80' is Tears for Fears: Mad World

About the video is not much to say about, except it's easy to see it's one of the earliest musicvideos made, and that I thought, the first time I saw it "what the f*** is he doing out in that garden?" about Roland's performance in it. The lipsync is not good either.

But take a look yourself, the song is a great popsong, covered by many:

Join Calm Chaos

If you want to know how Foamy's "father" really sounds like, this video is from his second album. I have only heard his first album, as I downloaded it, and the second is not available in iTunes yet, so I can't judge about the lyrics in this song. I can only say that the lyrics on his first album are just as sharp as Foamy's oppinions.

But take a look and hear Foamy's "voice"

Jonathan Ian: Dear Maiden (Quicktime Video)

He says about it himself:

"Also, there's a video available for the song "Dear Maiden". Don't expect too much, it was made using public domain footage from the Prelinger Collection, so there's no high-tech fancy stuff goin' on. It's just something to watch.

Later.
J.I."
