I’m loving this nostalgic trip through the 80’s. Recollections of life in my teens.
The Max Headroom Show (1985) was a music video gig, with a liberal dosage of Max crashing in and interrupting things with his wacky wit and unique perspective on life in the “real world”. It’s hard to believe there were only 6 episodes of the first series. Ten and a Chrismtas bonus for the second series. The music and the vibe of that show really connected with my mind. So I’ve been digging through the track listings for the videos he played and I thought I’d post them here. There’s some absolute gems of the 80s.
Episode Two
Supertramp – Cannonball
Waysted – Love Loaded
Heat N Serve – Rats on a Budget (not the full video)
Bauhaus – Ziggy Stardust
Hit List – Into the Fire
(taken from “Saturday Live” from UK TV Channel 4, skip to 1m55s for track to start)
(or a clip from the actual Hit List music video)
China Crisis – King in a Catholic Style
Udo Lindenberg – Germans (introduced by Max Headroom himself!)
Hope you enjoy these as much as I did. :o)
