steppenwolf Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 The Robot was switched off in 1989.In the equivalent of a robot coma,stuck in a cupboard, cleared out and destined for a car boot sale– he was bought by ‘Mum’ for 50p as a gift for her 8 year old. She installed new batteries and switched the robot on again in August 2013.The family were astounded that he was still functioning.After a successful reboot the robot began to analyse his surroundings and before long was ready to speak. As he began to voice his thoughts,they realised he was definitely stuck in the 1980s!They named him… The Retrobot The Retrobot is amazed and upset by what he sees around him today.In 1989 Kylie & Jason sang Especially For You and its his favourite record. Checking out the chart today, a culture shock in itself, he was totally angered by what he saw. He hates Miley Cyprus, or whatever her name is (he often gets things comically wrong)– even worse is Baby Gaga, Robin Thicko and Broccoli Spears. He needed to do something about it.He was amazed to find out that Mike Stock was not still dominating the charts in 2013,and persuaded him to come out of his retirement home in Brighton and help promote his Christmas record for the whole family to enjoy... Christmas Robot - The Retrobot It has landed... Christmas Robot - The Retrobot ..and so have them! O Come All Ye Faithful - Susan Boyle & Elvis Presley Christmas # 1 for 2013?

The first spin was a bit bleah but the song grew on me.I think there could be a dance mix in the line for this song.

steppenwolf Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) This is the best Brit Pop music magazine ever (since Smash Hits that is)! It's full of Brit Pop at its best (lotsa 80s stuff),and little nuggets like this one here... It's not every day you get to say you've sung with Jimmy Somerville,but that's exactly what happened to one busker after he was surprised by the former Bronski Beat and Communards singer during an afternoon shift singing on a Berlin shopping street. The unnamed musician was performing Bronski's hit Smalltown Boy when Somerville suddenly appeared beside him, walking his dog.The Scottish singer immediately joined in with the song, leaving the busker speechless! No where can you get to watch clips like this one, but Classic Pop! Edited February 7, 2014 by steppenwolf glowingember 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowingember Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Luv the little clip of Jimmy Sommerville and busker. That's priceless. When I was in Sec school, I didn't like falsetto singing and especially Sommerville's singing until my friend showed me Small Town Boy's lyrics. It all became so clear and I've been fan of Sommerville's songs then. Back to Brit Got Talent.Lumintes' Do Something. There's this star quality about the members...

glowingember Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 FGTHThis was a monster hit then. There were at least 2 versions of the songs. When it was banned in 1983, I remember Holly Johnson said the song was about telling people to chill and nothing about sex.But actually it is and was about sex. The notoriety sent the song back to the charts once at number 1 and a second time at number 2.
