Red Top- King Pleasure
(One of the coolest songs of all time, you could do cartwheeels in the space of this groove.)
Lipstick Traces- Mink DeVille
(Not the Allen Toussaint tune, but a track that jumped out at me during my Willy DeVille binge last week.)
Living In Another World- Talk Talk
(Hard to pick just one from "The Colour Of Spring.")
Anything For You- Jack Blades & Robin Zander
(A new discovery courtesy of hpunch, from Night Ranger singer's 2012 release "Rock N Roll Ride," with help from Robin Zander, dig this little power pop gem. And Cheap Trick fans with smart ears might recognize the Zander section, which he recycled 10 years later for "So It Goes," on CT's "In Another World" album.)
Pay Me- Tom Waits
("It's nobody's business but mine when I'm low/To hold yourself up is not a crime here you know")
Hold On Tight- David Werner
(Always fun to pull this lost 1979 classic off the shelf.)
Topaz- The B-52's
(Pure bliss from Kate & Cindy.)

Where has that David Werner song been all my life?
Disappointed that that David Werner record never got a cd release. It's not what's right.
Here's a David Werner vinyl rip, if that helps.

driving around Chicago in 1979, it seemed like every time Ellen Foley's "Young Lust" played on the radio, David Werner's "Every New Romance" came next. magical time.
Love Topaz and the rest of Cosmic Thing. Happy Sunday!
I was just listening to Living in another World while running this week, and oh my, is that a prime example of sophisticated BritPop...just a delight
