I've blogged for my next 3 choices. 2005 -2007 now done. Sufjan Stevens (great), Camera Obscura (very good) and M.I.A (not for me)

.. and have now blogged my next 2. Love, ire+song by Frank Turner and Album by Girls. Preferred the Turner album out of the two but neither will be near my favourites of the challenge. Should get to 2017 in the next week or so with 7 albums to go.

I started on the 80's at the weekend with my first listen of Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. I felt a bit of a fraud listening to my first Dead Kennedys album in my slippers whilst drinking tea, so I'd best give another listen when I've got my Doc Martens on!

I remember FFFRV getting a one-star review in Sounds from, I think, Dave McCullough, as Everything That Was Wrong With "Punk".

Replayed it last night and enjoyed it. 14yo daughter however was not impressed with it!

Finally blogged Closer for Joy Division which means I have officially started the 80s! I've also sorted most of the rest of my choices for the decade as well so I'll be picking up the pace again. I'm finding it a bit harder because I already have a fair bit of music from this time onwards so it's more challenging to find something that's newish that I want to try.

Tin Drum has arrived! First impressions are that it's *very* eighties, especially the synth-drum things. Also I can't decide if I like David Sylvian's way of singing or if it's actually affected nonsense. I'll give it a few more listens to make my mind up.

Highly affected but brilliant. Check out the Georgio Moroder (sp!!) produced Quiet life. Pure 80's!
