Number 8 in my personal #80sTop30, it’s the wonderful Blow Monkeys.

Digging Your Scene, 1986.

I love this song & the album it was taken from, Animal Magic.

What I really like about the Blow Monkeys is the way that they fully embrace shiny pop music but the lyrics are often surprisingly radical!

My longstanding love affair with @theblowmonkeys.bsky.social started here, about 40 years ago. Only just re-got this on vinyl, so had forgotten what a brilliant album it is. Post-punky, jazzy, dark and sophisticated; brilliant songwriting and musically v sophisticated. Great stuff 👌

#CDFriday with The Blow Monkeys new album, Birdsong. Dr. Robert and the group always do an excellent job and this one is no different. Short but energetic songs here that are all fun listens. Really like Shadowplay a lot for how it sounds like a Blur song. #NowPlaying

I finally got around to listening to @theblowmonkeys.bsky.social new album Birdsong. Full of all those fabulously familiar funk riffs, bass lines and beauty. My current favourite is when Dr Robert goes all introspective on Giving Up The Ghost. Man oh man this is beautiful.

#WeekendSingles some of you may be aware I'm on a weekend away in Blackpool at the darts. A lovely day in St Annes today peaked finding this beauty by @theblowmonkeys.bsky.social. Not sure I've come across a 12" single put together with so much detail. A lovely thing and a fabulous song
