Y’know, if you name your kid Herbert or Poindexter, you’re just setting that child up for a lifetime of teasing and ridicule. And if you name your band Kajagoogoo, well, you can expect a certain amount of critical derision. That’s probably why after the success of the band’s first album, White Feathers, and Top 5 single, [...]

'Boomf," was the gist of the sound from the telly when the electricity failed us out our way on Saturday, ending our enjoyment of Manchester United v Bolton on Setanta. Actually, "enjoyment" wouldn't be entirely the right word; we'll just leave it at "viewing". It was 0-0 at the time, and 0-0 we were quite certain it would remain, writes .

As musically lost in the '80s as I am, even this Howard Jones wannabe can admit what's age well (The Pretenders' debut) versus what hasn't (KajaGooGoo's "White Feathers"). So when my friend Greg asked me if I wanted an extra copy of the reissue of "Into the Gap" by the Thompson Twins he'd wound up with, I wasn't entirely sure it was worth the shelf space in my humble Chelsea abode. In the end, he sent...

Gunny Highway: They are thinking of Sizzurp which is Promethazine with cough syrup (codine), fruit flavored soda, and a jolly rancher. Although Im sure this fake stuff is popular too.I used to drink those in the 80s(sans the jolly rancher) and with vodka. I used to call them Cuba Blah-bres. Little did I know as me and my Kajagoogoo hair went slopping off into a stupor I was making some psychic connection...

Nick Beggs Extended Mix) Samples Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" Granite & Sugarman Vs Santa Esmeralda - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (D300 Mix) Nothing special here, but it uses a great classic.
