Radio Musicola - Nik Kershaw

[@Nogferatu]

Sublime........ I remember feeling saddened by the phrophetic, lyrical content of this track upon it's initial release. In retrospect, Nik nailed it and recognised the inevitability of the music industry. A landscape where perversely, the "Cowell's" of this world got bigger than their acts. This track is a sonic masterpiece. Thank you, Nik.

Well said!

[@ElipsusFox]

I couldn't agree more.

This song is certainly not musicola. It’s an under appreciated slice of genius.

Fantastic bass line on this track. I don't think I ever saw this video in the 80s. To quote Nik, "More's the pity"...

Level 42,s MARK KING on bass.

@@richardmurphy4520 This is a synth bass line, Mark King played bass on the track "Easy" of the album "The Riddle".

@@stefanorighes8676 Aye you're right ," Easy we come, easy we go, little we learn little we know, so close to me so close to you, easy we come easy we go." ( well something like that.). Another great track from old Nik.

"More fodder for the new "Lost Generation,"" great lyric. Still has a great groove after all these years.Thanks Mr. K, for posting these HQ versions of some of your excellent catalog.

Lyrics: Black vinyl man with black plasticised imagination More fodder for the new lost generation I got a question to send you to the nearest closet "Why can't you let us do it like Joni does it?" There you go again, giving it your very best Trying so hard to make it sound like all the rest And as your factory sanctifies your wooden soul You gave us TV dinners, now it's TV rock 'n' roll We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola I got political inclinations to announce But no way, if it doesn't scan with your accounts I got some spiritual ideology for you I know it's gotta correspond with the corporation view We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola You can find it in the streets You can find it in the elevators You can find it where the ladies wash their hands It emanates from little boxes on the wall And it'll soon be coming in disposable tin cans My soul shows art to me, but dollars says my radio Wall Street liquid lunches showing us the way to go Why tolerate this numismatical polity? There isn't any other way There isn't any other way, more is the pity We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musicola We're growing up We're growing up To Radio Musico-ola

"Trying so hard to make it sound like all the rest" This song is more relevant than ever before

Among other things, this was part of my introduction to Joni Mitchell.

[@annagore6225]

Damn, he was fine!😍 Sad to see Father Time has roughed him up a mite!😢 I know he can still rock, though!🎸🎵

[@remixrae9621]

He was absolutely my first crush... and I think he's still rather fine 🤗
