I just have to say that the new Best Coast LP is what I feel like I've been waiting years to hear: positive, optimistic, self-deprecating but funny, and there's an energy to it that makes 41 minutes seem incredibly brief. Bethany's grown as a vocalist, and each song is its own entity but as an LP, it flows perfectly. That is going to be such a great show, and with Mannequin Pussy opening, it shouldn't be missed. That's one band that definitely deserves some love.

Alphaville- Forever Young
I didn’t listen to any hardcore or punk in my youth….I guess I listened to synth pop…This was one of my favorites
I think it still holds up

Yes it does. So does "A Secret Wish" by Propaganda.

Does that one contain cheesy synth and drum machine sounds?

Nope
After this came out in 79 he didn’t do anything til 84 which is when the cheesy synth thing began..
The record company refused to release the 84 album in the US …Hallelujah was on it
The CEO of Columbia famously told Cohen when Leonard went to see him to beg he release album in US: We know you’re great Leonard, but is it any good?
Fun fact: Raffi is part of Cohen’s band on Recent Songs

I know a good song is a good song no matter what, but I have a tough time getting past those sonic choices. So glad I got to hear him perform those songs live on that last hurrah. That band was phenomenal and perfect in every way.
