Ah, English groups of the '80s.

A 2001 documentary showed ex-Thompson Twins knocking themselves and being down on their hits. Which is a shame. They only made one of the one of the three greatest albums of the '80s techno-pop era (ABC & Human League made the other two).

But I'm not going to post videos from that great album (Into The Gap) because you already know and like them (or don't) anyway. I wanna go for a couple more underrated singles.

This is "Watching." A very weird song.



I've always loved it, but I haven't the foggiest idea what it means.

This is the 12" remix of "Sugar Daddy," arguably their last song that really worked as a song (at least that got any airplay). I see it as being about artificial “macho swagger” stupidity...
