Love Is a Jungle - pete ivers (1985)

As we approach the 42nd anniversary of Peter Ivers’ death I’ve been thinking a lot about where his career would have gone if his life wasn’t cut so short. He was the host of LA’s iconic public access New Wave Theatre and composed In Heaven with Lynch for the Eraserhead soundtrack in addition to his own music. This song is one of my favorites, but all of his silly/sweet music is worth a listen!

Psychedelic Furs, "love my way"

A not-particularly-coded message from the Furs' Richard Butler to the LGBTQ community -- I just love that he was doing this in 1982. Butler is the first artist I ever interviewed (long ago) who helped me to understand that a song meant whatever I thought it meant vs. what HE thought it meant - sure, he had a specific audience and message in mind here but he explicitly gave permission to "follow where my mind goes." I adore this band so much and don't get why they don't get more love here and everywhere. Classic without being "classic rock." ❤️

‘big heart’ music video - the lounge lizards

many striking images. almost gives the impression that they had fun making it, although I read John Lurie’s memoir and i actually don’t think that is true.
