Strawberry Switchblade fansite<p>Strawberry Switchblade reviewed the new singles for Smash Hits 40 years ago this week, 28 March 1985. Opinionated, playful, leftfield and really not caring what anyone might think of them, it's classic Strawberry Switchblade.</p><p>Cocteau Twins and Eddy Grant meet with their approval, Foreigner and Killing Joke really don't.</p><p><a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/smashhits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smashhits</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/fgth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fgth</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/artofnoise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>artofnoise</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/killingjoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>killingjoke</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/80smusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>80smusic</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/strawberryswitchblade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strawberryswitchblade</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/pogues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pogues</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/eddygrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eddygrant</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/deadoralive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deadoralive</span></a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/musicpress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>musicpress</span></a></p>

Fucina Fibonacci<p>40 anni fa usciva il primo LP dei <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/FGTH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FGTH</span></a> intitolato Welcome to the Pleasuredome, un disco doppio tanto pretenzioso quanto plasticoso. Ma conteneva una canzone, diventata un classico natalizio per il video, che ci parlava di qualcosa che il consumismo ha razionalmente cancellato dalla storia della Natività: l'esclusione. E questa versione estesa ne esplicita (nell'intro) ancor meglio il significato.
