And don't forget if you want to order a subscription visit -
Well, the first Lexicon Magazine of year (not the millennium, I'll restrain from saying that since we have 11 more months to go ;-) is shipping out this week.
On the cover is our very first commissioned photo- of Green Garthside from Scritti Politti. Inside read two (2!) different interviews with the man who makes the Blue Nile look like Prince when it comes to releasing albums.
Also inside is a great Tony Hadely article (and huge Discography!) To jog your memory, he's the guy who sang for Spandau Ballet. There is also a chat with Jimmy Somerville and also Alan Wilder of Recoil, not to mention tons of reviews, including brand new Stannard Ridgeway, Chinese Detectives, and Cruxshadows.
In other news Lexicon Records/Ninthwave Media just released its first CD- Gary Flanagan's "Anthems For The Young At Heart." Gary had three songs in MP3.com's New Wave Top 40 this week, all at once! His MP3 page is http://www.mp3.com/garyflanagan . Visit his page, download all his songs and help us fix the MP3 chart!
You can order the album, a limited hand numbered first edition from our order page: https://www.digiweb.com/~guerue/order.html
If you subscribe or renew this month you can pick up Gary's album for only $5.
Now that our web site is up and running (and getting several thousand hits a month!) Ninthwave media is looking for other CDs to feature and sell on our pages. If you are interested please contact us, we can now take credit cards ;-).
And in ego boosting news, listen for me, Dave Richards, on an upcoming "Retro Rewind" show. This two hour show is heard in over 230 markets around the country and features tons of great '80s tunes and usually an interviews/performance from someone from the '80s. Next week features, for example, Richard Marx. Their webpage is www.retrorewind.com
Remember, you can always keep up to date about what's going on in the world of the '80s and such by subscribing to our one list digest: http://www.onelist.com/community/lexicondigest
We still have a few tracks on our May CD sampler left open. If you want to submit a track please contact us. Right now it looks like we have a brand new White Town track, and a brand new Peter Bryne track (he of Naked Eyes fame) plus stuff from Blue Audio, Color Theory and more. I'll tell the digest group as we get new tracks on.
Thanks!
-Dave
