📀 22 July 1982 — #DexysMidnightRunners release Too-Rye-Ay, featuring the global smash #ComeOnEileen.

A one-hit wonder in the U.S., maybe — but not in the UK. #Geno hit #1 before Eileen ever danced in denim.

FORKSTER Alt. Music Asylum @altmusicasylum.bsky.social · Jul 21

🗓 1979 // ON THIS DAY

TUBEWAY ARMY’s ‘Replicas’ hits No.1 in the UK-
and post-punk’s first synth-led anthem is born.

Gary Numan’s voice = machine dread + ghost soul.
💡 ‘Are “Friends” Electric?’ rewired everything.

Don't be afraid to stand in the shadow of love
The hour is late and you know that time waits for no-one
See the glow of the soul in her face
Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love
… the shadow of love
