Listen Without Prejudice by George Michael was released 35 years ago on September 3, 1990. For me, this is George’s finest moment. #georgemichael #listenwithoutprejudice

Twisted Tenderness by Electronic, first released in April 1999. Finally reissued on vinyl. I had my doubts it would ever happen ❤️. #electronic #bernardsumner #johnnymarr

Electronic Sound Issue 126 w/free Glad 7” single by Saint Etienne. The first single from their upcoming (and final) album International, the feature and interview with the band is bittersweet to say the least. Glad itself is a return to dance sounds and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. #saintetienne

Last night with my good friend Arnold to see OMD for our third time. They were incredible as always, a truly terrific live band. Walt Disco, who opened, we so good. I had never heard of them and I look forward to hearing more from them. #omd #rivierachicago #waltdisco
