  "Boop boop, beep beep, ding ding, Depeche Mode." "Just Can't Get Enough" was Depeche Mode's hit from 1981. This is a quirky early New Wave song. The robot drums go well with the robot keyboard. The melody is simple, which makes it great for way too many commercials that have used it. Lyrically, they apparently … Continue reading “Just can’t get enough” Depeche Mode Review
  Hauntingly bizarre. New Order's 1986 song "Bizarre Love Triangle" is one of those songs that just works. Musically, "Bizarre Love Triangle" is a strange combination of constant dance beat with an ethereal chorus. This song is a little bit of everything, yet it blends so well that there's no stark clashes. The song hops from … Continue reading “Bizarre Love Triangle” New Order Review
  I wear my sunglasses at night because I have sensitive eyes. 1984's "Sunglasses at Night" is the only thing anybody cares about from Corey Hart. This song has some really good guitar. It's a medium paced song that works. The real kicker in the music is the panning keyboard (which turns from epic to annoying … Continue reading “Sunglasses at Night” Corey Hart Review
  "Science!" Thomas Dolby's 1982 hit "She Blinded Me With Science" is another one of those quirky 80s songs that walks the fine line between being a serious piece and being a joke. Nobody knows anything about this song outside of the old man screaming "She blinded me, with SCIENCE!" Why even dig deeper into the … Continue reading “She Blinded Me With Science” Thomas Dolby Review
  The only Journey song I like. "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)", the 1983 song by Journey, is the only song by the band I like. *record scratch* That's right: I hate "Don't Stop Believing." Hate it with a passion. It's a dumb, overused song that has ended every middle school dance ever. Of course, "Separate Ways" is … Continue reading “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” Journey Review
  This is the 80s: you can't convince me otherwise. This weeks review is of Duran Duran's 1982 smash "Hungry Like the Wolf." If you're not familiar with this song, you might live under a rock. "Hungry Like the Wolf" is a hoppy, synthy song. The song is allegedly inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, although it bears … Continue reading “Hungry Like the Wolf” Duran Duran Review
  Here’s a sneaky peek at the route that the peloton will take before crossing the finish line at Fox Valley in Stocksbridge at around 5.30pm.
  Cyclists will make their way from Bradford into Sheffield, and around Bolsterstone and Midhopestones, before arriving in Stocksbridge between 4pm and 4.30pm.
  To ensure the safety of cyclists and spectators alike, there will be some traffic controls that Sheffield City Council needs to implement. These are:
  • Further “hard” closures will be along the race route (nicknamed the Stocksbridge Loop) from 4.30pm to 5.30pm, meaning no access at all will be possible. This will affect Carr Road, Cockshot Lane, Folderings Lane, Heads Lane, Yewtrees Lane, Allas Lane, Moor Lane, Mortimer Road, Cranberry Road, Salter Hill Lane and Underbank Lane. People living within the area bounded by these roads will not be able to cross over the race route during this time.
  We really hope Sheffielders come out and enjoy what will be a fantastic occasion for the Stocksbridge area, as the city are beamed across the world on live TV.
  For further information, or if you have any questions, please call the city council on 0114 2734567 and choose option two.
