Sigue Sigue Sputnik – Love missile F1-11
Where are we going, when a 90s song (or even a millenial song) is released in February 1986? Are we playing fast forward or rewinding? Fast fast forward! A great marketing operation: english group with a russian-like name, accents to Japanese videogames,

Bangles – Manic Monday
Manic Monday, after all, is a story of every week. Mondays in January and February turn often into definitely sad days. A couple of years ago a study of some english engineers confirmed that this sensation was indeed reality. Just like today… but daylights are getting longer and spring is coming,

Dear dinosaurs, in the latest days we heard about the death of a woman, aged 57, who was unbelievable in her life story, both funny and very tragic.

the magic of Sanremo is that, of course, the winner always finds great success, but very often also the last classified song turns out to be a very beautiful evergreen. It happened in 1984 with Stadio, and it happened again in 1986 with… Stadio. But this song is fantastic, an elegy.
