Hello? Is Anybody Home?

Welcome to Episode 5 and thanks for being part of our ever growing nuclear family.There’s not a male vocalist in sight, as we discuss 5 entirely different but outstanding female vocalists of the age.  We start with Blondie’s Atomic – paying tribute to the fabulous drummer, Clem Burke; then Hazel O’Connor’s anthemic Eighth Day from the soundtrack to “Breaking Glass”.  We then move on to Anne Clark’s bleak but gripping “Poem for a Nuclear Romance”, and then a complete change of mood as we do the Neutron Dance along with the Pointer Sisters. To end with, we discuss one of the most remarkable songs of the 80s – O Superman (For Massenet) by Laurie Anderson. Sorry but we sing a tiny bit of opera…  Our playlist of all songs discussed is updated with each podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0vLjQBbJEhiDaFNOTz9snD?si=55356228bc354821https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/bang-101-songs-about-nuclear-war-from-the-1980s/pl.u-6mo4j9KFByBgKXlKeep in touch – we love your feedback and your song suggestionsInstagram -  bangnuclearpodcastBlue Sky - @bangpodcast.bsky.socialReddit – r/bangnuclearpodcastEmail – [email protected] and closing music – (Waiting for the) Heatwave – Fay Ray.
