THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Lou Reed

'Street Hassle'

A song about going to a party and your girlfriend snuffs it after overdosing on smack. A perfect Sunday morning listen.

Isn't that every Lou Reed song ever?

Sounds of the 80s on the BBC Sounds app

With Gary Davies on holiday Simon Le Bon takes the controls this week for a heavily Duran Duran influenced show. Hugely enjoyable for any Durannies or early 80s synth pop fans out there, also well worth checking last week's episode where Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet curates a similar Spandau heavy offering

Marvellous stuff - took me right back!

New Order

'Your Silent Face'
