Tubeway Army – Are Friends Electric?
An evening pause: Music from the late seventies. Reminds me vaguely of a later Laurie Anderson hit.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Is this Gary Numan?
Very cool, never heard of either group.
Joe–
Laurie Anderson, does have some excellent stuff, (late 70’s, early 80’s) it is however, heavily anti-American in content. (for the most part, Reagan was driving these people totally insane at the time.) Not all of her material is uploaded to YouTube as of yet.
This Gary Numan tune, had heavy rotation on US FM-radio.
“Cars”

And “Promo-video’s,” were the exception and not the rule, in a short window before MTV arrived on the scene.
Highly recommend almost any of Brian Eno’s early work as well. (It’s in the ‘techno/ambient-music’ sorta genre.)
Wayne: I still wonder why you don’t send these youtube suggestions to me directly, so I can schedule them as evening pauses and thus give them a wider audience. Posting them in a comment might be faster, but it doesn’t showcase them well.
Wayne, love that tune!
Robert, another song from the era sent!
