Sorry phoenix123, but I do not think I will participate for a while. I am totally not acquainted with that time and I have to dig deep. I am also currently working on the ultimate artist countdown (which is also time-consuming) and popjustice pop quiz. And I also have a Texas rate coming up which I am preparing. I will be sneaking in definitely!
Woo, the pretty graphics are back!
Tempted to go for a top 100 soon….

Me too!
Me free!
Uh-oh, maybe it's time to retire Gang Of Four's "Damaged Goods" / "I Found That Essence Rare" 7", as I just discovered its release details are rather sketchy after all. I had counted on Wikipedia, which has it as their second '79 single from the September LP -- but now it seems no regular discographies list it at all, and the only other mentions of such a single are from the Billboard US dance charts from the summer of 1980... I guess this means we are obligated to re-do all the charts so far? Sorry! I acted in good faith!
Elsewhere in the news, the band that saved punk by turning it into Hardcore - Discharge - storms the top ten with their debut EP "Realities of War". Peel has been playing it since March 26, so it should be a safe bet it's released by now. (But can you imagine what could happen in June, when their second EP "Fight Back" is unleashed - and it's even better...)
The other new release is discovered once again via Phoenix' French links: Jacno's debut single has been out since late '79 but only now shows up in the French radio charts.
