The Soviet Union Creates a List of 38 Dangerous Rock Bands: Kiss, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Village People & More (1985) Image by Mario Casciano via Wikimedia Commons Music is dangerous and powerful, and can be, without intending to, a political weapon.

40 years ago, the Soviet Union creates a list of 38 dangerous bands. #SexPistols #B52s #Madness #TheClash #Stranglers #Yazoo #Blondie are #banned for "#punk, violence", what is partly understandable 😉. #VillagePeople for violence 😆

The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping (Music Video) YouTube video by scamparoo

I think I missed posting for the last day of #NewWaveNovember so making up for it with a classic that is also very appropriate for December.

The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping (1981)

I love that the genre has its own quirky Christmas staple. And it saves this great band from one-hit-wonder status

I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in

I was 12. This record, and the accompanying wrap-around newspaper sleeve, had a massive impact on me.

I was too young for punk but I was the right age for New Wave!
