music the same way again most of the bigger bands were filming low budget in concert music videos already but very quickly the visuals would become more and more important and bands who thought it was a pain in the ass to make a video wouldn t last what did mtv want from musicians something way out there like the buggles video for video killed the radio star the british were way ahead on promoting music with video and mtv s popularity would lead to a new wave british invasion in the early 80 s the plan was to do for television what fm did for radio in fact the vj s spent the first day hyping the fact that their broadcasts were in stereo not sure how many people really cared about the sound though these were billboard s top 10 hits the day mtv made its debut on august 1 1981 8 american acts some country and 2 australians in august of 1982 the human league has just lost the 1 position a hit that was in heavy rotation at mtv in august of 1983 mtv is peaking there are four acts from

debbie harry and chris stein team up with chic s nile rodgers and bernie edwards on koo koo despite the musical talent the songs here are overshadowed by the album cover photographed by brian aris and then painted over by h r giger of alien fame to create an image both memorable and so severe posters were banned from the london underground stations backfired is the best tune here but harry is not a soul singer or rapper and her delivery only works as a counterpoint to the funky chic sound siouxsie and the banshees arabian knights siouxsie and the banshees release the uk 32hit arabian knights

beat on irs records it would take nine months and mtv but the album topped the us charts for six weeks beginning in march of 1982 we got the beat a 2 hit introduced american audiences to the five musicians who came across as best friends this town is the mission statement we all know the chosen toys of catty girls and pretty boys as rob sheffield writes in the spin alternative guide in go go s songs the pretty boys just kept their mouths shut and preened while the catty girls took center stage to make up that face jump in the race and get dressed up to get messed up whether flashing their underwear in public fountains or prowling by night the go go s eventually developed a knack for songs about men turn to you yes or no but their grand theme was always femme bonding we rules the streets tonight this town is our town our lips are sealed the best go go s songs begin with tomboy gina schock laying down the beat while american critics swooned the english were less taken with the album robert eggar from the nme summed up the album writing that the go go s play sixties pop for the eighties with a seventies philosophy this record is three years of struggling with instruments of sleeping on floors in strange cities of flirting too close with an easy terminal escape from reality it sounds like a joyous bubbling celebration by five cute girls with no thoughts inside their darling little heads save for tonight s beach party but there s also some disillusionment with the seedy side of hollywood night life summed up on tonite lust to love and this town which includes lyrics that provide a counterpoint to that joyous mtv video we re all dreamers we re all whores discarded stars like worn out cars beauty and the beat finished 10 in the village voice pazz and jop

more like hard rock than punk rock to these ears music journalist chuck eddy described the song as a sort of black sabbath punk rock the song failed to chart other great songs complaining about the airwaves american beat 84 by the fleshtones and i must not think bad thoughts by x squeeze tempted on july 10 1981 squeeze released tempted as the second single from east side story it s strange that

album the us 3 hit instead showed up on stevie nicks s debut album bella donna heartbreaker mike campbell explained how that happened to songfacts stop draggin my heart around was a song that i had written the music and tom had written the words the heartbreakers had recorded a version of it with jimmy iovine and jimmy being the entrepreneur that he was he was working with stevie and i guess he asked tom if she could try it and it just developed from there we cut the track as a heartbreakers record and when she decided to do it we used that track and she came in and sang over it it became a
