Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 52

Hello, music lovers and lovers of life. Time for another midweek cafe and lounge.

While I am researching something for a future midweek cafe and lounge edition (still researching Japanese ambient music), thought I’d go a bit retro. Let’s start out with Tubeway Army.

Most of us probably remember Gary Numan for his single “Cars” (parodied quite nicely on a British comedy The Mighty Boosh sometime last decade). “New Wave” in rock was actually a fairly broad term, actually. There were numerous recording artists who varied from the mildly experimental to the wildly avant-garde who collectively defied easy classification (in other words, a marketer’s nightmare, but a music-lover’s dream), and probably had its beginning sometime around the start of the 1970s, and didn’t really end until well into the 1980s.

For those of you wondering how I and Neon Vincent are circumventing Sucuri to embed videos, here is an example of the embed code we use, so that you can replicate as wanted:

Just remember that each unique 11-digit video code in YouTube needs to be pasted in two separate locations within the embed code in order for your video to show up properly. So easy that I can do it!
