Robot Rock du Jour: Starter – Minijupe (1981)
OK. So, pretend for a minute that lead singer Francis Foss DOESN’T look and sound like Dana Carvey taking the piss out of no wave bands.
In that hot minute, you will surely discover how rad this song is because you, after all, love les minijupes (miniskirts) as much as I do. And Korg MS-20s.
SCHEMATIC: Dana Carvey, record label and cover artwork, some band photos…
Snort: Sesame Street – Yip Yip Martian Radio
Snort: Robot Dance Competition (1983)
Metal Mickey calling the shots in this UK dance competition from 1983. Peep those costumes! The red heads get my vote…
end of line…
Snort: Shotgun Start – City Boy (2009)
Hot damn!! Check out Wormser at 0:54 and 1:16!!!
Between the acid synth lines and vocoders, this cut coulda been a contender. Unfortunately, the right hook is just a bit weak. The video, however, is GENIUS!
Found this one on MATRIXSYNTH-C.
Snort: Domestic Stormtroopers
For you design nerds, this classic posting on Core 77 chronicles the cartooned adventures of Lunchbreath and Fueledbycoffee at the International Housewares Show in chi-town. Great for a laugh.
Snort: Phoebe Cates – Paradise (1982)
Despite becoming the center of millions of pubescent fantasies that very same year, Phoebe’s Paradise didn’t quite launch her musical career into orbit. Strip the crappy music, run the vocals through a vocoder, add some beats, change that dress to skin-tight silver lamé and…VOILA!!…instant classic.

Snort: Dwarfed Punk
Snort: Filipponio – All’ Arrembaggio (1984)
Unbridled Italo machismo in its purest form. As undeniably ridiculous as this video may seem to you at first, laughter will turn to awe with repeated viewings. How sweet are the video effects?!!
SCHEMATIC: Dope record scans…
Snort: Rémi Gaillard – The Astronaut Golfer
This frenchman is pretty much off his rocker.
