NME May 1981 - and it’s all happening for The Teardrop Explodes!

Released on this day in 1980: Kilimanjaro, the debut album by #TeardropExplodes youtu.be/_aZwlQ7tGNU?si…

@JayneMoobs The Royal Court was about half full but still a fantastic live gig Big mystery why fans abandoned the Teardrops and a solo JC I always remember him introducing new song Reynard the Fox and saying something like “You’ll all be into this in 6 months youtu.be/Low8PKvW1co?si…

I’m so obsessed by World Shut Your Mouth at the moment. This track is just sublime, why doesn’t this record get more obsession? open.spotify.com/track/6HSimt7E…

Disappointed watching this 01/10/1981 repeat of Top of the Pops last night This clip of the group minus Agius and Hammer didn’t make the cut An arlarse BBC 4 … Here it is anyway … The Teardrop Explodes Passionate Friend TOTP 01/10/81 youtu.be/9lkkm5Xs1yw?si… via @YouTube

No. 8 Everybody Wants to Shag… The Teardrop Explodes, 1990 Fontana/Phonogram. The first Teardrops' album I bought. The lost third album. Teardrops were down to Cope, Dwyer, and Balfe. Cope details the album’s recording in his essential bio Head-On. #cassettes #cassettetapes

Peak Twitter or X for me tonight ! A brief but enlightening chat with a former keyboard player from The Teardrop Explodes, arising from an @nme1980s thread More significantly he’d be up for a reunion but Ive got to somehow convince main man Julian Cope as it’s his decision

@laurenlaverne @BBC6Music Band names inspired by comics: The Teardrop Explodes came from a Daredevil comic I think. What about Passionate Friend?
