"Paranomia" - The Art of Noise featuring Max Headroom Paranomia is that state where you can't quite sleep, and get worried about life in general. The backing track is by the Art of Noise, all the electronic bells and whistles they can throw around, some sampled vocals, while Max talks in a stream of consciousness. One of the strongest art singles of the year. Our first Mystery Year was 1986. More in a moment. #TOTP #ArtOfNoise #MaxHeadroom

[fx: tape spools] In our second Mystery Year. "These people are there to serve the public, but they don't." Amateur theologian Margaret Thatcher dismissed every train driver, broadcaster, and passport officer, and asserted they're not human. Two headlines from monday's press. "Pollution curbs would not damage the economy" "The individual family can do little to control greenhouse gas emissions". Absolute scenes at the Old Bailey, where a juror mistakenly tried to swear on his Filofax rather than the more standard Bible. Absolute scenes at the Tour de France start, where defending champion Pedro Delgado missed his start time. The opening time-trial saw the riders set off one-by-one, but Delgado managed to miscalculate his time and arrived almost three minutes late. Nicky Campbell is not arriving three minutes late on #TOTP.
