🇬🇧 The Communards "Tomorrow" – 1987
Uplifting, politically charged synth-pop with gospel-tinged vocals and rich production. It channels hope and defiance in equal measure. A standout from their Red album, mixing dancefloor urgency with emotional depth.

The #ParisCommune: A New History
#CarolynJEichner discusses her book #TheParisCommuneABriefHistory
"The Commune stands as a critical and pivotal moment in 19th century history, as the linchpin between revolutionary pasts and futures, and as a crucible allowing glimpses of alternate possibilities."

Fresh from #ImACelebrity, Rev Richard Coles told #TheLastLeg that his brother Andy was a #spycops officer but hasn't told him anything about it & so he's learning about it in the public inquiry. But it sounds like Richard's not telling the full truth 🧵

The Communards, Red, 1987 on London / MCA
The Communards were a duo of Jimmy Somerville (formerly of Bronski Beat) and Richard Coles, a classically trained musician. They put out only two albums: a self-titled debut and this followup.
I’ve actually got both a Canadian pressing (white cover with red letters) and a US pressing (red cover with white letters) of this LP. I don’t normally try to collect all variants of a given record, […]

I learned much from the latest #TrashTheory and their reporting of #BronskiBeat and #Communards. The #SexPistols link to "Smalltown Boy" was surprising as well.
#WorldAidsDay #Communards #ForAFriend In honor of World Aids Day, I dedicate this song to my dear friend and fraternity brother, Kevin Dwyer, who died two years after this song came out, in 1989. I discovered his panel on the Quilt in Washington, D.C., in 1991, and it nearly destroyed me. Luckily I had my ex with me to take me off the Mall. And to ALL of the people I have lost in the last 40+ years. https://youtu.be/GkZYSFeZk7M?si=pXN0S5yC2IWNhOZS
@neonbubble In which case seeing him pre-rev as half of The #Communards will really bring you up short
#Communards For some reason this has been my earworm for the last week or so. Now maybe it can be yours! I’ve loved Jimmy Somerville’s haunting voice for the last 35 years. https://youtu.be/_v41kAb3osI?si=aVvdJJ_O3jfPo_71
* 1986 music reminds me of being at Youth Club. ‘Don’t leave me this way’ by #Communards was the biggest selling single; I knew ALL the lyrics to ‘You can call me Al’ by #PaulSimon; and #PeterGabriel’s ‘Sledgehammer’ video wowed viewers.🎢
