My 80sography: Daniel Pearl (Cinematographer) (pt 1, 1980-83) (The Police, Michael Jackson, U2, Genesis, Billy Idol, Leatherface)
80sography - 80s music interviews
07/03/24 • 121 min
And we are back (after a brief hiatus, apologies...) for season 8 and an interview from 2023 I finally get around to releasing (apologies to Mr DP)
As you will find out in these three parts, Daniel Pearl has had a quite phenomenal
career as a DP/cinematographer - working on Texas Chainsaw Massacre at the age of 23 would be enough for immortality. Add that to filming some of the most iconic music videos of the 80s and beyond and working with just about every icon of the last 40 years you can name.
McCartney, Dylan, Springsteen, Rolling Stones, U2, The Police, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Whitney Houston, George Michael, Prince, Elton John, Duran Duran, Tina Turner, Minnie Mouse, etc, etc.
I am usually glad I stop at the end of the 1989 but never more than in the case of the illustrious and exhaustive/ing career of Mr Pearl.
Anyway, part 1 be here...loads to enjoy;
PRE-80s
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
1980-82
Supertramp - It’s Raining Again
(plus an interesting perspective on who directed Poltergeist)
1983
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (audio commentary)
The Police - Every Breath You Take (audio commentary)
The Police - Wrapped Around Your Finger (audio commentary)
Lionel Richie - All Night Long
U2 - With or Without You (1987)
Genesis - That’s All

Billy idol - Dancing With Myself

Billy Currie's 80:10 (part 1) (Fade To Grey, B Sides, Vienna, The Voice, George Martin)
80sography - 80s music interviews
08/14/24 • 84 min
Part 1 of the 80:10 for Ultravox keyboard player, Billy Currie, with lots of fabulous music discussed in lovely bite-sized pieces.
Part one covers 1-5;
1. FADE TO GREY (1980/81)
After a pre-amble, setting up where Billy was come 1980, we start with the first of Billy’s seminal hits of the 80s, Fade to Grey by Visage.
This is a 5 minute excerpt of Billy’s chat about F2G. The full version can be found on the Anatomy of a Song episode on said track.
2. B SIDES (1980-87)
An interesting detour as we discuss the many Ultravox b sides of the 80s. Billy discusses his favourites.
3. VIENNA (1980/81)
Another iconic hit of officially “the best number 2 of the 80s”, and another excerpt from an Anatomy of a Song episode.
4. THE VOICE (1981)
Original concept of interview was to discuss ten tracks, this changed during the course of the chat. This is why The Voice is discussed rather than the brilliant LP, Rage in Eden.
Originally we discussed the music video as an audio commentary but edited down due to large pauses and just included as part of the chat.
5. GEORGE MARTIN (1982)
Moving away from Conny Plank, the boys decide to try an up-and-coming producer called George Martin. Billy discusses how they worked together and the influence George had on them.
He later did the orchestration for All In One Day but that is not discussed at this point. [It’s farking great tho]
