ABC is an English pop band formed in Sheffield in 1980. Their classic line-up consisted of lead singer Martin Fry, guitarist and keyboardist Mark White, saxophonist Stephen Singleton and drummer David Palmer. The Lexicon of Love is the debut studio album by the band. It was released in June 1982. Though Martin Fry has declined to label it a concept album, the album features repeated themes in which the singer experiences heartache as he tries and fails to have a meaningful relationship. A long-form music video/film, Mantrap, featuring songs from the album was released in 1983. The Lexicon of Love features four UK top 20 singles; "Poison Arrow", "The Look of Love", "All of My Heart" and "Tears Are Not Enough" that I recently added to my #strictlyviny sets You can listen to the whole album on Youtube Music Artist: ABC Album: The Lexicon of Love Follow on Instagram @backfromthecrate . . . #backfromthecrate #beirutcrates #abc #thelexiconoflove #vinylrecords #dustyfingers #cratedigger #lebanon (at Beirut, Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZrX3-lsY6I/?utm_medium=tumblr

The first time I saw @kidfourteen was at @wickerparkfestival in 2016. I was one of the festival photographers at the time, but Fourteen's electrifying stage presence quickly turned me into an audience member and an avid fan soon after. I got to have the same experience again in 2018 on where Fourteen performed on the same stage, accompanied by Karim Shams Eddine @noisepope who composed with Kid Fourteen. Getting to know Khodor since that year has revealed him to be one of the gentlest souls and kindest people who would naturally go on to produce a record like Love, in which he continues to push his sound and its boundaries further.

"Adiss Harmandian (14 January 1945 – 1 September 2019) was a Lebanese-Armenian pop singer. He was born Avedis Harmandian on 14 January 1945 in Beirut, Lebanon to Armenian genocide survivors. His stage name Adiss is a derivative of his given name. His career began in the 1960s, and his first single was the song "Dzaghigner", which quickly gained popularity among Lebanese and diaspora Armenians. Harmandian is considered a pioneer of the estradayin genre of Armenian music. Songs in the genre, such as Harmandian's own "Nouné" or "Karoun Karoun" are primarily sung in Armenian and were influential in the formation of Armenian identity in Lebanon, the Middle East, and throughout the Armenian diaspora. Harmandian has released 29 albums and around 400 songs and has received numerous awards, both abroad and in Armenia. During the Lebanese Civil War, Harmandian emigrated to the United States and resided in Los Angeles, CA. He died on 1 September 2019 at the age of 74 in UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica, after a long 15-year fight with cancer." taken from #Wikipedia Artist: Adiss Harmandyan Album: El Tchem Ka Song: Yes Tche Kidem Follow on Instagram @backfromthecrate. . . . #backfromthecrate #beirutcrates #armenianmusic #estradayin #funk #vinylrecords #dustyfingers #cratedigger #vinylcollectionpost (at Beirut, Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL4b5gBDLRV/?igshid=dog6x8dtmrys
