I got into Italo-disco because it's an ancestor of spacesynth, a genre of usually space-themed music that all sounds the same but in a good way. Italo-disco itself sounds a bit more diverse. I think all these tracks are Italo-disco, but I don't know much about music genres, I just know what I like, so sue me if I'm a little off. Charlie - Spacer WomanA classic in the venerable "love from outer space" theme. Crazy Gang - Every SundayThis song is either about being abused by clergy or just being bored at church, I'm not sure which. Maybe it's deliberately open to interpretation. Damian - The Time WarpAn even more upbeat cover of the song from Rocky Horror Picture Show. Italian Boys - Forever LoversI have nothing to say about this one but it's catchy. Kano - Another LifeI have nothing to say about this one but it's catchy. Kano - Cosmic VoyagerI like any piece of media with a reference to outer space in the title. Koto - Dragon's LegendBased on the infamously challenging Don Bluth-animated 1983 video game Dragon's Lair. Koto - Star WarsThe most danceable version of this theme I've ever heard. The entire album "Koto Plays Sci-Fi Themes" is great but I had to exercise some restraint. Ottawan - Haut les Mains (Donne-moi ton couer)An English version also exists, but obviously Italo-disco should be in French. RADAR - China DarlingI suppose the title alone is politically incorrect by today's standards, but there's nothing racist in the song. Radiorama - AliensThe lyrics are in such broken English that I'm not sure what's going on, but I think the aliens in this case are supposed to be scary. Radiorama - VampiresAgain, the English is broken, but it's more clear this time that the vampires are supposed to be scary, especially because they're vampires. Robert Barre - Neanderthal ManIf Neanderthals were alive today, they would listen to this kind of music and be overqualified to run for political office. Wish Key - Orient ExpressLast but by no means least, this one has really grown on me. I especially love how the male and female vocals blend.

"Guys. Chris's blog is the stuff of legends. If you’re ever looking for a good read, check this out!"
- Amelia Whitlock "I don't know how well you know Christopher Randall Nicholson, but... he's trolling. You should read his blog. It's delightful." - David Young 
About the AuthorC. Randall Nicholson is a white cisgender Christian male, so you can hate him without guilt, but he's also autistic and asexual, so you can't, unless you're an anti-vaxxer, in which case the feeling is mutual. This blog is where he periodically rants about life, the universe, and/or everything. Archives
