Music Charts #14…
September 23rd, 1984
Again, not a lot to say about this singles chart—a few great tracks, a lot of good tracks, and a few duds. Par for the course.

Jumping ahead a couple of months and still not a lot that captures my fancy. About the only interesting thing is the inclusion of Big Log by Robert Plant, his first post-Led Zeppelin single. A few good tracks but nothing mind blowing…at least Renee and Renato are finato! (yes, that is a real word!)

Well, so far we’ve just been seeing what was happening in South Australia in the 80s, so now it’s time for a glimpse into the national charts.
Not surprisingly, a real eclectic bunch of tunes. A few crap ones (IMO, natch) but also some fucking killer tracks. The UK is well represented with Blue Monday by New Order, Speak Like A Child by The Style Council, Come Dancing by The Kinks, Fascination by The Human League, a couple of Eurythmics’ songs, and a host of others. Aussies get a good look in with Pressure Sway by Machinations, Show Me Some Discipline by The Sunnyboys, and tracks by Sharon O’Neil, Tim Finn, Real Life, and INXS amongst others. Pleasantly surprised that the US is the less represented for a change.

Not going to say much here because…well, frankly, there’s not a real lot I find interesting. Not back then, and not now.

Lossless Audio Checking
Lossless Audio Checker is a free program that can allegedly tell if a FLAC or WAV file is truly lossless or whether it’s transcoded or otherwise adulterated. Yeah Nah. It don’t work, I’m sorry to say. How do I know this? I converted a .MP3 file to a .FLAC file, and L.A.C. told me it was “clean”. Wut??
At least Spek can see the difference.
