– Sugarcubes – John Peel BBC Session – Dec. 9, 1987 – BBC Radio 1 –
Together for a comparatively short period of time, The Sugarcubes managed to, not only put Iceland on the map as a potential hotbed of musical activity, but also turned everyone on to Bjork, the visually ethereal and sonically hypnotic lead singer who went on to greater heights as a solo artist.
So tonight it’s a session the band recorded for John Peel at the BBC, just as they were getting international notice and a huge following in 1987.
Here’s what you’re in for:
Sugarcubes – John Peel BBC Session of December 9, 1987
1. Motorcrash
2. Cold Sweat
3. Delicious Demon
4. Deus
5. Mama
Further evidence the 80’s were all over the map, musically. And The Sugarcubes fit in quite nicely.
Past Daily is trudging along and we’re always looking for your help. We don’t run ads so we need contributors to keep us up and running. Costs even more now than it did this time last year. But we’re still offering you the best of what’s in the archive – yes, this is all from our Collection (except the sessions and concerts – gotta give credit where credit is due – BBC 6 Music and Radio X in London and RNE In Madrid are essential sources of finding new music) but everything is the result of yours truly digging into boxes, climbing over shelves, falling into dumpsters. It’s history, it’s important and it’s yours if you want it. All you have to do, if you’re up for it, is subscribe via Patreon (that little box at the bottom of this post) – click on it and you’ll be taken to their site where you can subscribe to Past Daily, let them know how much you want to donate – or check us out for free, test drive our site as it were and decide to become part of the Past Daily experience. Simple, painless and we’ll love you for it. Do it if you can and you’ll be able to download your own copy of all our posts and new ones as they appear. Kind of cool, don’t you think? But you have to become a Patron in order to do it. Think about it – no pressure – honest – really . . no pressure. But there’s this landlord . . . .
