My niece and blog hero, Rachel Lucas, sent me a link to the online front page of the Daily Mail. Adam Ant is still very much of interest in the U.K., which I already knew, but the article is quite good. Go on… click here to read it. You know you want to.
I’m wrapping up Ant Week without a video from Dirk Wears White Sox. I just can’t find anything worth posting. That was all before videos became the thing and what they do have is just bad. Anyway, what is Adam doing now? He’s been out of the public eye for the most part, except for [...]
We’ve made our way to Adam Ant’s last recorded album and Ant Week is winding down. Wonderful was released in 1995 and it was very much a change for Ant Music. Adam himself said it was the most difficult for him to write because he was trying to create a more mellow sound. This album [...]
As y’all can see, my Ant Week isn’t Monday through Friday. Heh. After the 50s rock and roll sound of Vive Le Rock, Adam evolved yet again to a totally different sound. Marco was still around, but a third guy was added to the songwriting mix. Andre Cymone brought almost a synthetic sound to the [...]
Ok folks, this is a very special entry for Ant Week. We’re up to the point where I entered Ant World. By fall of 1985, I had been listening to Adam Ant’s music for close to a year and I really liked it. But then something very special happened. I saw Adam perform live in [...]
I was afraid that I would bore some people to death with Ant Week (you know who you are), but I’ve actually had a small increase in traffic and some of it is from an Ant Group on Twitter. So, I’d just like to say hello to my fellow Ant Fans! I appreciate you stopping by. [...]
Adam’s next album was “Strip.” The song “Puss ‘N Boots” was the first song on side two. Phil Collins played drums for both “Strip” and “Puss ‘N Boots” and also did a lot of the production work. How’s that for some trivia? More of the makeup came off for this album and the costumes switched [...]
I’m keeping the videos in order, so this next one came out after the Prince Charming album. “Friend or Foe” is the song and the album name. Adam has toned down the makeup a bit by this time. His costumes have moved into a really fun nautical look combined with a bit of cowboy. His [...]
The last video I featured was “Ant Music” which came from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier, a huge hit in the U.K. For this next Adam Ant experience, we’ll go to the next album, which was Prince Charming. You’ll get to see and hear “Stand and Deliver” and he will be dressed like [...]
I have declared that it is Ant Week here at Spoop’s World. It’s actually long over due because I am a diehard, true blue, always and forever Ant Fan. I won’t say that Adam Ant is the best ever. No, there are others who are better and the best. But he is my absolute favorite [...]
