COUNTDOWN IS BACK THIS JANUARY, 2019 ... ON rage !!!!!
Stay tuned below with regular Countdown full archival information for each Countdown episode rage shall be airing every Saturday throughout January ...
Looks like an excellent retro night from 12.30 on starting with another full Flashez
The artists being interviewed on the Flashez clips don't do much for me but hey it's more Flashez for the collection!
And they may have been played over and over but I'll still enjoy Real Men,Living On The Ceiling etc.
Another night of retro heaven coming up
The only real downers for me have been the Recovery episodes going until 2.15am
,Nick Cave & now the 10.30 slot all starting off retro night with a whimper when a RA or late 70's/80's era videos would be perfect. Leave those shows until 5am!
All the Countdowns,RAs and various Flashez/GTKs,some 80's heaven videos (we will together,life in a northern town,come said the boy) & other bits and pieces have been v.good to brilliant.
Although I would have preferred more non-interview Flashez clips.
I know!
I TOTALLY agree. I love the Countdown's this weekend obviously, BUT there is SO much more they could do.
rage have access to THE most AMAZING footage in the ABC Archives...
Beat Box, The Factory bits of Countdown Revolution should also be included.
They should be showing an array on 80s ABC Music Programs if they don't want to play more than 3 Countdown's!
One of the only RARE video's being played this weekend is Jimmy And The Boys with "Products Of Your Mind" and THAT is only bevause I suggested it!
Real Men, Da Da Da and Don't Go yes, are a ll GREAT tracks and classic BUT were all played 2 weeks ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sexual Healing is BORING!.... I Eat Cannibals has been played once or twice last year and Blancmange's Living On The Ceiling is FABULOUS but not something rage NEED to play!. It was on the last WIld Card Special!
They have access to so many RARE video clips and ABC Programs BUT they just don't know WHAT they are doing at all!
The only reason why rage have been playing good Countdown's is because they are all our suggestions!
It's such a waste of time playing the utter nonsense they do in between, very annoying indeed. BUT what can we do, NOTHING unfortunately!!!
I totally ,agree on pseudo Echo, with the 3 EXACT same video's in the same order. It's like people who are doing work experience are working at rage this January. If they put us in charge of January it would be an array of gem's, let me tell you!
It is interesting, as last year rage played more RARE and INTERESTING Music Video's than they have this whole January! ... GO FIGURE!!!
