Czar Wish the Awkward

I rarely post but expect to see my interests- bands I like (namely The Beatles and Tears For Fears), Mob Psycho 100, WWI, retro anything (focus on 1960s-80s), Pokémon, Houston Astros, and maybe my own art and characters. See listography.com/wishuponaczar for all of my interests! I'm also more active on Insta @strawberrysgt!

[solefald]

finally, ive scanned all the clippings i was planning on scanning for months now! i will crop and release them slowly over the next coming weeks ^_^ so be ready!

this was taken from a japanese magazine named 'Player' in October 1983, i have no other information about this, sadly, but i can provide a machine translation of the text in the image under, as well as a bonus scan of another band, Spear of Destiny, featured on the opposite side of the poster!

(hq downloads on my google drive here and here, credit if repost ~ thank you!)

"Hailing from Bath, a city famous for its Georgian architecture and hot springs, Tears for Fears consists of Curt Smith (bass guitar and vocals) and Roland Orzabal (guitar and vocals). The group's name comes from a book written by American Arthur Janof, which deals with the theme of children's nightmares (?).

Both are 21 years old and already have wives and children(??). Other musicians from Bath include Peter Gabriel and there are the Naked Eyes guys. This year, Naked Eyes joins the UK tour halfway through. These two also participated as session members.

The core of Tears for Fears' synthesizer sound is not a Japanese-made Roland (?), but a German-made PPG Wave, which they claim is the best synthesizer in the world: Curt Smith's hairstyle, especially the long, thin braids hanging down the back, was quite fashionable at the time. He says he got hooked on it after his wife did it to him while he was sleeping, and in his American accent (his wife is American), he calls it "braits hair." Incidentally, in the British Bath accent, it's called "platz hair." By the way, their song "Pale Shelter" is one of my top 5 songs of the first half of '83."

of course, would appreciate any better translations from someone whos familiar with the language!! there were some mistakes i had to fix and some things that didnt make sense (them having children during the hurting era???? what???) as well as the spelling for the braided hairstyles. did they mean 'plaited hair'?

Big day for Tearsie-Fearsies because Tumblr let me use JavaScript on my blog and I made TFF fave song sorters- I noticed they didn't exist yet so there u go! Not pretty looking like some other sorters I've seen but they get the job done :) just try not to make a mistake or you'll have to start over!

I've only done the studio albums (excluding bonus tracks/stuff on expanded editions) and Saturnine Martial & Lunatic so far though. Eventually I'll make a fav sorter for their entire *core* discography (so those albums mentioned, b-sides, bonus tracks, and other NOTEWORTHY releases)- in the meantime I'd like suggestions on what's considered "essential" in Tears For Fears' discography so if you have any thoughts on that do let me know!

These sorters might be useful to anyone who's as indecisive as me, and maybe choosing favorites between only two options at a time multiple times would help to determine a sure favorite- maybe even do it multiple times in case you change your mind and average the final results out. Or maybe you already know what your favorite songs are and you just want to have fun playing with the sorters! Do with these what you want, fellow TFF fans!
