It’s 1986 and Deep Cuts explores the chasm between the billboard charts and the underground. While pop groups like Mr. Mister dominate radio play, an amazing alternative is percolating. Bands like REM, The Chameleons and The The are releasing seminal albums, and alternative music videos are debuting on MTV’s 120 Minutes. Tune in and find out which host was mistaken for a “German exchange student” (months after starting at a new high school), and who was “so alternative” that he never owned Peter Gabriel’s So.
