1983

Deep Cuts: Lost & Found goes back to high school in Episode 8.

The year is 1983 - the height of post-punk and new wave - with seminal debut records from The The, Tears for Fears, The Blue Nile and The Chameleons. The chaps reminisce about the beginning of their friendship, the thrill of concerts and buying records in the pre-streaming world (when record sleeves and lyric sheets were like sacred texts). Tune in and hear what concert had a profound impact on one of the hosts, who prefers to ask for forgiveness rather than permission, and which industrial/metal icon cut his teeth with catchy synth pop.

1985

Ride shotgun in the Delorean as Deep Cuts: Lost & Found travels back to 1985 - a real sweet spot for the hosts - and not just because it’s the year “New Coke” was born. It’s also the year of Live Aid, the year Rich moved out of town and the year that featured now-classic albums by The Smiths, New Order, The Cure, Tears for Fears (and many more). Was ’85 the best year of music in the 80s? Tune in and decide.
