Episode 76: Catch You on the Dark Side
Hey! Remember the 80's?
09/01/20 • 34 min
Episode 76: It's time for one of Joe's favorite segments: Coming Around Again! Spoiler alert: Eddie and the Cruisers was not a real band!! "On the Dark Side" was a huge hit in the 80's, but not the first time it was released! You can thank HBO and VHS for the resurgence. And you'll never guess who was behind the success of "No One is to Blame" (but okay you may have known that the tireless Phil Collins had something to do with it). // Just a Bit Outside: Two LEGENDS had some early-80s flops on the chart, so it's time to give these tunes their due! A flame-haired powerhouse and a suave James Bond-type found themselves on the bottom half of the Hot 100, but don't worry, Grammy Awards and Pepsi ads await!!
Episode 63: Everyday is like the Loch Ness Monster
Hey! Remember the 80's?
05/26/20 • 34 min
Hope everyone made the most of their Memorial Day Weekend; now it is time to get back to "reality".
In Episode 63, Kari and Joe re-visit Kari's hometown independent record store in "Songs from the Electric Fetus" to check out some "alternative" hits of the 80's. First, it is the battle of the umlauts: Hüsker Dü and pre-swan dress Björk. Then, Kari discusses being an angsty youth and connecting with Morrissey while Joe talks about Kate Bush, loyalty, and the Russians.
Since air travel is almost non-existent right now, Kari and Joe virtually visit the UK to see what was on the Top of the Pops this week in 1988. Will the singles from the double A-side make it "home" to the U.S. in their carry-ons or will they left behind because they are they all "wet (wet, wet)"?
In Songs that Time Forgot, Kari talks about a Night Ranger song from 1985. Check out to see if it is as good as Sister Christian and find out who was an unlikely fan. Joe talks about an underrated Police song which conjured up the Loch Ness Monster.
As always, be kind, be safe, and thanks for listening!
