Episode 63: Everyday is like the Loch Ness Monster
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!
