Remember that time we cranked up Van Halen's '1984' and felt like rock legends in our living room? We're bringing that energy to your ears as we reminisce about the defining tunes and flicks from that remarkable year. Even without Lou 'the professor' on board, we're keeping the vibe electric, discussing everything from RCA Records family tales to the King himself, Elvis. You won't want to miss the laughter and the occasional tear as we navigate the music-infused paths of our memories.
Strap in for a podcast episode that's as diverse as a '80s mixtape. We debate the music ban saga of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax" and how T-shirt slogans became the unlikely megaphones of pop culture. Then, it's a sharp turn into the poignancy of Marvin Gaye's legacy and my own brush with the high stakes of the Border Patrol exam. The stories are rich, the lessons unexpected, and who knew that music history could offer insight into law enforcement?
Let's roll up our sleeves and dig into the meaty debates of band lineups, chart-toppers, and those under-the-radar genius musicians who shaped the sound of an era. We laugh, we argue, we pay homage to the greats from George Benson to Squeeze, and tease each other's musical tastes with all the charm of a backstage band squabble. This is more than just a look back at 1984; it's a celebration of the tracks and tales that continue to echo through our lives.

Send us a text Step right up to the time-warping carousel of sound and culture as Mark Smith, Lou Calico, and I whisk you through the neon-lit corridors of 1980. Our 140th episode is a technicolor tapestry of the year's groundbreaking albums, from Genesis to The Durutti Column, with a playful detour through the top 10 fashion faux pas that still have us chuckling. We're tossing the script aside and doubling down on memory lane, playing games and sharing laughs with you, our live audience, in a celebration of the era's pulsating beats and pop-rock anthems. As we wade through the vinyl-rich waters of 1980, we'll reminisce about the unmistakable riffs of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" and debate whether Joe Perry's solo flight did indeed let the music do all the talking. Our banter veers seamlessly from Springsteen's "The River" to the hidden punk influences that shaped music's trajectory, laying bare the raw energy that bridged genres. We're not just about the past though; we'll spar over modern-day cinema, comparing Tarantino's tense frames to Hitchcock's mastery, and even question if Margot Robbie's portrayal of a 'sunshine girl' could be the new benchmark for blonde bombshells. Don't let the hindsight of four decades fade your love for the electric '80s – we're here to rekindle it with tales of 'Dirty Mind' and 'Wild Planet', both albums that still echo in today's airwaves. We'll explore the quirky side alleys of forgotten TV shows, speculate on the best directors left Oscar-less, and even ponder the eternal debate: sweet or salted popcorn?
