We weren't expecting to open another FBI (Forensic Baltimora Institute) investigation so quickly, but scratching the surface of the credits of Corona's early singles led us to more and more questions. Does the lady we see on their album and single covers and in their videos ever actually sing? Find out in this week's episode!
A tip so hot and controversial that we felt the need to found our own pop music forensic investigation bureau? That's right. Find out what the (potential) scandal is with ol' Balty as we italo dance our way through this week's episode.
This week, we're serving up a tall stack of Akron new wave, topped with midwestern working class sensibilities. Grab a booth or a table and hear what makes The Waitresses so fun and relatable.
It's our one-year special! We look back on our favorite funny and touching moments over one year(!) of doing this ridiculous show. Thank you for listening!
You probably only know one Toni Basil song, so we thought we'd fix that for you. Check your shopping list, call your friends in Devo, and put on whatever shoes it's easiest for you to lock in, cause it's time to dance!
Both this week and next, we'll be discussing two women who are unsung heroes of the new wave scene. We begin with Karla DeVito, who toured with Meat Loaf and then dropped two very killer (but very different) albums on two very different labels, while pausing somewhere in the middle to write and record one of Max's all-time favorite songs.
Ever heard something in a song that just makes you stop and think - Uh, wtf? With what we listen to, we certainly have, so here are ten of our favorite WTF moments in music.
A guy who we were pretty sure was British (spoiler: he isn't!) who made a brief splash on US charts in the late 1980s, and a member of the elite club of 'Two-Hit Twofers.'
This week, Max is here for the music and Danielle is here for the celebrity opinions as we discuss short-lived British act Eighth Wonder. We'll explore the ups and downs of their brief career, from Grade-A dancepop to Take-It-Or-Leave-It film noir jazzpop.
