Offbeat Tracks

You may know Jane as a founding member of The Go-Gos, or as a dead singing telegram girl, or as Joan of Arc, but we know and love Jane for her fabulous solo career, which we take a very DIY trek through today.

An album that helped propel us into the '80s, all the while cementing The Purple One's hypersexual image. Step through it track by track with us, and try not to get your feet wet.

A true offbeat icon, Diane Warren has written some of contemporary pop's most well-known and highly-regarded ballads and power ballads. We list off her popular stuff and then dive into some of the tracks you may not have heard or didn't know that she wrote.

Everybody has their set of favorite pop Christmas tunes. We've made our lists, checked each other's twice, and now we're sharing them with you to get you in the spirit of the season this week. I mean, as much as either of us enjoys doing that. Which is not very much.

Big hair, gender bending, Hi NRG synths and drum machines - what's not to love about this titan of '80s dance music?

For our second superlatives episode, we thought it fitting to talk (an admittedly broad definition of) protest songs. Hear what our favs are, and send us yours!

Rush rush to the dancefloor (not the yeyo) and get down with us to one of the greatest soundtracks of all time!

If you listened to pop radio in the '90s, you heard a Sophie B. Hawkins song. She's one of the multitude of artists of that era who slipped through the popularity cracks and is left dancing in the memories of those of us who can't get enough of Clinton-era hippie pop. We revisit Sophie's first two albums and touch on what she's been up to since then, including rewriting one of her hits for a Presidential candidate!

Happy birthday to the pioneering DJ, producer, and remix artist responsible for a multitude of dancefloor smashes! We go through our favorite Jellybean singles and remixes and plead for him to regrow his beautiful hair. Also, Max loses his mind laughing at Danielle's stupid joke about dolphins.

Happy Halloween! Enjoy listening to our suggestions for your spooky party playlist tonight.
