Offbeat Tracks

If you've ever listened to an R&B song from the early or mid 1980s, chances are very good that you've heard some of Kashif's work. Although not a household name to mainstream audiences, his work was instrumental in shaping where R&B music would go for the entire decade. This is our tribute episode to a guy we think more people should know about.

Regina wrapped her hair up in tubes, put on some parachute pants, dropped one pop album on us in 1986, and then disappeared forever. Hear all about her new wave roots, her unreleased second album, and her most recent sighting as we step through her very brief but very fashionable career.

Have you ever needed something to listen to while studying, something to listen to in the bath, and something to listen to while having deviant encounters in '90s underground clubs, but only had enough money for one CD? Today's your lucky day!

After seeing her in concert, we knew we had to do a Taylor Dayne episode. Did you know about her two singles released under a different name, or her connection with Russian nightclubs? Listen and learn!

For a guy who's had this many hits, you'd think more people would remember that they remember him! As we sail through Richard's first four albums, we try to figure out why his singles stay lodged in the corner closets of our brains that never get cleaned out.

For our first Superlatives Episode, we decided if we could correctly identify a song we love that the other one hates. This, of course, trails off into a discussion about the songs we actually hate and why we hate them.

A family that chose music over lawn care! Hear the story of how they made it from the Hawaiian Inn to playing to a completely empty football stadium. Oh, and they were arguably one of the biggest teen acts of the late '80s too!

We strip down one of Danielle's favorite albums of all time, looking past the pageantry to try to figure out why this thing tanked.

We revisit the short-lived ultra-fame of this German duo and try as best we can to do their story justice and keep it about the great music.

An oddball, one-album duo from Miami, started by a radio DJ and almost stopped by George Clinton. What a story!
