Always Something There to Remind Me: Remembering Pete Byrne of Naked Eyes

Before The Buggles made MTV history with "Video Killed the Radio Star," Bruce Woolley helped write the song that would define a generation. We talk with the songwriter and former Camera Club frontman about the unlikely origins of the hit, working with Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, the early days of Thomas Dolby, and his own place in new wave history.

We’re going all the way back to 2006 for a 20th-anniversary replay from the earliest days of Stuck in the ’80s. Sean Daly, Cathy Wos and Spearsy head backstage at the “We Are the ’80s” concert in Clearwater, Florida, featuring interviews with some of the artists on a bill that included Rick Springfield, Loverboy, Eddie Money, and Patti Smyth with Scandal.

Andrew Mann of When in Rome joins Stuck in the ’80s to talk about the enduring life of “The Promise,” the band’s early days, its unexpected boost from Napoleon Dynamite and the new music leading to the forthcoming album Illumination.

Author Shane Robitaille and researcher Livi Stanford join us to talk about Live Aid Runaways, a new novel that sends two teenagers on an unforgettable journey to Philadelphia for Live Aid in the summer of 1985.

We remember the incomparable Dolly Parton with music journalist and author Annie Zaleski, whose new book, Dolly Parton: The Stories Behind the Songs, explores the music and remarkable career of one of our most beloved cultural icons.
