I Completed 80s MusicShow Notes
Fame! I wanna podcast forever! Or at least until the 80s Music runs out. We finally slip into July 1982 and hit Irene Cara's big moment that sent mums and their kids into a spin buying leotards and legwarmers. Bananarama strike out on their own and AC/DC strike the cannon fuse. Postman pat takes us on a nostalgia delivery, the Tygers of Pan Tang take us on a rendezvous. John McEnroe throws a musical strop and we end with The Damned taking us on a tour of London.

Another shiny shiny episode this week as we continue into early 1983. Ian Astbury discovers a band in his cellar, China Crisis emulate Eno, Haysi Fantayzee dance around the apocalypse, the Alan Parsons Project causes the Mixtaper to have a wobbly bottom lip, Level 42 have Alan Partridge eating the Chinese Way and the Belle Stars leave us with the sign of the times. What an ep! (seriously though, bring your tissues for the Alan Parsons section, it all gets a bit dusty).
