Nice playlist. I am such a huge XTC fan. Used to have all of their albums.

Quite the diverse list. I was only familiar with a couple of the songs.

Thanks for the on-air shout. Will you be on at the same time each week?

Kate Bush - I bought one of her albums back in the big hair days. Her music and vocals are interesting. I think "This Woman's Work" is my fav from her, always love music that sounds like an emotion.

Big hair days had some of my fav music...

What current bands do you enjoy these days Allan?

Allan said...

Whim- I still do!

jp- I was thinking the same thing over on hereistheeighties.com !

Big Hair is weekly, rotating hosts- my reg show is Sun. 7am...early...

thanks fer tunin' in, made my day!

Sus- there are a couple local bands I like, but I really don't keep up anymore- I like bands that send press kits that don't suck. (hint)

I took down the rant about bands needing a decent EPK (Electronic Press Kit) so that last (hint) now makes no sense.
