Title: 15 Feb 2017: it's... 1982

Not bad -- a couple FFs but also some well-chosen rarities, particularly a very timely Fun Boy Three tune.

I don't remember hearing this Heart track ("City's Burning") when it was new but it kicks ass!

Speaking of Percy, that Heart tune was pretty darn Zeppish.

Never heard that song about lunatics taking over the asylum. Interesting.

I still enjoy the silliness of "Don't Pay the Ferryman".
Though you'd think paying that smooth-voiced dude would be a reasonable idea, eh?  ;)

I like the Bauhaus-esque "Escalator of Life". Can never remember who this is? I think I'd never heard of him until I heard this tune.

02/15:

On today’s edition of Soundwaves 10@10, we’ll hear from the newly-single solo act that trolled
his former band by re-recording new versions of their old songs and putting them on the B-sides
of singles, the one-hit wonder who also wrote and recorded “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” before
Cyndi Lauper did, and the band who were told by their label that everything was wrong with their
debut record, down t the album cover – so of course, they ended up with the biggest album of the year.
It’s … 1982!

 2. Adam Ant, Desperate But Not Serious
