  • Summary

  • “Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll.” Welcome back to the 80s. On August 1, 1981 viewers in New Jersey were the first to see the debut of a new music video channel, MTV. In the years that followed, MTV would become a cultural phenomenon, influencing TV, film, advertising and fashion. However, for Episode 28, we thought it would be uber-nostalgic to go back to those days between January 1, 1980 and July 31, 1981 to hear what music was like before MTV changed everything.

    A shout out to those of you who have been with us since the beginning and welcome to our new listeners. As always, thanks to Team Boomtown: Alan (artwork), DJ Phil B (technical advice) and David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.

    Songs chosen by Dr. Dave and Benny Banzai. Track listing coming soon.

    Listen, enjoy, follow, share, and thanks for keeping 80s music alive!

    BB & DD
