After gorging on turkey & all the trimmings, Alternative 80's is back! No stale leftovers here - lots of tasty tracks from the 80's, with a a sprinkle of Alternative Christmas music to whet your appetite for our Christmas podcast, which is coming up next week in time for the holidays.
We start this week's podcast with a crankin' tune by Tim Scott, who said this on his website: "This was my young and confused record...I wrote the songs over a couple of weeks on a little Casio keyboard...Sire heard it and offered me a deal...no use apologizing for such a thing...my mistake... the good part of it was working with Richard Gottehrer ...really took me under his wing...shame we were working on the wrong kind of music....."
If you listen really close, you can hear the Go-Go's Jane Wiedlin singing background vocals.
Enjoy!
