Summary
This week, we’re going full VHS cult chaos with a tribute to the 1988 film Tapeheads —a weird, wonderful satire about two misfit video-makers on a mission to resurrect their favorite forgotten soul duo, the Swanky Modes. If you’ve ever fallen in love with a band no one else seems to remember, this movie (and this episode) is for you. Also featuring music from Bacci Pouch , Tamar Berk , Geoff Palmer , Yee Loi , our featured artist, Stiv Bators , and more—and of course, no episode would be complete without a song by my favorite band, 20/20 . 🔗 Links: Bomp Records Big Stir Records Today's Tracks: bacci pouch - Running Around 20/20 - When The Sun Goes Down Yee Loi - Poor Girl Geoff Palmer - BYE BYE BABY Sloan - Live Forever Hard-Ons - What Would Stiv Bators Do Dead Boys - Flame Thrower Love Stiv Bators - It's Cold Outside Lords of the New Church - Livin' On Livin' Stiv Bators - Not That Way Anymore Barracudas - Middle Class Blues Nearly Skulls - Only In America The Possibilities - You Don't Mean It Marshall Crenshaw - Television Light Splitsville - A Glorious Lie The dB's - Amplifier (2024 Remaster) Cosmo Topper - For...
