Which songs still hold up today, which songs should be left in the 80's, and which ones are hidden gems? We'll cover the well-known hits from the decade (Ghostbusters, anyone?), and even songs that you haven't heard in 30 years (paging Karla Bonoff). Dust off your Members Only jacket, crack open a Pepsi Free, and join us for segments like "Just a Bit Outside" and "Coming Around Again" and more!

  • Episode 269 - More R&B Superstars!
    Feb 18 2025

    Join Kari and Joe this week for another celebration of Black History Month. First, in tidbits, Kari gives a short report on the Luther Vandross documentary and you may be surprised where he got his start.

    Then, it's a vastly underrated group of ladies led by JoJo McDuffie, an old school artist who started spilling the tea in her songs in the 80s, a legend that Kari and Joe should know more about, and a former Holy Ghost Boy who we pray does not hurt us.

    Tune in for that plus a dramatic monologue by Joe and an homage to MTV's Party to Go!

  • Episode 268 - Celebrating Black History Month
    Feb 11 2025

    Kari and Joe kick off this episode with tidbits about Tina Turner, Record Store Day, more on the SNL music documentary and interesting news about a Prince documentary that was previously announced.

    Then, February is Black History Month and that means more R&B Superstars. We've made it into the Ms! Get ready to hear about a jazz fusion group that contains some familiar members... think positive with a superstar trio... dive into the world of Brazilian telenovelas... and hear from a (very talented) nepo baby.

  • Episode 267 - Solos, Solos and More Solos
    Feb 4 2025

    Join Kari and Joe this week to talk the music of Saturday Night Live in tidbits, along with some very important concert announcements.

    Then they dive back into Dave Kinzer's "The 80s Music Compendium" to cover a couple piano solos, an organ solo, a guitar solo, a harmonica solo and a saxophone solo. Whew.

    Get ready to hear about the Boogie Nights-ish backstory of the band Great White, a heartwarming story involving fortified wine, and possibly the worst cover of the 80s decade??
