Was there a theme?
ha!
How could you do such a show and not play The Pyschedelic Furs “Heartbreak Beat”? The extended remix of the song is the greatest extended remix of any song ever, although “Two Hearts Beat as One” by U2 (not quite within the parameters of the theme but not far off) comes close.
Very accusatory statement from someone who did not LISTEN TO THE EPISODE! Had you, you’d know that I quoted “Heartbreak Beat.” I actually had way too many songs for one show so expect a sequel, perhaps in a year.
Don’t get your keester out of joint! I’ll try to listen to the show if time allows, I don’t have much of it these days. My current job has a schedule very much like Scholastic Mags did. Commendations for quoting the song anyway.
I listened. Nice use of the lyrics in your spoken narrative but the song just needs to be included in any set dedicated to this topic.
Although I’ve never heard the song it seems Spooky Tooth’s “You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw” also warrants automatic inclusion. I saw that a lot in record club advertisements.
I thank you for listening!! Hmm I don’t have any Spooky Tooth, though I do have the Only Ones, which the Spooky T drummer eventually joined.
