  • "In the end you will submit, it's got to hurt you a little bit." this week Dave brings in LOW-LIFE (1985) by English post-punk group NEW ORDER! Joining us is JACOB DUNCAN!
    Apr 9 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Low-Life is the third studio album by English rock band New Order, released on 13 May 1985 by Factory Records. It is considered to be among the band's strongest work, displaying the moment they completed their transformation from post-punk to dance-rock. The album shows New Order's increased incorporation of synthesisers and samplers, while still preserving the rock elements of their earlier work. The original Factory CD issues of the album were mastered with pre-emphasis.

    The songs on this album formed the basis of the band's live concert video Pumped Full of Drugs, filmed in Tokyo shortly before the album's release. The music video for "The Perfect Kiss" was directed by Jonathan Demme.

  • "Bad, bad, bad boys and dangerous girls." this week Sean's wife brings in an album from HEART! BAD ANIMALS (1987)
    Mar 27 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Bad Animals is the ninth studio album by American rock band Heart, released on May 15, 1987, by Capitol Records.[6] A continuation of the mainstream hard rock style the band adopted for its 1985 self-titled release, it enjoyed similar commercial success, peaking at number two on the US Billboard 200 in August 1987.

    The album features a few cover songs: "Alone" was originally recorded by the duo i-Ten on their 1983 album Taking a Cold Look, while "Wait for an Answer" was originally recorded by Dalbello on her 1984 album Whomanfoursays.

    The album's title refers to the band members themselves: they would call themselves the bad animals due to the way they looked in hotel lobbies, disheveled with sunglasses, exhausted from touring.[9]

  • "Check to see that nobody is escaping to Desolation Row" this week Sean brings in a classic BOB DYLAN album HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED (1965)
    Mar 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Highway 61 Revisited is the sixth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on August 30, 1965, by Columbia Records. Dylan continued the musical approach of his previous album Bringing It All Back Home (1965), using rock musicians as his backing band on every track of the album in a further departure from his primarily acoustic folk sound, except for the closing track, the 11-minute ballad"Desolation Row". Critics have focused on the innovative way Dylan combined driving, blues-based music with the subtlety of poetry to create songs that captured the political and cultural climate of contemporary America. Author Michael Gray argued that, in an important sense, the 1960s "started" with this album.[2]
