What Would Stiv Bators Do? Tales from the Swanky Modesverse

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 RecordsBig Stir RecordsToday's Tracks:bacci pouch- Running Around20/20- When The Sun Goes DownYee Loi- Poor GirlGeoff Palmer- BYE BYE BABYSloan- Live ForeverHard-Ons- What Would Stiv Bators DoDead Boys- Flame Thrower LoveStiv Bators- It's Cold OutsideLords of the New Church- Livin' On Livin'Stiv Bators- Not That Way AnymoreBarracudas- Middle Class BluesNearly Skulls- Only In AmericaThe Possibilities- You Don't Mean ItMarshall Crenshaw- Television LightSplitsville- A Glorious LieThe dB's- Amplifier (2024 Remaster)Cosmo Topper- For...
