This is the long overdue second episode of 2023, thanks in part to Tyler Sorenson, host of Different Heat, who reminded me this was a project I care about. If you're wishing there were more episodes of Deep Cuts and Superficial Wounds to listen to, go check out Different Head. Track listing…

It's an all-music, no-talk Halloween episode featuring three hours fo weird, spooky-adjacent music. All the tracks come from previous episodes, so if you want any context for any of these tracks, go check out the original episodes: Samantha, Sabrina and Wanda. Track listing: 0:00 Toto Coelo,...

Wanda
Part two of a celebration of 80s music that's either outright spooky or Halloween-adjacent. Listen to previous Halloween episodes, Samantha and Sabrina — and also this episode, which has a solid dark-dancey vibe.

The former U.S.S.R. had its own synthpop and new wave acts, but the Cold War prevented a lot of Americans from hearing how good they were at assembling those 80s music building blocks into cool formations we didn't get here. Track listing: 0:00 Alyans, "At Dawn (На заре)" — Apple Music • Spotify…

It's summer, it's pride and it's (almost) post-pandemic. I'm celebrating all three of these with an episode I'm hoping sets the tone for the entire season. Special thanks to DJ Eric Pruitt for for suggestions from his playlist tribute to the days of Marilyn's Back Street. Watch the video for C.C....

Sixteen songs I totally vouch for and then one that's about a woman who is actually a cat. Special assist from Sam Pancake, host of a podcast I produce, Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie. The final track comes Steve, longtime online friend whose own collection of pop culture...

Thirteen episodes in, this niche 80s mixtape podcast finally features its debut of Sylvester and Valerie Dore. With a major assist from Ryan Capiro. Also listen to the episode of Different Head that gave me this episode's Simon Byrne track. (Different Head is the podcast that inspired me to make...

Here's a different sort of episode. Instead of blocks of a few songs, each grouped around a theme, this episode is all based on a single theme — and it's one big block. Have you ever seen Friday the Thirteenth: A New Beginning? Well, this one is inspired by that movie's new wave girl, Violet, and...

And… we're back! This episode features a selection of 80s synthpop from South Africa in addition to some classic italo disco as well as the best listener call-in this podcast will probably ever receive. 0:00 Linda "Babe" Majika, "Let's Make a Deal" — Apple Music • Spotify • Amazon 5:32 Linda…

Australians and saxophones and Madam Butterfly. First, here is the reddit threat about sax in italo disco tracks. And here is the Fantastic Planet video for "Spacer Woman." And here is the vide for "Bop Girl" featuring a 15-year-old Nicole Kidman with her naturally curly hair. Track listing (and...

America is still here, against all odds, so let's listen to some music. If you're into "Dance It Down," then you really have to check out its music video, which is both so squarely 80s but also fairly representative for mid-2000s indie culture. Track listing (and where to buy or stream these...

Italo disco makes the perfect Halloween dance party. Check out Dorine Hollier sexy-dancing out of her cardigan on Italy's Superclassifica show in 1984. If you like this episode, you might be into Different Head's awesome October episodes, which you can listen to here, here, here, here and here.…

In which I offer you my new favorite song, as of this week of music researching. If you want to check out my other music podcast — Singing Mountain, which is about video game music — then I'd suggest you start with the episode that's all about 80s dance music. And if you want to see my homemade...

This has been a year of surprises, but I really didn't foresee myself digging a duet by Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora. Yet here we are. Watch my weird homemade video using Blue Russell's "I Wanna Fly Away" and the Japanese stop-motion Nutcracker. And also watch the equally weird non-homemade...

I like 80s music, and I spend time hunting down 80s gems that I didn't hear back in the day, either because I grew up in the U.S. and missed out on all the cool euro stuff or because most 80s nights tend to feature the same few dozen hits again and again. I decided to try out putting some of my...
