1983! August in the Name of Love Song!
It's 1983. Do your parents know where the heck you are? No way man. Josh was probably in a new wave disco dancing to October Love song and Tyler was probably shining his pointy boots! It was a golden age of music, videos and fashion. 12" singles were our Pokemon, peroxide was our hair colour of...

1982! Summertime on the Ceiling!
Somehow the randoms steered the pod back into 1982! Maybe it was because we still had so much to say about the second best year in music and fashion. Josh and Tyler reminisce about their recent trip to Niagara Falls to see Alison Moyet, Marc Almond and Human League. It included dinner at Denny's...

1990! You can Dance! If you want to!
Josh and Tyler do a U-Turn and end up back in 1990 which is not as bad as it sounds. There will be some reminiscing, some dream producing and or course, dancing. But not really. 1990 was a change of a decade, out with the new wave and in with the dance revolution. Don't forget to stop at social...

1982! Aileen! C'mon!
82 was a brilliant year and you have to read that with a British accent to get the full effect! It was a year of Dexy's Midnight Runners for Tyler and a lot of Yazoo for Josh. And don't forget the hair. It really was all about the hair. And the eyeliner. And looking like Adam Ant. There was a lot...

1984! Big Brother is Still Listening!
This week's random drawing took Josh and Tyler all the way back to 1984, the year of George Orwell's delightful tale of love and joy in what looked like 2026... Yes, were were over the quicksand pits but the threat of nuclear bombs lingering kept us dancing with tears in our eyes. Josh loved some...

1990! Enjoy Some Silence!
1990 was the year we had to start adulting for real this time! It was all about jobs and clothes and clubs and records were taking the backseat. Tyler calls it a transition year and Josh has to agree. Sounds weren't new, our 80's bands were slowing down and the new decade hadn't begun to take…
