#TBT #Playlist from #RadiosInMotion, very cool early-80s #PostPunk / #NewWave show on #Detroit's #WDET. Named after the #XTC classic. Very Anglocentric, but so am I so s'all good. A couple of local acts, #Cinecyde and #MarkJNorton, made the cut. Initially hosted by #MikeHalloran (maybe his handwriting?), later of #SanDiego's #91X and a few other stations. IIRC He got fired from one of 'em 'cuz he burned the studio down or something like that! 🎵 🎶 📻 👍 😁 #Music #ClassicRock #Radio #Broadcasting

Loved this show. It connected me to a musical culture that almost seemed exotic to white suburban adolescent me. And yeah, this is where #DetroitTechno got some of it's first exposure. Thanks to @civicDetroitDan for passing this along! 🎶👍 😁 #TheScene #WDET #WGPR https://wdet.org/2023/06/06/reflecting-on-the-cultural-legacy-of-the-scene/

Egyptian Pharaohs fell from the sky, fell from the sky, and played the blues

Thanks, Ish

Turned it up when the first notes played
