After providing data for hundreds of Soundwaves 10@10 episodes, Intern Steve steps into the spotlight with a deep dive into All Things 80s. Almost every episode will be two parts … each half a distinctly different subject from its counterpart … seemingly unrelated pop culture and music topics that (more often than not) will have a connection!
Today we’ll hear a spectacular take on a Simon and Garfunkel classic, a song that a founding member and vocalist wished they’d never recorded, and how I bookended my mixed tape . . . with songs with the same title. You’ll hear all that and more in this edition of IA8T. Today’s trivia question: Cyndi Lauper relied heavily on studio musicians from a certain band during the recording of her smash debut album She’s So Unusual. Can you guess which band that was?
