It's a Very '80s Christmas Hour! What could be more seasonal than shopping?

| 09 Dec 2021 | #33: Bananarama - I Heard A Rumor | 01:04:56 | |
Bananas? How could two persons devote over 40-minutes to talking about that? You may be surprised to learn that they can be as sweet to the ears as they are to the palate. Tally 10 picks o' de bunch - none too filling. AND, perhaps, the '20s ain't looking so bad with new grooves from: Shakespear's Sister, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Kylie Minogue, Abba, Billy Idol, The Stranglers, Clan of Xymox, Lebanon Hanover, but there's only one act that could ever satisfy AK-47's electro-appetite...

| 16 Aug 2021 | #34: David Bowie - Loving The Alien (w/special guest: Notorious J.A.M.) | 01:04:23 | |
Torture comes and torture goes. We hope you like David Bowie (or can tolerate him somewhat) because this is our most artist-centric episode to date. We start with with an exclusive interview with a real-life Bowie enthusiast: Notorious J.A.M. of VisArt Video and get a whiff of his top-6 essential Bowie albums. Then (about 40-minutes in) AK-47 bursts onto the scene with yet another hefty smattering of Bowie. Had enough Bowie? Well, our Listener Mails got something to say about the good and bad of... you guessed it... BOWIE! But AK-47 also wants to bitch about those YouTube reaction videos. Ironic, considering that this entire podcast is based on reactions. Granted, most ours are more delayed, usually. If anything's worthy of a reaction, it's this new: Fancy video.

| 30 Jan 2016 | #62: Lightning Seeds - Pure (& 2015 Album Reviews) | 00:42:47 | |
AK-47's "least favorite podcast" turns into a David Bowie tribute of the supernatural, while Ian Broudie's lyrics and hair fail to touch her softspot. Cola War II is postponed for a series of 80s-related 2015 album reviews featuring: Duran Duran, New Order, a-ha, Squeeze, Marc Almond, Chvrches, and Marsheaux, but who's the best? Links: | |||
| 23 Jul 2015 | #69: Murray Head - One Night in Bangkok | 00:23:29 | |
Where does Mr. Head get his kicks? Will the glowing heads elect the Arbiter as Dictator of the World? Can you hear the winking in his voice? Reagan gives Gorbachev a wedgie. What beer does CK1 prefer? | |||

| 14 Apr 2015 | #74: Lene Lovich - New Toy | 00:20:31 | |
Whether it's "1981" or "Studio 51" (sic), DJ CK-1 knows his "Lucky Number." We hear from some vintage drunk New Yorkers. AK-47 reveals that she's still crushing hard on Ralf Hutter. Who's your favorite Lene impersonator? Other artists mentioned: Thomas Dolby, Wendy O. Williams, New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk | |||
| 16 Oct 2021 | BONUS Movie-cast: Garbage Pail Kids & Rock N Roll Nightmare | 00:36:40 | |
It's Halloween. Let's try something different. Just as the carousel rotates in reverse: DJ CK1 and the Notorious J.A.M. speak less of music and much more about the art of cinema circa 1987. 1st Half: The Garbage Pail Kids Movie. 2nd Half: Rock 'n Roll Nightmare (aka The Edge of Hell). To listen, however, YOU must take the oath. This is non-official super secret stuff, folks - so no bitching to The Board. | |||

They're two of a kind - featuring a double-dose of upbeat, power-packed, energy-fueled commentary and a sprinkle of torturous laughter. Even if AK47 is not A.2.O.N.J., even if CK1 can't pronounce "Farrar," and he's drinking Jimmy Buffett beer, and the Gobotron 2000 ain't working - our montage of montages will release the twist of fate that will save humanity!
