#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! π΅ πΆ π» π π #Music #ClassicRock #Radio #Broadcasting
#TBT IMHO #DetroitTechno pioneer #RickDavis doesn't get the recognition he deserves. To be fair, he's notoriously anti-social and seems to prefer Kabbalah to clubbing. But he sure cranked out some trippy apocalyptic bangers back in the day, eh? #Cybotron #Music #Techno #EDM #Electro #RetroElectro β‘ πΉ πΆ π π https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9VM37LGXrY
#TBT Early 1980s. #MTV rarely played black artists, #BlackEntertainmentTelevision was just getting it's legs, so R&B music videos were usually low-budget and got limited exposure on locally-produced TV shows like #TheScene on #Detroit's #WGPR. We'd tape 'em on VHS and make copies and pass 'em around at school. This is what they looked like. Fer real! π΅ πΆ πΊ π π #SnoopDogg #SensualSeduction #Music #HipHop #RetroSoul

#LosLobos are doing a free gig in my town and nobody told me and I'm missing it. Ah well, here's this fab + dreamy tune from 1992 πΆ π π #Music #LatinMusic #ClassicRock #TBT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmr_uQv_YRw
#TBT Heavy rotation on AOR radio circa 1980, didnβt realize they were #Detroit veterans. A bit generic TBH, but itβs well-crafted and the band has solid musical chops. Respect! πΆππhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pr5GJ7nU30
#FlashbackFriday (aka #TBT redux) #1962: "Remember Me (I'm the One)" #GordonLightfoot's first big hit. Top 10 in #Canada, also charted across the border in #Detroit and #Buffalo. Starts around 1:50. Lovely πΆ π¨π¦ β€οΈ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmCarFE1NGc&t=110s
#TBT Hard to pick an all-time fave, but this has gotta be way up there. Still sounds lovely in the springtime ;-) πΆ π¨π¦ β€οΈ #GordonLightfoot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfyDs6uXww0
#TBT "Cars, Guitars, and Elliot Easton", early 1980s documentary about the fab guitarist and his toys. Got a crap song? Put Elliot Easton on it and it'll sound cool. Ric knew! π πΈ πΆ π π #Music #RockAndRoll #ClassicRock #NewWave #TheCars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R1zoVGqqbE
#TBT #1980 Parents bought me my first radio in 1979, I immediately tuned in to #Detroit's #WDRQ and #CKLW and this is what I heard. IMHO It's not #YMO's finest moment, but for many of us this is where it all started. πΆ π―π΅ β€οΈ #RyuichiSakamoto #YukihiroTakahashi #HaruomiHosono #YellowMagicOrchestra
#TBT #Granfalloon IMHO One of #Detroit's finest circa 1987-1992. Apparently they reformed in 2004, I didn't know! Very cool + eclectic proggy alt-rock, highly recommend their compilation "A Proud, But Meaningless Collection". πΆ π π #Music #Prog #ProgRock #AltRock #RockAndRoll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqlgsRvcAQ0

#TBT The little-known Socialist Labor Party was USA's first socialist party, founded in 1876 as the Workingmen's Party. It had some early success but would soon be overshadowed on the left by the Socialist Party of America and the Communist Party USA. But the SLP persevered and self-produced this documentary in 1990. IMHO a fascinating look at an alternative vision of American socialism. #Socialism #Marxism #Politics #USPol #History https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1GJvRaj7i8
