In the TapeHeads spirit of the holidays, we tackle the controversial, condescending, and ultimately extremely successful song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" released by the super-group Band Aid in 1984. For our movie recommendation, we proudly present a mostly forgotten (but completely awesome) documentary about a similarly altruistic holiday offering by the hard rock community, entitled Hear 'n' Aid.
Contact us with comments, requests, or suggestions at tapeheads80@gmail.com. And, as always, we hope you enjoy it. Happy holidays from all two of us here at TapeHeads HQ!
