TapeHeads: 80's Music and Beyond

This episode is the first in a series about the singular and super-interesting story of 80's glam rock, which seemed to rise from nowhere to the top of the charts. This subject is so vast that we will break it up and share it in a number of episodes over the next few months, and I imagine that we'll return to that particular gold mine often after that.

We also have a brand spanking new Spotify profile, where we share accompanying playlists. Here's the one for this episode.
