Right now the stand out years seem to be 1975 and 1979. I'm not sure why. Lots a good stuff going on in those years. Things seem to really polarize Folk, Metal, Funk, Punk, Ska, Reggae and New Wave were all Popular at the same time in 1979. It was musically multi-cultural everybody got along even though they were really freaking different. It was the land before MTV.
It was a very good year. It was the year they invented the musical atom bomb, The music video. In 1979 "The Buggles" heralded the demise of music as we knew it with 'Video Killed The Radio Star.' It was the first video played on MTV in 1981.
Boom.
Today's Song of the Day is "Atomic" by Blondie off their 1979 Album "Eat to the Beat."
Crazy fact: I had the hugest crush on Debbie Harry. My god. Anway, She was in the David Chronburg film Videodrome. very coolioweird.
