Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984.

It's getting dark early, but still warm enough to hang out on the curb with some buds and listen in as Duran Duran and New Edition come roaring into the bottom 10 and Wham make it big

Billy Ocean ascends, Chicago possibly outstaying its welcome, Tina is about to come roaring back, and Dennis DeYoung is still inexplicably rising.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984.

This week Prince owns the charts with 2 singles and 2 more that he wrote/produced. Stevie is still on top but Tina is back on the charts so his reign may be coming to an end soon.

Lot of movement this week with Tina and Bananarama exiting the countdown to make room for some lesser Rick Springfield and...Dennis DeYoung?

Stevie still on top though.

This week Stevie takes the throne from Prince on a list made up almost entirely of some of the heaviest hitters to ever do it. And Rod Stewart.

Prince. Going crazy.

This week Prince stays on top, Chicago jumps higher than they should, Eddie and The Cruisers arrive, and Ghostbusters is...finally gone. πŸ™Œ

Nothing new for Bandcamp Friday, but you WILL be able to own The Lake on vinyl by December should you choose to do so.

We were pretty critical of this one, but considering I have listened to the album(s), on average, 1.5 times a day for the past few weeks and continue to do so, its a pretty easy recommend.

New episode in which we discuss quantity vs. quality in Country music, and why (IMO) 15 albums in 10 years is the way forward for musicians.

It is #BandcampFriday and, real talk guys, we just had our basement trashed in the recent Milwaukee floods, so if you were thinking about buying any of my music go ahead and DO THAT.

P.S. You'll be able to buy 'The Lake' on vinyl by xmas.

This week Peter Wolf's "Lights Out" is on the list but not on streaming. Advantage to Bananarama, who now gets to enter this chart a week early.

Regardless, all hail QUEEN TINA

β€˜De minimis’ loophole is ending; here’s what it means for online orders Consumers may see higher costs and delays as the Trump administration halts an exemption that allowed goods below $800 to enter the country duty-free.

This is going to destroy independent musicians who depend on merch sourced abroad.

For me (and you) it means it’s gonna be a while before you can buy The Lake on vinyl

At any rate, that’s the news for now. I hope you find some great new music today (besides mine) and in that spirit here’s some recs for some of my favorite releases this year so far for you to dig into.

Take care out there

It also means that all future releases (and possibly Middle West) will see limited vinyl releases. Which is exciting. To me at least.
