NEW SPINS TONIGHT ON "AWFULLY AWESOME EIGHTIES!"

Here are some new spins coming tonight on Awfully Awesome Eighties, which will make you turn it up to 11(or perhaps down to -11 - that's a risk I'm willing to take)! At the very least, you should be saying "MTV, what in the heck happened to you?"

1. Howard Jones - The Prisoner - '89
2. Landscape - Norman Bates - '81(A little something for Halloween)
3. Honeymoon Suite - Love Changes Everything - '88
4. The Outfield - All The Love In The World - '86

11. Aussie Band - Somebody Wants You - '80 - One of the great lost singles of the 80's! This duo featured a former long-time manager of Fleetwood Mac; John McVie also guested on bass.

10/22 NEW ADDS

Remember the days when MTV would play videos from unsigned bands? Or how about when MTV would play a video showing a video arcade game getting pushed off of a cliff, but if a band included arcade game sounds in its video without the proper clearance, then they would be yanked off of their playlist after only 1 or 2 airings? This next batch of new adds from Awfully Awesome Eighties has some reminders of those days!

1. FX - Stimulation - '81
2. Heart - Allies - '83
3. Bootcamp - Hold On To The Night - '81
4. Rick Springfield - State Of The Heart - '85
5. Sheena Easton - Almost Over You - '83
6. Sherbs - I Have The Skill - '81
7. Heyoka - Video Madness - '82
8. Rupert Holmes - Answering Machine - '80
9. Nicolette Larson - I Only Want To Be With You - '82
10. Swing Out Sister - Twilight World - '87

"AWFULLY AWESOME EIGHTIES" IS NOW ON THE AIR!

Awfully Awesome Eighties is now on the air! If you're looking for a station that will play all of the hits and misses from the decade of excess, then feel free to bookmark AAE's webpage and follow us as we attempt to build a definitive guide to the 80's! MTV may never return to the way they used to be(free-form, 24/7 music video format), but with AAE, you can at least hear the songs again, no matter how classic or obscure they may have been!

I know I will have critics right away who will say "Oh, you've just started out with it" or "You don't have enough to offer." As Patty Smyth once sang on her overlooked late 80's Columbia album: "Give it time, time, time, give it time..." Some of AAE's initial adds include Sneaker, Blanket Of Secrecy, Ali Thomson, Shoes, Tone Loc, Citizen, Steel Breeze, Henry Lee Summer, Charlie Dore, Joey Scarbury, Robin Lane & The Chartbusters, Missing Persons, Catholic Girls, Franke & The Knockouts, Dweezil Zappa, Glass Tiger, Night Ranger, The Cult, New Order, Benjamin Orr, etc.

Join our Facebook group at http://facebook.com/groups/awfullyawesome80s and help us shape up the playlist and get in on some wacky discussions about Tenpole Tudor, your favorite 80's soundtracks, etc. AAE's webpage is located at http://awfullyawesomeeighties.com - you will see a "Play Now" button near the top that will initially give you media player choices after clicking it as well as the opportunity to get a mobile app. The stream is on Tunein.com, but they need to change the stream title; if you want the link, then just drop me a note and I'll provide it. 3 mobile apps should be available later on this week through my partnership with Nobex Radio.
