For Episode 8, we're jumping forward to the new wave sound of the 80s with Song From the Big Chair by Bath-based synthpop bastions Tears For Fears. From the unmistakable instrumental virtuosity of “Head Over Heels” and “The Working Hour,” to the iconic drum loops, synth lines and production of “Shout” and “Everybody Wants to Rule The World,” we discuss politics, the 80s sound and the amount of music per square inch in various genres. We also explore the “Second Invasion” of British artists into the American charts and whether a third invasion is imminent, somewhere down the road, or may have already happened. We also pay our tributes to the wonderful talents of Chadwick Boseman, who tragically passed away after a long battle with cancer the morning we filmed this episode.
