One of my favorite Cars records, 'Heartbeat City', was released this week in 1984. It's my favorite album from that year. Solid bangers, front to back.

Teacher jokingly challenged a 10-year-old to 'find Duran Duran' while in the U.K. She did.

"Did we have it made?
Somehow I thought we could remain
If nothing lasts
No one's to blame
And you can't look back
To where you got off the track
That's a mystery that we'll never crack.."
I wore this cassette OUT.

Just registered for this, it's tonight, Jim and Dennis of The Smithereens will be talking about their debut record Especially for You at the 'Tuesday Night Record Club' that the Springsteen Archives does via Monmouth University in New Jersey. It's free and there's an in person and Zoom option (I obviously grabbed a Zoom ticket). I've talked here before about how much I love this record - this'll be cool to hear.

Today (October 31) in 1980, The Smithereens released their debut 4 song EP 'Girls About Town'. The four songs were also included on 'Attack of the Smithereens', one of their compilations. Great bunch of songs here. It didn't have them in a playlist on YouTube, so I made one.

Strawberry Switchblade's Since Yesterday was released this week in 1984, accompanied by this brilliant video directed by Tim Pope which perfectly complements the song and the band.
