SPEAKER_00

You don't take it's never everyone, you're not gonna get the self-titled and only synthpop album by San Francisco Band until December, that was no gift refused from 1986. Fun fact, the band would later evolve into the industrial focus group Consolidated. For that, we heard a track from the brand new album Big Disgrace by Hot and Freddie, one of the brightest stars in the synthpop scene right now, in my opinion. The track was Femme Hysteria, it'll be featuring more of the album in the coming weeks. And we started the show off with a brand new song from Trans X, the group that brought you Living on Video. We also have an interview with the band coming out in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned for that. Next up is a set of three songs for my personal collection. Some of my all-time favorite. You know, a great DJ plays the music the crowd wants to hear, not just your own personal favorite. Or the show would get old pretty quickly, but I think we're gonna love these tracks, and maybe even discover a few new favorites. We're gonna kick things off with the lead singer of Echo and the Funny Man, Ian McCullough, and a stunning 1989 solo single, Faith and Healing, written with a seven-inch remix of that. It'll also be followed by Psych with a song Uncivilized, one of my favorite all-time groups and songs. We're gonna close it out with a rare track from Scottish Sinpop Band. These guys were very popular in San Francisco in the eighties and nineties, and they were active from 1983 to 1987. The 1987 track The Magician.
