On this episode, Will chats with Will Rigby, drummer and founding member of The dB's. While The dB's are credited with influencing the sound of others that came later in the decade, the band did not have the commercial success it deserved. Their path to greater exposure was likely hampered by the limited releases of their first two albums. In the 1980s, "Stands for Decibels" and "Repercussion" were only released on vinyl by the UK label Albion. Music lovers would have to find their record in a store that imported EPs or be among the few fortunate enough to hear them on an independent radio station. Fortunately, both of those albums have now been on vinyl for the first time US. Thanks to Propeller Sound Recordings, both remastered discs are available now.

Steven Vass is the author of "Let the Music Play: How R&B Fell in Love with 80s Synths." It's the overlooked story of how R&B, disco and funk were transformed by the explosion of music tech in the era of ghetto blasters and Ronald Reagan. It traces how pioneers like Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock inspired a new generation of black musicians and producers to reinvent music with a whole new set of rules.00:00 - Introduction07:10 - Interview: Steven VassSubscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1980snowFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Become a patron at www.patreon.com/1980snowEmail us at [email protected] or [email protected] your copy of "Let the Music Play here.

Beginning in 2015, fans of 1984's "The Last Starfighter" were thrilled when a potential sequel was teased. That excitement was buoyed when “Rogue One” scribe Gary Whitta announced he was working with Jon on the project—and ultimately released concept art for the film in 2021. Sadly, however, those hopes were dashed in September 2022, when Whitta responded to a fan on Twitter, writing, “To be honest there's a decent chance it never happens.” And since then, there have been no updates.On this episode, Will chats with Jonathan Betuel, the writer of "The Last Starfighter," about the origins of the film, his experience with arcade games, and whether a potential sequel is still in the works.00:00 - Introduction06:05 - Interview: Jonathan Betuel42:25 - Wrap-UpSubscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1980snowFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Become a patron at www.patreon.com/1980snowEmail us at [email protected] or [email protected].

Will chats with author Alexander Hamilton Cherin about his new novel "The Mighty Six-Ninety (690)." It's a fictionalized account of actual events that transpired in Southern California during the Summer of 1981.A struggling AM radio station buried $50,000 in cash and gave its listeners clues as to its location, one a day, until the money was found. Set against the backdrop of a California landscape very much in flux, the story resonates evenly between desperation, hope, and suburban dissonance.Become a patron at www.patreon.com/1980snow.Email us at [email protected] or [email protected] your copy of "The Mighty Six-Ninety (690)" here.
