Inspired by the recent reconnecting with a number of old friends from back in the day, and unable to sleep, I created this flashback podcast with tracks from my youth in the mid-80’s as a new wave scenester:

1. Depeche Mode, “Black Celebration”
2. New Order, “The Perfect Kiss”
3. The Cure, “Close To Me”
4. OMD, “If You Leave”

Picture of me from the last page of the high school yearbook, 1989, with big new wave hair… Michael Hutchence inspired, thankyouverymuch
