Episode 11 - 1984 Part 2

The 1984 cipher continues with 2 more classic albums! We kick
things off with a deep dive into the billboard top 100 (1:46)
Kris reminds Marty of a previous conversation regarding the movie
“Blow” (5:16) Kris seeing Willie Nelson at Battleship Texas at 6
years old (8:50) More vital Huey Lewis talk (10:54) Key
differences between “Dancing in the Dark” and “Dancing in the
Sheets” (16:30) Kris tells a great story about The Cars and “city
music” (24:40) An assembly Marty attended in 4th grade which he
was subjected to a musician playing “Axel F” on a Xylophone
(27:02) Trying our best to see how much Ann Wilson was in the red
with gambling debts when she recorded “Almost Paradise” (28:20)
We then get to Kris’s pick, the ethereal and emotive Cocteau
Twins album “Treasure” (37:20) After breaking down the finer
points of this monumental album, Kris and Marty break down one of
the albums that put Minneapolis on the map, The Replacements “Let
it Be” (1:07:25). Thanks as always for listening!
