Welcome to TapeHeads, a fun retrospective series of conversations about 80's music and movies that we love, love to hate, and sometimes even those with which we were previously unfamiliar. We occasionally discuss music theory and recording techniques, as well as popular culture of the time. We love talking about it and we think you'll have fun too. New episodes drop on the 1st and the 15th of every month.
Blaine and Todd hosts TapeHeads: 80's Music and Beyond, a music show with 91 episodes published.

After Sheryl Crow was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we felt it was apropos to tell the not-well-known back story of the Tuesday Night Music Club. Great album, but it also has a body count. We go
We're introducing a new type of episode, in which we discuss various songs that share the same name--focusing on two from the 80's--and then find lots of others, just for fun. The theme for this first one is Never Surren
Originally hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, the members of the band Pages moved to Los Angeles, where they released albums and eventually transitioned into the band the world knows as Mr. Mister. They created some of the b
in 1986, a documentary film crew went to an arena in Maryland and, instead of filming the concert, wandered around and filmed the goings-on in the parking lot. The resulting documentary has gone on to be very famous and

Men at Work are a band that both of us love, and have seen live, and (I think) have all three of their albums. We may not talk about them much, but they're one of our favorite bands, even making it into Blaine's Top 10 f
MTV was, simply put, the driving force and taste creator for music in the 1980s. Started in 1981, it was life-changing and ubiquitous for decades. Its relevance began to wane after it stopped playing music videos, in fav
To celebrate our third anniversary of the big show, we thought it would be fun to look back a bit and discuss where we started and where we're going, as well as appreciate those of you who've been with us along the way,
Were there songs in the 80's to which you slow-danced with your sweetheart (or your flavor of the week), but then years or decades later, you listened to the lyrics and realized that maybe the songs weren't as romantic a
How do we explain Max Headroom? He was a not-really CGI character but quasi-virtual TV presenter and talking head who was absolutely everywhere in the late 80's. The actor who played him, Matt Frewer, is still a very bus
Whitesnake are epic and awesome. Yes, they are. "Here I Go Again" is one of the most iconic songs of the 80s, and that's not even mentioning the video. They cast a long shadow and have a very interesting story. We also h
In this 'very special' episode, Blaine kept the subject a secret from Todd until we recorded it. New Edition and all of the tentacles of their related bands (Bobby Brown, New Kids on the Block, and even Whitney Houston)
Vinnie Vincent, botn Vincent Cusano, is an extremely interesting character. He's most famous for his tenure in Kiss, but his career has varied widely, from working on some famous television shows to being a recluse for d
The Cars got their start in Boston in the early 70's, and for their fifth album in 1984, they teamed up with mega-producer "Mutt" Lange to create a huge hit album. We discuss all of it here in this extremely fun episode.
