About this listen

 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 Music

    67: Bourgeois Tagg, "I Don't Mind At All" / Freiheit, "Keeping the Dream Alive"
    Aug 15 2025

    This episode is a very special two-bands-for-for-the-price-of-one conversation.

    Bourgeois Tagg. Does this band ring a bell for you? We would be surprised if it they do, but their song "I Don't Mind At All" is fantastic, and we think you'll agree.

    Similarly, Freiheit are a German band known for a song from the soundtrack to the movie "Say Anything" (we discussed the song on that episode as well) that was also featured on American Idol. Best Paul McCartney song he never wrote.

    66: Dire Straits, "Money For Nothing"
    Aug 1 2025

    This song and album was one of the bigggest from the 80's, as well as the most controversial for its use of an anti- gay slur. Mark Knopfler was and is one of the best guitarsts around. We delve into all of it.

  • 65: RIP, Brian Wilson

    65: RIP, Brian Wilson
    Jul 15 2025

    As a member of The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson wrote many of the world's most famous surf songs, despite being afraid of the water and not knowing how to swim. After he'd stopped performing with them live, he went on to write some of the best and most beloved songs of all time. He also had a very tragic and strange life story, as we discuss in this episode.
