Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984.

It's getting dark early, but still warm enough to hang out on the curb with some buds and listen in as Duran Duran and New Edition come roaring into the bottom 10 and Wham make it big

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984.

This week Wham is still on top but Tina continues to ascend (again). No way to explain why Dennis DeYoung is still hanging around, but at least Pat Benatar's 'We Belong' has entered the chat.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984.

Billy Ocean ascends, Chicago possibly outstaying its welcome, Tina is about to come roaring back, and Dennis DeYoung is still inexplicably rising.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984.

This week Prince owns the charts with 2 singles and 2 more that he wrote/produced. Stevie is still on top but Tina is back on the charts so his reign may be coming to an end soon.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984.

Lot of movement this week with Tina and Bananarama exiting the countdown to make room for some lesser Rick Springfield and...Dennis DeYoung?

Stevie still on top though.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984.

This week Stevie takes the throne from Prince on a list made up almost entirely of some of the heaviest hitters to ever do it. And Rod Stewart.

Nothing new for Bandcamp Friday, but you WILL be able to own The Lake on vinyl by December should you choose to do so.

We were pretty critical of this one, but considering I have listened to the album(s), on average, 1.5 times a day for the past few weeks and continue to do so, its a pretty easy recommend.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. Sometimes I'm a day late.

This week Prince claims the throne from John Waite, Billy Ocean comes storming into the charts and Ghostbusters is...still here.

Gonna be just a WEE bit longer (have to get the new test press) but by the end of the year The Lake can be yours on vinyl if you're the kinda of person that enjoys that sort of thing.

Every Saturday I make a playlist of the Top 20 from that week in 1984. This week we're losing John Waite claims the top spot with one of the top songs of the 80's, Madonna enters the chat and Ghostbusters is...still hanging on 🙄

New episode in which we discuss quantity vs. quality in Country music, and why (IMO) 15 albums in 10 years is the way forward for musicians.

This week we're losing "I Can Dream About You" but gaining a Night Ranger.

We'll never get rid of Ghostbusters 🙄

Tina still runs Bartertown

It is #BandcampFriday and, real talk guys, we just had our basement trashed in the recent Milwaukee floods, so if you were thinking about buying any of my music go ahead and DO THAT.

P.S. You'll be able to buy 'The Lake' on vinyl by xmas.

This week Peter Wolf's "Lights Out" is on the list but not on streaming. Advantage to Bananarama, who now gets to enter this chart a week early.

Regardless, all hail QUEEN TINA

This is going to destroy independent musicians who depend on merch sourced abroad.

For me (and you) it means it’s gonna be a while before you can buy The Lake on vinyl

Look...I love Wisconsin with all my heart but nobody, and I mean nobody, is calling any BBQ from this state, much less brisket, the best in the country 😂

Happy Bandcamp Friday!

No new music to share just yet, but a lot of demos have been laid down for the next album. Look for news on that soon-ish.

In the meantime, I want to share news about a little experiment that I’m doing. 🧵
