Shownotes

This week, we’re flashing back to the final stretch of summer 1983, when Billie Jean still owned the dance floor, Little Red Corvettes were running red lights in our imaginations, and every mixtape had at least one British accent and a synth line that sounded like the future. From Dexys’ suspenders to Thomas Dolby’s mad-scientist charm, this countdown is pure Gen X magic: theatrical, emotional, and ready to make you feel things under a ceiling fan. April may be winding down, but these tracks are still on fire.
