This week on Friday Night New Wave, we’re marking the 40th anniversary of that massive 1985 music telethon known as Live Aid—sprinkling in performances from six artists who brought synths, sass, and some truly odd fashion to those global stages.

We’ll also check the New Wave Birthdays calendar, where several drummers are aging gracefully, and take a New Wave Road Trip to San Francisco—land of art-school punks, synth rebels, and sax solos that won’t quit.

Plus, a new X poll that’s already making people choose sides in the eyeliner wars. All that, plus your requests—obscure, obvious, or otherwise.

Live Friday, 9pm to midnight Eastern at fnnw.live.
