FNNW 3/27

Another Friday, another three hours of 80s new wave that somehow still feels fresher than most of what came after. We kick off at 8 PM Eastern / 7 PM Central, same as always, with your requests making up the bulk of the playlist because let's be honest, you people have better taste than I do on my own.

This week's Spotlight Artist is INXS... those Aussies who went from pub gigs to ruling the airwaves without ever quite explaining how they pulled it off. We'll trace their 80s run with a mix of the big ones everyone remembers and a couple that deserved more turns on the radio.

Beyond that, expect the usual: a handful of deep cuts in Under the Radar that probably never saw daylight outside someone's cassette deck, a quick spin through Then and Now for whatever weird history popped up this week in the decade, birthdays for the folks who helped make all this noise, and plenty of room for whatever curveballs you throw our way.

Requests are open now at fnnw.live... drop 'em there, hit the chatbox if you're in the mood to hang with the regulars, or use the private box if you'd rather keep your picks between us. You can also ping @wave80radio on X if that's your thing.

See you tonight at 8 Eastern. Bring snacks, leave the shoulder pads at home.
