FNNW 9/26

This week, the Road Trip van heads for Montreal — where neon messages bounced off the radio towers, local pop strategists played chess with the charts, and even the hats had more to say than just dancing.

We’ll also revisit an Australian album that hit number one at home but barely dented the U.S. charts, and a British synth record that had parents clutching their pearls back in ’84. Add to that one sharp-dressed lounge lizard celebrating 80, and a goth bassist turning 70, and you’ve got plenty of candles to blow out.

As always, three hours of vintage new wave, erratic mood swings, and listener requests that may or may not be a cry for help. Chat’s live. Show’s live. Your alibi can wait. fnnw.live, 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central.
