FNNW 6/5

This Friday on Friday Night New Wave, we're putting the spotlight on The Pretenders. You know, the band that somehow made Chrissie Hynde sound like she was quietly judging the entire decade while still getting everyone to dance anyway. We'll dig into their run of hits and oddities that still hold up better than most things from that era.

We'll also hit the usual Under the Radar picks... some deep cuts that probably should've been bigger... and the New Wave Birthday rundown, where we celebrate a few folks who helped make the '80s sound like the '80s. The rest of the night is mostly listener requests, as it should be.

Show kicks off at 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central. Fire over your requests anytime, and keep the chatbox lively if you're hanging out. See you then.
