Abracadabra, this pod will reach out and grab ya! Today we dive back into June 1982. But first the Mixtaper goes on a (minor) rant about AI and the platforms so desperate to get into bed with it all in the name of "revenue streams" and reveals his complicated history with one of them. We then get back into the music proper with Bucks Fizz bringing some vocal harmonies. Dollar reach the Trevor Horn denouement while Steve Miller brings the magic. We get the final of the Roxy Music naughty songs trilogy before Gary Numan takes us to bed. The Clash make a triumphant return and we end with the Four Tops taking us back to school!
