That show in 2013 was unreal. 80s sax solos, red berets and lipstick, Pierre Perpall lookin' glam disco. Definitely a highlight of Pop that year. Fantastic show tonight!

8:44 PM, December 16th, 2023
Ben Armstrong (host)
Hey thanks Jas!

Fantastic show Ben, I was so hypnotized by that sound in the 80s including the show Miami Vice with that heavy synth background …….viva Crockett and Tubbs

8:46 PM, December 16th, 2023
Ben Armstrong (host)
Liz, you know it! Pierre Perpall had a 2AM start time in a church basement and it ruled

Jas Nasty
I feel like I should be driving down a highway with neon lights in a very '80s car also in the 80s itself

8:49 PM, December 16th, 2023
Ben Armstrong (host)
Thanks Eddy. Me too wrt Miami Vice! I wore out my cassette copy of the soundtrack with Jan Hammer. Those synth instrumentals were integral to the program. No to mention shoulder pads and mesh shoes...

8:49 PM, December 16th, 2023
Ben Armstrong (host)
Ha Jas yes, the music is that evocative. Put the cassette in the deck and drive...

Jeremy
This is amazing!

9:02 PM, December 16th, 2023
Eddy
Jas, when your driving on that highway with the top down you must play “In The Air Tonight “

9:04 PM, December 16th, 2023
Ben Armstrong (host)
Hi Jeremy, thanks for listening and letting me know!

9:06 PM, December 16th, 2023

For the diggers, this Pluton & Humanoids 12" is the rarest item in Pierre Perpall's catalogue. If you see it for a nice price, grab it!

Oh man! I forgot about the 2am start! It was worth it!
