Episode 36: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 36 (The Second British Invasion)
Welcome back to the 80s! The early 80s saw a sharp increase in popularity of British acts in the United States. With pop and rock music going through a creative slump in the U.S., and a little help from MTV, the desire for music from across the pond was beginning to grow. The British are coming, again!A shout out to those of you who have been with us since the beginning and welcome to our new listeners. As always, thanks to the people who helped us put this together: Alan (for all our artwork), DJ Phil B (for the technical stuff) and David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.Please tell all your friends about us and follow this page so you know when new podcasts are available. You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, Tribel, Hive, Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky.Songs chosen by both of us. Track list coming soon.Listen, enjoy, share, follow. And thanks for keeping 80s music alive!BB & DD
