Skinny Tie Mix Tape

Here is a music mix tape I made with some of my favorite New Wave pop hits from the very late 1970s and early 1980s.  I call this 10 song mix SKINNY TIE.  Enjoy.

  1. General Public - Tenderness
  2. Split Enz - I Got You
  3. The Cars - Bye Bye Love
  4. Madness - It must Be love
  5. Nick Lowe - Cruel To Be Kind
  6. Squeeze - Tempted
  7. Haircut 100 - Love Plus One
  8. English Beat - Mirror In The Bathroom
  9. Elvis Costello - Watching The Detectives
  10. The Jam - Beat Surrender

Let me know what you think.

    Nice mix.

    Here’s a crime for you — “Bye Bye Love” is the best Cars song, yet it isn’t on their greatest hits album. Lots of people think “Moving In Stereo” is a slam-dunk choice for a Cars greatest hits album too (I think they have Phoebe-impaired judgment, but who am I to say?), yet it isn’t on there either.

    Alex - agreed.

    At my 10 year high school reunion, people couldn’t agree on what music to play. I asked if they had the CARS greatest hits. They did. Everyone was pleased.
