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.

  • Ah — time warp! Love it :)

  • Thank you.

  • 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.
