Self Help Radio 02021: 1985 Continued

In a previous show - why, it's this one here! - Self Help Radio featured my favorite music from 1985.  The reasons are explained on the page linked, but perhaps we can also explain it here:

On shows around the time of its host's birthday, Self Help Radio explores its favorite music from a particular year.  When the show first started, it explored the music of the year the host first started, which was 1968.  Though Self Help Radio has only been on KBOO for a short time, it's actually aired on many stations in several different states since 2002, & the show has reached the year 1985.  That was what happened in January.

But!  It seems there was too much music from 1985 to fit in three hours.  So, the host promised in six months, the show would revisit the theme.  Hey!  It's been six months!  There's more great music from 1985!

Also, our friend Chuck - SHR's resident cinephile - stops by to talk about foreign films from 1985.

Might it also be notable that this was the first SHR live in KBOO's studios ever?  & the first for the host since March 2020?  Yeah, that's amazing!
