Kitsch Klassics playlist 5th May 2007
So what's this all about on a soul page you might be asking? Well once in while like all good radio DJ's I occasionally help out when cover is required & this particular night between 8 - 10pm there was the chance to indulge in nostalgia of another type & that was of the pop variety.
Kitsch Klassics is a voyage of rediscovery of the great, the good & the occasionally cheesy or naff of the 1970's & 1980's, one of the golden eras of popular music.
Check out the playlist below & also a couple of earler podcasted shows * from when we were an internet only station & if your ahem, of a 'certain age', I guarantee one or two of these tracks will make you grin with an associated memory from your childhood or teenage salad days.
Enjoy pop pickers !
