The Tape Would Understand

Things started with The Clash, inevitably jumping to Manic Street Preachers and leading to whole bunch of 'radio' songs. But not including Radio Song by R.E.M. Although there is another 'radio' song by R.E.M. My brain hurts.

 

Put another way: 12 songs. 48 minutes. Enjoy. 

1) Hitsville U.K: The Clash ft. Ellen Foley (1980)

2) Radio G String: Bow Wow Wow (1980)

3) Radio Waves (Album Version): O.M.D. (1983)

4) Take Back The Radio (Flying Mojito Bros Refrito): Katy J Pearson (2021)

5) Radio #1 (Señor Coconut's "Rumbamambochacha" Remix By Uwe Schmidt): AIR ft. Sergio Lagos (2001)

6) On My Radio: The Selecter (1979)

7) Sports Radio (RLC Dub Mix): Elite Beat (2020)

8) Factory Radio: Black Box Recorder (1998)
