Since the mid-1980s, Andy Golub has been a passionate fan of pop band Duran Duran, amassing an unmatched archive of posters, flyers, advertising, and press clippings that's received visits from adoring "Duranies" — and inspired his two books on the group.

It was the time of BIG hair, shoulder pads & skinny ties, glam make-up, MTV and some of the best music that ever came across the radio. In fact, a new trend in music was making its way across the pond from a variety of English & European artists... their hits made a big splash with American audiences.  Welcome to New Wave and Alternative Rock.  Many of these groups dabbled in holiday music. So take a listen to this chat with Mister West, and discover an alternative look at Xmas music with some under-rated, lesser-known gems you'll want to add to your holiday playlist.

The Fantastic Plastics are a neo-New Wave duo who mix new wave, synth punk, and electro elements with Orwellian and Sci-Fi inspired lyricism - and a hell of a lot of fun and energy in their twice-weekly livestream performances on Twitch.

I had a great time talking with Tyson and Miranda back in May about touring, streaming on Twitch, playing the theremin, connecting with an audience over the internet, and so much more. So find out why the Fantastic Plastics love new wave music - and why you might learn to love it, too.

Fantastic Plastics songs in this episode:
“Perfect Strangers”
