Saturd80s

Missing Persons, "Destination Unknown":
One of the first people I got to know at OSU later became a DJ for the college radio station. Missing Persons was one of many groups he introduced me to. Wall of Voodoo was another group introduced to me by one of those first-term dorm friends. "Call of the West" is my all-time favorite from this group, with a firmly tongue-in-cheek mockery of the mythology we've built about the American West. Wall of Voodoo is probably best known for "Mexican Radio," which was on this same album.
Aww, heck, I just checked on "Mexican Radio;" I'm gonna double up on Wall of Voodoo.
