Through Being Cool is all about the New Wave. We mine the late ’70s and early ’80s for classic cuts from the underground, some of which poked their little heads above ground for a bit of fresh air. On this episode, we’ll spend some time with the Boomtown Rats (pictured), Elvis Costello, the Puppies, Classix Nouveaux, China Crisis, The Bongos, Wall of Voodoo, Student Teachers, The Toasters, The Drongos, Dub 7, Scott Goddard, Holly and the Italians, The Jetzons, Cowboys International, and many more.
