Building on last week’s episode that celebrated music released in 1982, this week on Teenage Kicks, we celebrate more new wave and synth pop. We also wish a belated happy birthday to Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears, whose birthday was this past Monday, Aug. 22.

In addition to Tears for Fears, we’ll hear the Human League, New Order, Holly and the Italians, the Waitresses, Depeche Mode, Minneapolis’s Paul Westerberg, and more.
