Friday's Weekend Mix of Music: Tax Time

In honor of Monday being Tax Day I have created an excellent mix of music that pertains to the IRS. Of course I don't mean the filthy beauracrats in Washington that take your money, no I mean the record label I.R.S., which was home to some excellent music in the early 80's and also some truly horrific stuff. Here's a mix of the good an the bad and I hope you all enjoy it while you're trying to get your returns in this weekend!!!

R.E.M. - "Radio Free Europe"
The Go Go's - "We Got the Beat"
The Buzzcocks - "What Do I Get"
The Notwist - "Pick Up the Phone"
Fine Young Cannibals - "Suspicious Minds"
Oingo Boingo - "Only A Lad"
Squeeze - "Tempted By the Fruit of Another"
The Concrete Blondes - "Joey"

Hey, that's really clever, IRS records for tax time!

I remember the first time I heard "Radio Free Europe" and the Go-Gos (although it was "Our Lips Are Sealed" -- heard as "I Love Cecille"!), someone must have had a connection to IRS or at least hipper tastes than I did then.

Always hated "Joey" by the way, but certain folks loved it.

Hey that's a remake of "Tempted," not the original version.
