We in small towns across America couldn't get rock and roll stations during the day. At night Mexican radio stations blasted 50,000 watts towards us and that's how we got our rock and roll. So when this was released in 83 with New Wave it was an instant hit to millions of 20 something year olds who lived by Mexican Radio.

Dude, you are my new friggin hero lol. Following Marc Moreland's death (which followed that of Joe Nanini) back in around 2003, I resurrected the Dog's Life Wall of Voodoo Fan Club, simply because these fans are a special breed, and this band has never been properly appreciated. Well, after we made to well over 100 members and had some real momentum going, Rock.com went belly up, and as their server crashed, our entire database and address book was wiped out. I literally had no way to contact anyone, and... such is the tragedy of both life and Wall of Voodoo. FWIW, we are still slowly rebuilding Dog's Life, and the (outdated, in need of attention) page can be found: www.tangento.net/GrampasHouse.html If enough people show up again, I'll fix it up all nice & modern :) I suppose I ought to post most of this in its own, if I want any action lol.

We had a very good college radio station that played alternative music. Listening to that channel really expanded my musical horizons. It got bought out by Clear Channel in 2000. They even kept the call sign and tried pretending to be alternative, but it’s been all corporate ever since. When the takeover happened, they announced that the most requested song of all time was “Jerry Was A Race Car Driver” by Primus and that they would never play that song again.

Great song. I used to live in Tucson and there were 1 or 2 AM stations in Mexico that you could hear all the way up to Chicago. If you were driving across country you had 2 choices: religious programming or AM. There was no FM at that time. Man, they played some of the best music I've ever heard in my life. They'd play blues or jazz or rock, anything, but sometimes it was staticky. The Mexican people are very savvy to what's going on in the music world and they can rock out. Mariachi is good, too. I always had a ball in Mexico and I love the people there, so friendly.

Stan Ridgway has remained very active in music since leaving Wall of Voodoo in 1983 (the band continued without him for a few years with a new singer, Andy Prieboy, but it ultimately broke up in 1988), and has released several solo albums. His most recent album was released in 2016. As for Chas T. Grey, I wasn’t able to find much about him post-Wall of Voodoo (although he remained with the band until its breakup), but a Google search for his discography did show that he did some writing and arranging, but there seems to be no new activity from him that I can find. Presumably, he has been retired from the music business since then.

For those that don't know, a lot of San Diego radio stations have their antenna placed in Tijuana so they can have a stronger signal than what is allowed in the U.S. Am 690 was one. You could hear that station at night in Denver, Arizona, and even up to Western Canada. The agreement they have with Mexico is that the American station would have to have some programming in Spanish, like 1 hr a week.

FYI To those who are watching this who did not grow up in the 70's and 80's. The FCC had certain rules and regulations that governed what radio stations could broadcast. To get around these regulations some people went to Mexican towns that bordered the US and started radio stations there, these were mostly talk radio programs hence the line in the song "talking about the US inflation". These regulations were eliminated in the mid 80's.

1st heard this on Dr. Demento then later saw them at the US festival. Fun times.

Bought the album in 1982/3. This is an example of eccentric /avant garde / left of centre music that became mainstream and charted successfully. Obviously very clever people. Credit to their record company for supporting them and financing this superb video. MTV was pumpin' in the early 80's. Great time to be in your 20's.

It was the best of times musically. 70s and most of the 80s. Late 80s rap and hair metal were taking over, not as catchy and fun as earlier and the 90s were progressively worse. There was so much different stuff going on early, sound salad for the ears. I miss it.

Got me hooked 1st time around. An original unknown classic.
