The Cold 30 - Hosted By The 80s Guy
We both know that great music never gets old, but some of these tunes have been feeling a bit lonely of late. This is the second chance they've been waiting for...a time to get together with 29 of their closest mates and relive the glory days.
This is Triple M's Cold 30 - and it's only on 104.5 Triple M!
The question is, which year should be picked? And which songs make that year a worthy contender?
Sit back of an evening with your friend The 80's Guy and listen to stories of bygone times, that in all probability, are completely made up.
Plucked from obscurity to join what was then known as FM104 by the legendary Bill Riner in the 80's.
His Mullet, when not being worn, is kept in a fireproof glass case and is insured for one million dollars. It is reveared as an aphrodisiac by women and some mammals.
He was voted best radio announcer in the world at the 1987 Montreal Radio Awards.
Many people blame the Dean Brothers for demolishing "Cloudland" but the truth is that is was pretty much destroyed the night proir by The 80's Guy doing a breakdancing demonstration that got a little out of hand.

The 80s Guy Says:
Thank You Nicola. You are of course correct and I am way cool. It reminds me of the time that me, Falco and Nick Kershaw were drinking in Coff's Harbour together. It was a dark, rainy night. I remember because my long flowing hair was soaked. Anyway, me and Nick thought "wouldn't it be great if we stole the Big Banana....... "
