Proper 80s Indie

The Noah Leg-Room Show (Clean Version)

The Noah Leg-Room

Step into the jangly, rebellious heart of the 1980s with this week’s Proper 80s Indie Show — a lovingly curated dive into the underground sounds that defined a generation. From post-punk poetry to C86 sparkle, this episode captures the raw spirit of indie before it got polished. Expect lo-fi charm, angular guitars, and lyrics that actually meant something. Whether you were there the first time or just wish you had been, this mix is your time machine to a decade where DIY ruled and the charts were merely a suggestion. 📻 Tracklist: 1. The Smiths – "This Charming Man" 2. Orange Juice – "Rip It Up" 3. The Pastels – "Nothing to Be Done" 4. The Jesus and Mary Chain – "Just Like Honey" 5. Aztec Camera – "Walk Out to Winter" 6.

This episode is a love letter to the era when indie meant independence — musically, politically, and spiritually.
