This week on Transmission, I'm spotlighting some of the best ballads of the New Wave era in the 1980s. It just so happens that the show lands on the night before Valentine's Day. Perfect. So get your blank cassettes ready to record some of your favorites, because it's going to be the perfect special V-Day mix for your sweetie, and I promise to not even talk over the intros.
