The good folks at Rhino Records have asked us here at Slicing Up Eyeballs to guest-curate their weekly Rhinofy playlist “Just Can’t Get Enough — The ’80s” on the Spotify streaming-music service for the month of December, which means we’ll have a new 20-song playlist posted each of the next four Fridays — starting today. You can check out what’s included in this week’s batch of ’80s alternative favorites below, or just head straight to Spotify to listen to the while thing, if you’re already a subscriber. If not, you can sign up for free if it’s available in your territory. And be sure to head over to Rhinofy’s page to see all of the other playlists the label has to offer.

You name a playlist after a Depeche Mode song and don’t put any Depeche Mode on it?! :)
As Dina points out, I didn’t name the playlist, it’s a standing Rhino feature based on one of their ’80s comps. And don’t worry, DM will appear sometime in the next 3 playlists…
Boingo Alive version? ugh. But anywayyy, good playlist.
I actually prefer almost all of the ‘Boingo Alive’ versions to the originals…
This is named after Rhino Records multi-volume 80’s collection “Just Can’t Get Enough”….
Nice! Would love to see The Sound, Comsat Angels, The Wild Swans & Sad Lovers And Giants make it one of these playlists!
BTW was listening to this all weekend….very nice! thanks!
