The LeBrain Train: 2000 Words or More with Mike and Friends
Episode 88 – 1981 in Depth
For those about to rock, we salute you!
Last year, Deke and I went in-depth on key releases from the year 1980. This year, Deke did an excellent followup with his friend Muc, on albums from 1981. When Deke and I tackled 1980, we were still using Facebook Live, with all its limitations and frustrations! We still did an incredible show, and I’ve been chomping at the bit to do it again. This time I am able to beef up the panel to four.
These shows have a different format from the usual. Each of us picks three albums from the year 1981, and we discuss them in depth. From the facts & figures, to the historical context, and personal impact, we will cover it. I won’t reveal the 12 albums total we will be discussing, but you won’t be disappointed. Expect variety. We will also tackle world history and pop culture of the year, and might even have early video footage of a very young Uncle Meat in his first acting role!
Your panel are as follows:
- Myself (LeBrain)
- Australia Guy (Harrison — who was not even born in 1981)
- Dr Dave (Dave Haslam)
- Uncle Meat (Eric Litwiller)

Probably a lot. I just played it again now. I’m really excited. Meat says he took notes for the first time ever. He says he enjoyed prep for this one more than actual shows!

Yes actually! What happened was after the Max interview last week, I asked Harrison what he wanted to do next? We decided on the 1981 show which I had planned since summer. Suddenly Meat messaged me. “Dave and I want in!” It was an amazing year for music and history. They made some great picks.
