From making movies to making x-rays: "Skateaway" and "Turning Japanese" kick off the set.

Light-years ahead of Bob's '80 set yesterday -- note that the only song both sets share is "Ah! Leah!".  I'd've BOS'd the Jam, John, and Rockpile.

I'm not recognizing that Pylon entry...should I be?

It was totally new to me.  Interesting curiosity, but not my cuppa.

I think they were another band out of Athens in the same wave that brought us REM and the B-52s. They didn't catch on quite as well though (minor understatement).

Now that you say that it makes perfect sense.  Thx!
