I'd be happy with that, since I can't listen on Thurs. :)

Also, I note that altho' AL's thread went up relatively early, there are less than 20 comments in that thread as of this morning.

Growing antipathy toward late 80s sets? Could it be?

Information Society, with the repeated sample of Spock saying "pure energy"....belated homage to Nimoy?

BOS Robin Hitchcock, VHM Primitives (whom I saw live in a total hole-in-the-wall that year), HM Hiatt & Bangles.

9. Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians - Balloon Man

Hitchcock not a rarity per se and always a fave, so BOS2, after Siouxsie.
Also, Fatal Attraction was released in 87, just sayin'.

And, phone meeting pushed half an hour, as often happens.

Was just checking in to see why I have "Cruel Summer" stuck in my head.  Must have been just before or just after the set.

FWIW, if any of you are or have ever been fans of 91X (in TJ/SD...Dred was there for a while), at their end of year countdown, "Peekaboo" finished #1, just ahead of U2's "Desire".

Not a FF in total, but it has seen regular spins in recent years, so its novelty is
wearing off.  AL mentioned the Nimoy nod in the backsell.


(Fatal Attraction clip - Glenn Close)

Yep, which is why that was a clip from Dangerous Liaisons.


10. Salt-N-Pepa - Push It

A bustout, and the first appearance on 10@10 by Salt-N-Pepa.

ETA:  Kind of cutting-edge in its day -- an early female rap group in a very male-dominated
genre.  Now being used to hawk car insurance on television.  I'm wondering when I'll be
hearing Ron DMC and Beastie Boys on elevator muzak.

couldn't listen but except for the S&P bustout, not exactly earth-shattering, I'd say.

Per AL on FB, John Hiatt got BOS.

Well, you nailed the pattern if not the order. Digging the swinging sounds of '66 today, and hoping for a typical AL treatment of '99 tomorrow.

Well, that would explain it. I stand corrected.
