yes, the thread is up WAAAAY early. Sombody must have plans this evening.

Maybe she's making up for not having a thread last night?

Lord, if you exist, deliver me from George Ezra.

TOTHK: Sweet Lou, "I Loves You Suzanne". Not exactly rare, but a delightful "why wasn't this a hit single?" BOS1

Bad diction = big hit.
Late start today -- the Morning Show signoff wasn't until 10:02 by my clock, and then Budapest followed that. Kicking off now at 10:07.

I requested Lou, but I asked for My Red Joy Stick, not ILYS, which is about the only song that gets played off New Sensations.
-
wow, the similarity between the Lou Reed tune and this Los Lobos "Don't Worry baby" is striking.
-
Lyres, "Help You Ann" an AL rarity
Karate Kid "wax on, wax off" -- Smiths, "What Diff/Make?" which has made a number of appearances, iirc.
-
A Beantown band from AL's youth:
The Lyres, Help You Ann
Rarity if not bustout. BOS.
-
Chaka Khan gets our "HAAAAAAY!" on. VHM.

Remember when *any* Smiths song was a true rarity? Now it's a rare mid-80s set in which they DON'T appear. This one is at least a less-played one.
(Btw, the morning show played This Charming Man not a half hour ago. ETA: Which I see Mike called out in the KFOG but not 10@10 thread when it happened.)
-
more Karate Kid --> "Smalltown Boy". BOS2 Bronski Beat.
-
Eurythmics, "Who's That Girl?", BOS3, tho' I associate it with '83 when it was a UK hit.

back in the day (the '90s) KFOG would not play them AT ALL -- I always found it odd that the 2 most-popular "alt" radio bands of the '80s were U2 and the Smiths, yet while KFOG played U2 endlessly they ignored Morrissey & Co. Dave was even afraid to play them on 10@10 for quite a long time.
-
Romantics, one I coulda done without.
-
"suupose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp..."
Meat Puppets, "Plateau" -- bustout?
ETA: it appears to be our bustout today.
-
BOS4 Ms Lauper, "She Bop"
-
Here's one I *never* would have guessed:
Meat Puppets, Plateau.
Made popular a number of years later by Cobain et al on their Unplugged turn.
-
"suupose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp..."
Repo Man is the Annie Hall of 1984.

LOL. Overall, a solid B+ for this set.
-
