Someone gets a birthday request granted--and they ask for 86? No accounting for taste, I tellya.
ETA: Just realized I saw Level 42 in 1986 (they opened for Steve Winwood on his first solo tour). Or rather, I heard them--the night they played Shoreline was also Game 6 of the World Series that year, so I was with about 20 guys huddled around someone's battery powered TV trying to see what was going on. Winwood was good, but rather a depressing evening on the whole.

Well, she's 40 -- so she was 20 then. Fond memories I guess. And the Level 42 is nice enough. But I still feel like I'm the only person with a milestone B-day who didn't get a request in the past year.
VHM Bryan & Tina, though I still feel like she could eat him alive.
-
Some Stevie Nicks for Gaz.
Y'know what I'd love to hear? Pat Benatar, "Sex as a Weapon".
-
I gotta give a VHM to the Call, this was one of my favorite songs of that year.
-
VHM OMD. I was so happy at the time that they finally had a sizeable US hit. Their "best-of" is a must-own.
-
OMG! BOS XTC, "Summer's Cauldron" from the brilliant Skylarking.
-
Wow, segue of the day to the Reagan Challenger clip into Drowning in Summer's Cauldron. Don't think this is a bust out, but a far underplayed cut. And a red-letter day in general for XTC songs.

actually "Fall on Me" woulda made a better seg. "Building towered foresight" indeed.

Ditto VHM; I'd just discovered them via "So in Love" and was delighted.
Also HM for "Fall on Me"; I wish Mike Mills had gotten to sing more.
Missed Stevie -- which track? (I was busy with a pitch letter; sometimes I need silence for my wordplay to work.)
-
Whee, "Walk Like an Egyptian" still puts a smile on my face. I always did love their shakers.

Best Guilty Pleasure -- The Bangles 8)

lots of guys love Suzanna Hoffs', er, "shakers" :wink:
I still think there's a Rachel Sweet version of this in a vault somewhere...

20-20 hindsight.

Stevie was "I Can't Wait", but I missed the OMD, which was that?
-
HM for Icehouse. Although I just started listening, so it's BOS so far. Just spent 20 minutes on the Mountain Winery trying to buy tickets for their new season. Couldn't get closer than row Q. Kinda disappointing.

I saw a stand up comic do the following bit:
"Hey wanna see my Susanna Hoffs impression?" (he then rolls his eyes sharply from right to left just like she did in the video.)

Kudos on naming-the-artist; I haven't heard this in 20 years, I don't suppose.
-
VHM Icehouse, doing their best Roxy Music imitation.
-

I didn't listen to hit radio then, and they were all over the alt stations I was listening to.
Very BOS to JJ, "Right & Wrong", love Graham Maby's bass on this.

I'll second the BOS for JJ. I'm gonna see him do weird versions of his songs at Montalvo.

Bonus: T.Heads, "Love 4 Sale" (tho' she coulda picked "Puzzling Evidence").
