A 21st birthday set for one Eric Kingsbury. So that means '88, no?

WTF is this TOTHK? I have no idea, hope that means we're going to uncharted territory today.

I missed whatever AL said in intro, but TANC: I was just listening to "Peekaboo," my favorite Siouxisie tune, this week.

a set programmed by a birthday-ing Foghead. Hope he has good taste; Siouxie is a good omen.

VVHM to the late Divine.

And another BOS to David Lindley and El Rayo-X covering Do Ya Wanna Dance? Loved Lindley et al back in this era.

ETA: Like Davefish, this wasn't my fave of theirs, but the nifty surf-guitar break quoting from numerous other songs is kinda cool.

listening away from my computer until the end there, you recall correctly.  They were usually abbreviated to TPOH back in the day.

My biggest Woo-Hoo moment was hearing Ana Ng finally, something I asked for many times when Dave would play "Birdhouse" to death.

indeed, this was really all I've ever been asking for in these usually boring late '80s/early '90s sets: a couple bustouts and a couple pure pop-chart items. Not so hard to do really, and it was accomplished skillfully today.

ETA: And it wasn't clear from the backannounce if "Eric" chose the songs or AL. She said Eric's dad requested 1988 because Eric's birth was announced by Dave on 10@10 on this date in '88 (wonder what year it was that day?).

Bonus track was Michelle Shocked's When I Grow Up, which is being used for some commercial product. Saw it last night, advertising women's health product of some sort, possibly?  Great song.

Speaking of great songs, I wish I could hear one instead of 21 Guns for once.

I'm proud to say those are Kaiser spots -- touting our mammogram program. "Kaiser women get mammograms -- do you?" or something like that.  Even if I didn't work here, I'd have to say it's a really cool commercial.

I'm thinking the Foghead Dad made the request, not Eric himself.  Both my younger brothers got married in '89, so it's certainly within reason that I could have gotten married myself before that & immediately started having kids, in which case I would most certainly have remembered Siouxsie* and the rest.  As it stands I didn't get married until '96, and my kids are turning 10 & 8 next week, not 21.

*  I have a distinct memory (because I had a limo-driving gig on New Years's Eve & was thus sitting inthe car) of the 1988 Year End Countdown on 91X, and "Peekaboo" was #1 overall, narrowly edging out my personal choice - U2's "Desire" which was #2.
