Ain't nothing going on but the rent in '86. I have some crappy mandatory meeting regarding social media (!), so I won't be able to post on FB, etc, etc.
We are in dire need of a haaaayy moment, so I've requested "Nasty" and "Get Fresh for the Weekend". Nevah say nevah! ;)

a "social media" meeting prevents you from using Social Media! paging Alanis -- THIS is ironic, honey.

VHM PSBs but something other than "West End Girls" woulda been a BOS.

BOS Mr Palmer covering Cherelle, which is also becoming a frequent-flier.
-
feh to the PsyFurs remake of "PinP" -- the orig is still better.
-
HM, Pretty In Pink, both the clip and the track.
Funny, but Mike posted something about a Palmer track, and I was listening, but have no memory of it. Work work work...

There's an original? This is the only one I know.

Get off my radio you whiny git!

they re-did it for the sndtk (label issues, apparently).
BOS2 Smiths but twice in one week is kinda silly.
-
NOOOOOO! uber-unnecessary: the Call. Sheesh, talk about a SuperTrina.

Morissey is rapidly turning into a guilty displeasure for me.

BOS3FRA REM. A welcome non-overplayed track.
-
Is the Imelda clip => Paul Simon a repeat segue?
-
Diamonds on the soles of Imelda's shoes. heh. Cute segue but another rather unnecessary track.
-
Is the Imelda clip => Paul Simon a repeat segue?
I'm pretty sure I heard the Imelda clip, at least, a few months ago.
-
Is the Imelda clip => Paul Simon a repeat segue?
I believe you are correct, sir!

this song has one of the all time best fretless bass riffs. I will admit to having sold the bassist a bass back then, and consider him a friend. Listen!

Songs that quote video game sound effects are pretty rare, no?

"Wakka Wakka."
BOS to PSB. I agree that the reboot of Pretty In Pink we heard here isn't as good as the orig.
BOSFRA to REM, too.
I'm reading the book about SNL called "Live From New York" and Paul Simon was pretty tight with the early cast and crew. He hosted the second ever show, you know; Art Garfunkel came on and they did about four songs together in a sort of S&G reunion.. Paul himself did some other songs, too -- he opened the show w "Crazy After All These Years," for instance. It was quite a diff show in that first season, esp the early ones. More music, more standup comedy, more films... I learned that Billy Crystal was scheduled to be on that first show ever, but Lorne Michaels needed to cut some time, and told Billy he could do shortened version of his act. Billy's managers told him to walk and not do the show. oops.
-
BOS4 Love & Rockets just for not being "So Alive"
-
IS this Robyn Hitchcock? Good tune.
ETA: I see I could have avoided embarrassment by waiting 10 seconds later >:(
-
Walk Like a Katrina. (yeah, obvious, but so is most of this set)

Billy Crystal: One of two people to host SNL, and later be a cast member. Who was the other?
-

A true 1986 10@10 selection. And what makes most of us hate that year.
-
BOS, "Rock Me Amadeus."
-
Rock me
Jerry Lewis Amadeus. Er war ein zoopershtar, er war zo pop-oo-lar!
-
I realize we're all radio and music geeks here but it's amazing how many people really think AL is free to play whatever she wants on 10@10.
-
'86 bonus track after the set, TH "And She Was" (came out in '85, but probably still charting in '86). So this one sort of went to 11.

I haven't picked up on that from the book yet, but I'll guess Michael McKean.

Correct. McKean might have the title of most ignored cast member ever.

If you like the show, the book is a great read. But I also wonder about the editing. For instance, I recently read The Chris Farley Show, and in that book Bob Odenkirk says Live From New York quoted him all wrong when it came to Farley.

I loved this book so much that I gifted it to several friends of mine who were interested in breaking into the business.

Walk Like a Katrina. (yeah, obvious, but so is most of this set)
The FB chatter was just as boring as the set. In fact, the only good lines were you pointing out how repetitive the selections were.
I also whined on Annalisa's page after the show about her not getting to my request though she said she would after the previous '86 visit. I'm a big boy, so I should know that her "We'll have to get to that one next time" is the equivalent of an old friend's "We'll have to get together soon;" it's just something that people say to fill up space. Still, though, it was annoying.

Indeed, I've been promised Tinita Tikaram on the "next" 1989 set (which should be next week, probably). We'll see how that works out.

I actually do have the book and home (and have read it). Generally ok, although like pretty much every other piece of media related to that show, they've glossed over the non-Lorne Michaels era (1980-1985). Just saw those episodes streaming on Netflix, and they weren't half as bad as I'd expected.

-
A lot of repeats...but they were the right repeats. I could never get sick of the PSBs, P. Furs, Call, or Falco songs. The Smiths sounded in place. Good Love and Rockets song which was NTM. Even REM wasn't bad.
-
Even REM wasn't bad.
:o
Slightly better than the "Thong Song"? ;)
