Title: 22 March 2013: it's... 1987
Post by: RGMike on March 22, 2013, 09:52:44 AM
presumably a late-'80s day.

clue: "Jon Lovitz on SNL that year" which would be... anywhere from '85 to '90.

man, I *really* don't wanna hear about Joe Theismann's prostate.

eek: '87. this is gonna be gruesome, I'm betting.  But VHM JCM, "PIF"

But, one that has made plenty of appearances on KFOG regular programming since DC took the reins.  Along with "Texas."  DC loves some CR.

didn't realize DC had that in rotay. It was a fave of mine when it was new, and I was disappointed when it wasn't a major pop hit in the US. I remember buying the 45 at Tower, back when they stocked the entire Billboard Hot 100 each week.

Oy: uber-uber-LN INXS. It's one of DC's kind.

Echo & The Bunnymen "Lips Like Sugar"

This may be the most played '87 track of all, but I still like hearing it. I'm anticipating RGMike writing LN to the several uber power as I type this.

The pink rectangle indicates not as emphatic an LN denunciation as I'd thought.

Yep. However Ferry used many of the Roxy supporting musicians (pretty much everyone but Manzanera and Mackay), so it's nearly interchangeable. Gets my BOS for today.

They broke up for a time in the mid-80s but got back together again in '86 or so. I think they've since broken up and reformed several times.

Yep, a quick look (grep is your friend) reveals it was played three or four times a year in the DM
era, and about once a year in the AL era.  Still, I've always liked the video because it has lots of
interesting trompe l'oeil effects and optical illusions.
