dammit, the player's not working -- just missed the Jags, "Back of My hand", one of my fave New Wave OHWs and the goofiest Elvis Costello imitation ever.

[RGMike]

NOW it's working -- missed Chrissie's "Stop Yer Sobbing" and the Ramones "RnR Radio" but here's the Romantics.

"what-I-like-a-bout-you..."
"R-O-C-K in the U-S-A..."

damn, I never noticed that similarity before.

Christine, the strawberry girl! Banana Split Lady! BOS Siouxie.

a VERY New Wave-oriented set.

now she's in purple, now she's a turtle...

[RGMike]

OMG! Fischer-Z (pronounced, British-style, as "Fischer Zed"), "So Long" havent heard this since it was a "hit". BOS2

[RGMike]

Psychedelic Furs - Sister Europe
Rolling Stones - She's So Cold
Jags - Back Of My Hand (I've Got Your Number)

Sorry to have missed the heart of the set -- worth catching on the replay for sure.

That came up on my playlist earlier this week & I was wondering who else in the group might even be familiar with it.  Fun song.

Very cool on the replay.  Although it seems the CD-player had some minor skipping on both "Skateaway" & "Christine".
