The Peak, 10/23/06: It's 1984
« on: October 23, 2006, 07:23:18 AM »
Wow, I haven't started a 10@10 setlist thread in ages.  A very pleasant surprise with the Bangles' "Going Down to Liverpool."  A shame that sunny folk-rock has more or less died, at least where visibility and the charts are concerned.

a wonderful song, the Katrina & the Waves version is quite nice too.

Arrived in time for Chrissie the Avenger. (and what a great Emma Peel Ms Hynde woulda made!)

OMGWTF but not LOL: Art of Noise's "Close to the Edit," which I haven't heard in many, many years.  Great video for its time.

I was listening to the Bangles' "Hero Takes A Fall" on my Zen & thinking about GDTL as well.
