I'm seeing the "new" indicator even when there are no new posts.

That seems fairly common -- I get that occasionally.  What is less common, I assume, is that you post and the post doesn't show up for you immediately.  I don't get that.

BOS Laverne and Shirley
Squiggy too.

hard to believe that show went into 1980, which is technically the 80s but is more like 1979.5

indeed, most entertaining for me.

This has turned out to be a pretty remarkable week, considering the kinds of stuff we've been hearing in recent months. Three of the four sets we've heard up to now have had some pretty significant stuff (today's being the high water mark, but yesterday's 94 set wasn't too shabby), and we still have '69 to look forward to. However, since the last few 60s set have been short on nuggets and long on overplayed evergreens, I'm not letting my expectations get too high.
Let's get right to it.
