8 Sept 2014: it's... 1980

Someone on FB just used the old knife in the teeth and set on fire clichés.

Oh, that was me.

Jimmy Carter / Bill Clinton / Ted Kennedy ---> Devo "Freedom Of Choice"

The Teardrop Explodes "When I Dream"

Holeee crap -- a bustout that I've requested multiple times. Impressive. This, the Cars tune and "Dirty Mind" balance out the uber-FF-ness of The Vapors and Bowie. I'm thinking the McCartney is relatively rare but I'll have to check.

I wonder if AL is "cleaning out" her request lists the past few weeks (no request post for the past few Mondays and a Friday a couple of weeks ago).

I can't blame her for not wanting to post every night, though it might just be coincidence. But it does prove that she really does keep a list of all the requests and ya never know when an old one might pop up.

Not sure what kinda airplay "When I Dream" got in SF; it was very big on NYC prog-FM, which was awash in New Wave One-Hit-Wonders in the early '80s (before "alternative" arrived as a format in '82).  Some folks in 'snipe-land had never heard it before.
