No FB posting/request thread as of 10:30pm.

RGM: prediction comes true a week late.  Thread is up.  More "relevant" clips in store; this was the year of Do the Right Thing.

About this set,

"Monday June 16, 2014 - 1989  Let the Day Begin in...1989!

 1.  The Call- Let the Day Begin
   (News: Fall of the Berlin Wall)
  2.  Love and Rockets- So Alive
   (Sports: Oakland A's beat the Giants- World Series)
  3.  Bob Mould- See a Little Light
    (Sports: A's - Champs)
  4.  Stevie Ray Vaughan- The House is Rockin'
  5.  The Alarm- Sold Me Down the River
    (TV: Cheers- The Mayor visits the bar)
  6.  XTC- Mayor of Simpleton
  7.  Elvis Costello- Veronica
    (Mov: When Harry Met Sally)
  8.  Smithereens- A Girl Like You
    (Mov: When Harry Met Sally)
  9.  Fine Young Cannibals- She Drives Me Crazy
 10. The Ocean Blue- Between Something and Nothing (B.O.S!!)"

Dischead wrote, "Oh, if only instead of these two [Bob Mould and Ocean Blue] we had gotten some Traveling Wilburys and Tears For Fears...
then it would have been ten LNs.  That would have been some kind of achievement, however
dubious.  Instead this show was just another mediocre piece of shyte."

Maybe it will be a perfect 10 today? The last '89er was on the 25th anniversary of Loma Prieta and tried to capture its zeitgeist in some type of narrative form.

It's new to me, but then again, I was scrupulously avoiding Morrissey and his mopey cohort in the 80s. I'm happy I have developed an appreciation for a lot of what they were doing...

Has she ever gone to Public Enemy out of one of these frequently-played Do the Right Thing clips? That song was all over that movie.
