Songwriter Wayne Carson died yesterday -- among his gems were "The Letter", "Soul Deep" and "Neon Rainbow" (all for the Box Tops)... and a little ditty called "Always On My Mind" which the Pet Shop Boys did in '88. So don't be surprised if we hear that one (even tho' she played it a month ago).

Siouxie says "Peek-a-Boo" to start us off with a rarity -- only a couple of prev appearances.

OMFG: "Pop Goes the World". MWH.  BOS1 for the Cap'n's request.  A bustout, apparently.

I coulda done without "Wild Wild West".  I still think "sheriff's on the airwaves talking to the D.J.'s" sounds like "Cher is on the airwaves..."

EEK: sounds like a 12" remix.

One of the non-GS fogheads requested it along with a bunch of other FFs. Some people just want to hear the same 10 songs over and over and over...

Mike + Mechanics -- "Living Years", sentimental fave for me. BOS3.  It generally appears in '89 sets, no?

ETA: it's one of those on-the-cusp'ers
