20 Jan 2016: It's... 1988
« on: January 19, 2016, 06:10:43 PM »
It's National Disk Jockey Day -- a set of radio/deejay songs would be swell. (And of course Bowie has one.)

No more dead rock stars in the last day or so? Good.

It also occurs to me that for DJ Day we could get an early-'80s year with WKRP clips

Siouxie, "Peek-a-Boo", another well-traveled entry.

Working Girl head for biz, bod for sin --> Wilburys "Last Nite". Dear gawd this is underwhelming so far.

JCM covers Buddy Holly -- a welcome rarity.

That's kinda been my reaction too. There are good songs to be played from '88, are there not? So far they haven't made an appearance.

Seemed like she was trying to fool us with the juxtaposed movie quotes, but we sussed it out.

Is this Bauhaus? Peter Murphy?

Jimmy Swaggart sins --> "Everybody Knows", another serious LN/FF, as good a song as it may be.
