That'd be OK.

And an early BOS candidate to U2, from Unforgettable Fire. Title is escaping me at the moment.

ETA: Wire?

Yep, it's gaining in popularity with Dave...3rd spin in the past 12 mos, vs. only 2 Db appearances prior to last Aug.

This sure sounds like Pink Floyd, but they've never appeared in an '84 set before.  Is this a wrong year spin of the one track Dave plays in '83, "Your Possible Pasts"?  I don't know the track well enough to be sure.

Oh twistin'....

Least necessary of set = Cars "Magic", although upon glancing at the Db I see it's not the massive Katrina I felt it was.

It's a David Gilmour track called Until We Sleep, off his About Face solo record. It appears once before, October of 2004.

I don't know who that was, but Pink Floyd did not occur to me...

Oh dear god. Sally Field over-emoting at the Oscars.

Although the segue into Thomas Dolby's Hyperactive is kind of apt.

I was thinking of Hyperactive this morning.  No idea why, but glad to hear it now.

Good call on the apt segue.

And hey, I couldn't use the old stream address.  Had to go back to KFrOG website to launch the player.  Do you all have this problem?

Yes, it has been discussed on the Forum Feedback thread.  No solution yet.

Whoa, here's the song Mike will regret missing--Pretenders, I Hurt You. Total bustout. And one of three songs from Learning to Crawl that had never appeared in a 10@10. Now just two--Thumbelina and Watching the Clothes.
